"please note this is the only birth control pill i have taken. i started this pill due to periods that lasted two weeks out of the month and resulted in terrible migraines and anemia. due to the fact that i started this pill at 15 years of age, i&#039;m not sure if it has impacted my mood. though when i took a year break, my hormones were completely off balanced - which is what led to me to return to the pill. after a year of use, this pill made my periods non-existent. i was told not to worry about this since it&#039;s a normal thing for women on this pill to experience if they&#039;re in a lower weight range. i gained perhaps 5-15 lbs on this pill but that also could&#039;ve just been from growing (i&#039;ve been on it for years)."
