"i am 15 and this is the second birth control i&#039;ve tried. previously i was on ortho-tri-cyclen lo and i immediately stopped that because it turned me into an emotional monster. i was scared to try this birth control because i didn&#039;t want to get emotional again. but i did try and i love it. i&#039;m on my second pack now. i have not gained weight, if anything i&#039;ve lost weight. the only side effects i&#039;ve had is breast tenderness and i get a little nauseous from time to time. but that&#039;s it! also before my period i will break out a little bit, but after the period this pill keeps my skin clear! this pill doesn&#039;t make me emotional either. so don&#039;t be afraid too try it!"
