"this birth control had its pros and its cons. with this birth control, i knew exactly when i would start my period and what day i would get off my period. it was like clockwork that never seemed to fail. my period was a tad shorter and it was definitely lighter overall (aside from the first day). this bc didn&#039;t do much for my cramps. i didn&#039;t have any side effects such as moodiness or weight gain, that i seemed to notice. my reason for getting off this bc though is because it made me breakout like crazy. before, i rarely had so much as a pimple. with this bc, i didn&#039;t feel comfortable going out without makeup because my complexion got so bad."
