"although this product does work in preventing pregnancy, i have had a few issues with it. i have significantly gained weight in a short period of time (about 10lbs) and my sex drive is slim to none. my cramps are worse than they were when i was not on birth control. if i took the pill an hour or two later than normal i would spot and i was spotting all month long because of this. i also believe my hair is thinning.

you have to consider my age, i am 21. at this time as a woman my body is changing (metabolism, hormones). my timeline may be a cause to these problems. i have been taking this birth control since i was 15. as of a year ago i have been having the issues with sex drive and weight gain."
