"i took this method of birth control for three years. initially i had been on lo loestrin (i loved it) but switched to this because of insurance. i loved this pill (i just recently got the nexplanon implant which is why this is past tense). i have a gastrointestinal illness so this was extremely light on my stomach and didn&#039;t affect it at all. i actually stopped having my period altogether while taking this and didn&#039;t experience any weight gain. i do recall some mood swings early on, but i believe this was from switching birth controls and not a symptom of this particular birth control. that only lasted a month or two. 



i would suggest this to anyone looking to start birth control and especially anyone who may be apprehensive about it."
