"i have been on this pill for about a year and a half now... at first, my periods were heavy and irregular but now i am down to a regular cycle of one really light period every month (lasting about 2-3 days max). before i started the pill, i had problems with acne and now i have virtually none at all. no weight gain. the only negative side effects that i&#039;ve experienced are some weird mood swings every now and then. but for me, this pill is everything i could have hoped for, just wish it were a little cheaper."
