"i decided to switch to this from reclipsen (apri) because i liked the idea of only four periods a year. big mistake. this birth control made me break out like i never have before. i also gained about 25 pounds while on this. being a young woman, those are the two biggest things i look for in a birth control pill, besides effectiveness obviously. the chemical difference between the two pills obviously did not agree with my body, and i switched back to reclipsen after about 6 months. i will be sticking to reclipsen for a long time."
