"if you don&#039;t want to get pregnant, then this birth control works just fine. downsides for me: longer periods. i was bloated for a good 2 months. i read to try and stick it out for 3 months and bloating would subside, and for the most part it did. last but not least, and for me the worst, the cystic acne!! uggghh i haven&#039;t have acne in 3 yrs and as soon, as soon! as i switched to this bc i started getting them all over, with cystic ones mainly on my jaw line. i absolutely hate it and will be switching bc this week!!!"
