"hey all. i began this birth control around november. insertion was awful; i threw up and passed out. it depends on the person though! i&#039;m not a huge fan of this birth control. it made intercourse painful in certain positions. it did increase my sex drive a lot though. my skin is now a disaster, i&#039;m pretty sad about that. i&#039;m excessively tired all the time. i&#039;ve gained 30 pounds out of the blue. i dunno guys, this birth control just wasn&#039;t for me and i&#039;m switching back to the pill."
