"i&#039;ve been on this birth control for 6 months now and love it. it cleared up my acne and my boobs have gotten so much bigger. i haven&#039;t had any weight gain. the only downside is i feel like it makes me somewhat depressed, but i am on depression meds and have been for years, so i don&#039;t see that being a problem. my boyfriend and i have regular sex and he doesn&#039;t pull out, and i&#039;m not pregnant. so the effectiveness of this is 10/10. would highly recommend :) i don&#039;t have insurance yet and i pay $60 out of pocket for it each month. it would be a lot less if you had insurance, probably around $10 a month."
