"i went on this pill a while back to help regulate my period and help with severe cramps. i had an extremely heavy flow and my cramps were so unbearable. also, i would get my period for 12 days, sometimes twice a month. since being on the pill, i usually dont get any cramps which is amazing. i also noticed that my skin is always 100% clear. however, i would say that i gained a solid 20 pounds since being on the pill and am currently trying to work it off with healthy eating and regular exercise. side note, the first week i took this i was throwing up every night and feeling nauseated but if you stick with it those side effects eventually subside.  overall, besides the weight gain i would say that this pill has done wonders."
