"i am halfway through my first pack, and so far i love it. no bleeding or nausea. no weight gain. my gynecologist suggested i take birth control because i&#039;m a wreck when i get my period--terrible cramps that nothing helps, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue. hopefully i&#039;ll have a lighter period (my period lasts 5-7 days) when i finish the pack and no cramps, fatigue, or headaches."
