"this is my first birth control. when i first got on, i got acne really bad on the side of my face and also i got cramps really bad. but now about 3 months later, that does not happen anymore and it keeps my face pretty clear, except when my period is about to start, i sometimes get a pimple or two. but what i did notice is that i have really really bad mood swings every time my period is about to start, i don&#039;t know why. just try it for yourself!"
