"i started this pill before i went off to college and it is an absolute godsend!! after the first couple of months of spotting both the second and fourth weeks i haven&#039;t gotten my period since. i have had no weight gain and only increases in acne when i am extremely stressed. i also have some spotting during the active weeks if i am stressed. i have been taking this pill for about a year and a half and i absolutely love it!!! i highly recommend."
