"i hated this birth control. it worked as in it prevented pregnancy and it regulated my periods, but the side effects were so horrible that i had to stop taking it. 



while i was on this birth control, i gained an extra 15-20 pounds that i could not lose despite the hours in the gym and the healthy eating. i felt like i was going insane... hot flashes, extreme mood swings. the mood swings happened all of the time, not just during my period. it didn&#039;t help alleviate cramps or anything. i will never ever ever take this again."
