"i have been on this birth control for about 8 months. my hormones went crazy and my boyfriend agrees. it has helped prevent pregnancy, but gave me some spotting close to my periods if i maybe did not take it right on time. i like this birth control but i may try a different one. i used to be such a laid back person before this, but now i can be very moody. i did not gain any weight except for a small increase in cup size."
