"i&#039;ve been taking this medication for a one week, 2 days now. i was scared to take it at first because i have never taken an oral contraceptive before. i was on the patch and it was a nightmare. but this medication sits pretty well with me. i get a little nausea from time to time but nothing major. occasionally a headache and mild cramps. (these symptoms aren&#039;t normal for me so that&#039;s how i know its the medication). i&#039;ve also have my period for as long as i been taking it but it&#039;s very light. hopefully my body will get used to it soon. oh and i haven&#039;t any mood swings."
