"i have tried  yaz, nuvaring, paraguard iud, and other pills. this is the only pill that i have little to no side effects. normally i become emotional and gain weight on birth control. i have been on this for 9 months and have lost 15 lbs (because of a healthier lifestyle). my skin hasn&#039;t broken out, though i am not sure this pill will help if you have acne (i took accutane before going on this pill). my period is fairly regular. that&#039;s my only complaint. i had one month where i got my period 3 times. overall i would definitely recommend this pill. also even if you&#039;re a big woman, this pill with lower dose of hormones can work for you. i&#039;m 5&#039;11&quot; and 165 lbs! try it!"
