"i was a bit on the edge to start taking this pill, because of how poorly it was reviewed. i&#039;m now a couple months in, and i have no complaints. my mood has stayed as positive as before, and i have had depression before but no signs of that came back. my sex drive was pretty high before, and is now the same, or even more now that i don&#039;t have to worry about getting pregnant.  i haven&#039;t gained any bloatingness, or gained weight, but that could be because i exercise, and have a minimal decreased appetite since i&#039;ve been on the pill. my acne has been clearing up as well. the only weight gain i have noticed is that my breasts grew a whole cup size. nothing but positive effects from velvivet!"
