"this is the only birth control pill that&#039;s been effective for me; i tried around 4 other pills before i discovered this one. no breakthrough bleeding (one of the biggest problems i had with the other pills) and it&#039;s made my periods so much lighter (i used to bleed through tampons and pads and now my period is way lighter). i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant so i guess it&#039;s also doing what it&#039;s supposed to do, lol. another bonus: i used to get painful cystic acne on my chin whenever it was my time of the month, and since beginning this pill i haven&#039;t had to deal with any acne whatsoever! the only problem i have with it is that i cry a bit more than i used to, but i don&#039;t really mind."
