"i have been taking this birth control for a little over a week. so far, i have experienced extreme mood swings over the past few days, slight weight gain, and breast tenderness. these all seem to be similar to other reviews. however, i am going to stick it out for a few months to see if my body gets used to the hormones. i read that it took one woman three months for her body to adapt to this birth control, so i hope i have a similar experience. however, i know that each person responds differently to any kind of drug or hormone.  oh the joys of being a woman!"
