"i was very scared about all the side effects of birth control. however, i recently got married and we had used abstinence during our year and a half of dating and i needed a birth control for after we got married and this is what i was given. i am going on my 4th month now and have experienced none of the side effects. i eat healthy and live an active lifestyle and don&#039;t ever workout and i haven&#039;t gained any weight. i had mood swings before i got on any birth control usually right before my period and that is kind of the regular for me even with this pill. my skin is a lot clearer. my boobs did get bigger for a little while there. my periods are either light or non existent. i take this pill every night at 10 so i don&#039;t experience nausea as i&#039;m asleep."
