"i took apri for over 2 years with no side effects. my periods went from extremely heavy for 6-7 days to very light for 3-4 days. my cramps went away, skin cleared up a little bit. then i switched to implanon for a month. during that time i bled every single day and broke out horribly all over my chest and back. so i got that removed and went back on apri. since then my periods have gone back to normal, i&#039;ve gone up 2 cup sizes in the last 8 months, but i have been experiencing some very mild nausea and lightheadedness. i love it overall."
