"overall i liked this pill. the positives outweighed the negatives for me. initially i took it to change my cycle due to a vacation i was going on. i decided to stay on it for another 4 months as birth control. the positives- regular period, no weight gain, no breakthrough bleeding, no more cramping, no co-pay, and no babies! the negatives- mood swings, leg cramps, occasional cystic acne (a week before and during placebo week), remembering to take it everyday, and breast tenderness. eventually i got tired of remembering to take a pill everyday, so i switched to the nexplanon arm implant which has been great so far. if the pill doesn&#039;t work out for you, there are other good options!"
