"i have been on apri for 4 months, i&#039;m 20 years old. this is my 5th overall birth control but the best yet. i have had some over emotional moments or as i call them &quot;birth control&quot; cries but nothing terrible. my appetite isn&#039;t out of control, on my period though is another story. on this particular pill my period in much longer, around 8-10 days. sex drive is pretty normal, and weight gain has not been out of control, as long as i watch my diet and get my steps in every day i stay in the 120-130 range."
