"i have been taking this bc for 2 years now and have had a very good experience. my periods are pretty much gone and when i do have them they are very short and light. i have no gained any weight from this bc or noticed anything off mentally however i do feel very tired a lot (but i&#039;m not sure this is due to the bc). the only thing that i would say is my breast are tender all the time (which doesn&#039;t really bother me)."
