"i started taking this to prevent pregnancy and so far, it has been awful. although i&#039;m not pregnant, it has given me extreme mood swings. one minute i&#039;m fine and the next i&#039;m crying my eyes out for no reason and i get irritated very easily. i was on my period for nearly 2 1/2 weeks when i first started it. my sex drive has increased a significant amount. i used to have sex maybe twice a week with my boyfriend but when i got on the birth control i was constantly wanting to have sex. my acne has decreased slightly, not much. my boobs have not grown at all. i have experienced a huge amount of weight gain- 15 pounds in a month. it&#039;s honestly been so awful taking this pill. the only good thing is i&#039;m not pregnant."
