"this is the first birth control pill i ever took. i was on it for 3 years and overall it was a very good experience. it helped clear up my acne, although during stressful times i still would get some small breakouts. my periods were much lighter, i didn&#039;t gain any weight, in fact, i lost 20 lb which was nice. i never got pregnant. my only complaint is that it did kill my sex drive, which was annoying. i&#039;m about to start trinessa to see if this remedies the problem, but if trinessa ends up being problematic, i will definitely switch back to lutera."
