"i&#039;ve been taking mononessa since january 2013, and have had a really good experience. no weight gain, no hormonal changes, no unexpected pregnancies! if i ever had side-effects it was within the first month of taking the pills just because my body was adjusting to them. but ever since, my period has been extremely consistent and gotten a lot lighter (which is nice!). i honestly just have no complaints. also, with a committed partner, it has been totally safe to have sex without a condom (if you&#039;re wondering about that kind of thing). i&#039;ve never had a scare or anything with this birth control -- it&#039;s been super effective. overall, it&#039;s just a great product. love it. also, shout out to obamacare for covering my birth control!"
