"i&#039;ve been on this birth control for 8 months. it would work perfect for me if it wasn&#039;t for the acne. i have no mood swings, my period is normal (can be crampy for the first day, but nothing too crazy), my sex drive is normal (definitely increased compared to yaz!), and i have been able to lose weight on it. however, it has not helped my acne at all. i think it actually makes it worse. i think i will be switching soon for that reason. i should also mention if i don&#039;t take it within an hour or 2 everyday, it totally messes up my period and i will get my period at the most random times, even when i was not on the placebo week. i remember when i first started it i got my period every other week (lasting 4-5 days each time), but that went away."
