"i have been on aubra for 1yr. this is my 2nd form of bc. 1st was implanon, had it for 2 months, couldn&#039;t deal with the spotting/crazy period. i haven&#039;t noticed any huge side effects on aubra but there are some. i gained 10 lbs. my breasts feel sore the week before/the week of my period. i get minor mood swings/some depression, but nothing extreme. i break out a few days before my period, but i already had that problem previous to taking the pill. sex drive remained as high as always. head aches from time to time that i used to not get. no more severe cramps and my period is light flow and it only lasts 3/4 days, used to be heavy lasting 6 days. i am not pregnant so far so its worked. i have read it causes hyperpigmentation which i have above my brow"
