"i&#039;m 15 and have been using this birth control for about 3 months now. i find it amazing! there is some spotting but its okay. as for weight gain, i gained 5 pounds and on a girl who&#039;s 5&#039;1 it looks like a lot. i never had acne ever and when i started the pill i had oily skin and acne. there are side effects but this pill is amazing and recommend it to everyone."
