"i&#039;ve been on this for a week (which i know isn&#039;t a long time but hear me out lol). i have not really experienced negative side effects at all. i waited to start it on the first day of my period to ensure that i wasn&#039;t pregnant and my period went on and cleared up as normal and expected. maybe just a tiny bit of bloating at times. i went on the mini pill because my body can not process estrogen at all. immediately, i get horrible mood dives, i get painful cramps in my legs and arms from the high cortisol estrogen was causing me. in fact, on this pill my mood seems to have taken a turn for the better, i have more energy to do things and feel more mentally stable! don&#039;t be scared off by reviews or discouraged from finding, everyone&#039;s different"
