"as someone who has a needle phobia and a history of factor five in my family, i opted for the mini pill. i also have chronic migraine headaches, occasionally with auras, so that limits my options again. upon readings errin&#039;s reviews, i was nervous. however, a month and a half in, i have no weight gain, no moodiness, the only negative thing for me was my periods. out of a month and a half, i have had 3 weeks of bleeding, however it is lighter than usual and took my period down from 7 days average to 3-4 days average. i take my pill at the exact time everyday, i recommend setting an alarm. also,i have been diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder (a form of depression) and generalized anixety disorder, and errin has had no effect on my mood"
