"i have been on this birth control for 3 months and for me i only get pimples during the period week, i have gained weight but only 8lbs through out the whole 3 months, and i have a very high sex drive during the second week. the week before my period i am doing good, but the last 2 days i get mood swings and craving of food. personally i don&#039;t get headache, cramps, or pain. also i have a light flow now, i use to have to have a very heavy flow."
