"overall a good birth control to take. i have been using for 3 months and period is lighter with no cramps, don&#039;t get mood swings just a little sensitive a day before period. first few weeks i felt nauseous in mornings an head aches on and off but then they went away. no weight gain so far, boobs got a little bigger. a downside is i have been breaking out when usually i have no acne at all. so far very reliable because not pregnant"
