"it&#039;s been 2 years, i spotted for almost six weeks straight on the first pack until i had the first period. i gained about 10 lbs but most of it was in my chest. i&#039;m just now getting back to my &quot;normal&quot; weight, which also means my breasts are doing back down. periods are really light, the last two packs nonexistent. if i&#039;m not careful to take them at around the same time, i will get cramping and sometimes spotting. if the spotting doesn&#039;t stop within a few days,  i stop taking the pack for a week and have a period and then start the pack again. overall i love it, though i have noticed increased night sweats but don&#039;t know for sure it&#039;s related."
