"i have been on many different pills, and never had side effects until the last couple and would bleed for 2 weeks. so i went on this one to help with that. the first 2-3 weeks, i was kind of a monster. i did have 2 jobs and school with no day off, so that may not have helped. but the symptoms subsided. now, my breasts are very tender and are growing (at age 24). i haven&#039;t had other weight gain. i am loving this bc with hardly any bleeding. 4 months in, and i love it so far. just not covered by insurance. but the manufacturer has something that helps make it more affordable, the pharmacy just has to run it through a different way."
