"i&#039;ve been on this medication for about 3 months and so far have had no negative side effects (with the exception of some fatigue)! my acne is clearing up, it&#039;s an effective contraceptive, and, to my surprise, i&#039;ve actually lost weight. also, my periods are well regulated and much shorter. i switched from the depo-provera shot and have been so happy on this pill since."
