"this birth control did prevent me from getting pregnant which is the main concern. however, i have never bled so much in my life. i am someone that has always had perfect periods without birth control. i went from that to bleeding three weeks out of the month and it never would stop. it wasn&#039;t necessarily heavy bleeding, but it is very aggravating to bleed constantly. this medicine also made me have acne and i normally have very clear skin. it made me have mood swings that my husband noticed. he even asked me when his nice wife was coming back. i decided after giving this three months to go to a permanent birth control method.
