"this is the first birth control i have been on, and after hearing all the birth control horror stories that friends/family had, i&#039;m happy to say that my experience with this pill so far has been a good one! the first month or two i did experience some acne and occasional nausea, as well as going from a b to c cup (a welcome change.) however none of the symptoms have been any worse than symptoms of a period. my period lightened soon after beginning the pill packs and i stopped getting my period alltogether about 6 months after starting the pills, which (my obgyn told me early on) was to be expected. my insurance also completely covers this pill, so that&#039;s definitely a plus!"
