"i went on this pill about 4 or so years ago and did not have too many issues. i occasionally broke out from time-to-time and i did gain a little weight over the last few years but i think that&#039;s more my fault for living off a college diet and not exercising like i should have. i went on the pill almost as soon as i became sexually active and have not had any pregnancy scares so it did that job in that respect. it also kept my periods regular and fairly short (about 4 days). however, around the time of my period i experienced extremely bad headaches (sometimes migraines accompained with vomiting) so my doctor just switched me over to a new pill recently. but other than that, i&#039;ve had no complaints and would reccommend this birth control."
