"i have been on this pill for 3.5 years and it is my favorite thing ever. my periods are extremely light, i almost never have cramps or mood swings, and the only weight gain i experienced was welcome and came in the form of a cup size. i haven&#039;t had any problems during that time of the month or otherwise and overall, i think this is just a very nice, happy pill. i always use condoms because i&#039;m paranoid but i&#039;m scare-free also!"
