"i have been using generess fe for about 10 months. the first few months i had breast tenderness but that went away. i may have had some weight gain. maybe about 5 pounds, but they may be just from unhealthy eating also. i have not experienced any other bad side effects and no pregnancy. the first few months i had a normal period exactly when i should. it slowly starting decreasing in length and in heaviness. now my period is barely spotting. not even enough to wear a pad. it&#039;s easy to use since its chewable. tastes like mint. so for people that have trouble swallowing pills this is great. it can be swallowed whole as well. i haven&#039;t used any other birth control before but this has worked really well for me."
