"after 5 months on this birth control i must say that i really like it. after the first month i started spotting but i stopped taking the pills to allow myself to have a period and i have not spotted ever since. my skin has cleared, i have no pms, no mood swings and obviously rarely have periods. only complaints are  my sugar cravings (can&#039;t lose weight to save my life). but other than that i enjoy it. i save so much on feminine hygiene products and book travels with no worries."
