"i got switched to it because with the birth control i was taking my periods were irregular. both of the months that i was on this i had two full periods, one in week 3 and one in week 4. i had mood swings and i was emotional the whole time i was on it. and the worst part is that i&#039;ve weighed the same thing for the past 10 years, and after being on this for 2 months i gained 10 pounds and after 2 and a half months of not being on any birth control i still have it. two months was way too long for me."
