"this is my first birth control i have ever taken. i am 28. i am on it due to severe endometriosis. i am on my 4th pack in the first week in. my periods went from having severe bleeding with large clots, and mucus for 8 days, to now having lighter period with few clots for 5-6 days. i noticed the first packet i was nauseous. i don&#039;t have much of an appetite, and i haven&#039;t gained weight in fact it helped the severe bloating i had. my hormones before were horrible i was severely depressed, and cried every night. now i don&#039;t cry and am more happy. i noticed my breasts are tender everyday though more so when i have my period. i still get a little moody on my period, but it is manageable. it also helped my pelvic pain a bit from the endometriosis"
