"this is the only birth control that i have used and it was recommended to me by a friend. i have been on it for over two years now and have had virtually no side effects at all. during my first month on it i spotted almost everyday, but after that i did not have a single issue with this pill. my periods are extremely light to the point where i have not even needed a pad or tampon in two years. i have not experienced any acne, mood swings, weight gain, or libido changes whatsoever."
