"i took this pill for birth control, less cramps and a lighter period. overall, the pill got the job done. i had very light periods and they lasted only 5 days. however, only one month into taking the pill, i got my very first yeast infection. since then, i have had many infections/vaginal irritations. sometimes lasting a whole month!!! this has ruined my sex drive and made me very uncomfortable. i finally realized that maybe the pill is causing this irritation and i have been off of it for a week. feeling better....also, breasts grew a full size but were always very tender. never had bad breakouts, but did gain a little weight - 5 lbs."
