"i recently started this pill almost a month ago to prevent pregnancy. i am almost finished with the first pack and anxious to see what my period will be like. as for side effects, i have been very emotional and irritable at times. i used to be on a different medicine for acne but once i started this pill i stopped taking the other medicine and now i have whiteheads everywhere, which is opposite from what i usually get. i also have been very constipated and have had alot of gas although i havent gained any weight. overall i dont know if i would recommend this pill due to all of the side effects that i have already experienced."
