"when i first started taking this birth control, it was great. my periods stopped and i only had some spotting the first month or so. about two-three months in though, i felt like it made me lose my sex drive a lot and had no libido. on top of this, i noticed i had a lot of vaginal dryness - even before having sex - and this made doing anything sexual not that pleasurable. i also gained a few pounds after beginning the pill. i didn&#039;t experience any change in my acne though, as it is a possible side effect of this particular birth control."
