"i have been on this pill for about three months now. it&#039;s my first type of birth control i&#039;ve ever taken so i have nothing to compare it to. the first two months, symptom wise, were horrid. i got extreme mood swings, horrid acne (my skin has always been clear), weight gain, and tender breasts. after the two months, however, the symptoms went completely away. i did have irregular periods before but now they come at the exact time thanks to this pill. that&#039;s why i gave it 5 stars."
