"i have been taking this medication a little over 7 months now. i take it so i don&#039;t have to get my period. i used to get  awful period pains and now i have absolutely none!  i used to struggle with acne and was worried it might make me break out, but if anything it made my skin clearer. also my breasts went up a size and haven&#039;t gained weight anywhere else so far. when i first started i dealt with a little breakthrough bleeding but that went away after a week or two. so for me personally i have had a really good experience with it. i would recommend trying it, but if you feel depressed or get bad side effects like others on it, i would try something new right away. it&#039;s just about finding the right birth control for your body"
