"have had mine for a month with zero complaints. all i can say is don&#039;t let the reviews scare you, discuss all options with your doctor. i had made my appointment and then read reviews and freaked out. went in, discussed my fears with my doctor, and she thought i would do fine on this birth control. i live an active lifestyle and had been on the pill for 4  years. so far no period, small spotting, no weight gain, no emotional changes, or any other concerns. i&#039;m still keeping track of my weight and any other changes, but so far so good. just discuss with your doctor and choose what&#039;s right for you!"
