"i was taking this for three months and will be switching. i&#039;ve had &quot;spotting&quot; for about 2.5 months (some days worse than others), and i feel as though i am overly emotional and anxious on it. i&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s due to bc, but i also feel as though it&#039;s causing my hair to fall out much more rapidly. giving it a 3 only because i didn&#039;t gain weight while taking it, which was a concern for me."
