"i spotted for a few weeks at first, but it never happened again. i had short, 2 or 3 day periods, only minor cramps, no nausea--a huge one for me because i have a sensitive stomach, no moodiness, no weight gain. it was almost like not being on the pill at all, except that i immediately noticed that my generally clear skin was breaking out like crazy with really painful cystic acne. i assumed it was just an initial breakout and tried to wait it out, but i just recently quit after 4 months because i couldn&#039;t handle the horrible acne. i did a lot of research and it&#039;s progesterone is very androgenic and is known to cause acne. it&#039;s a shame because otherwise, it was perfect. because that was my only side effect, i&#039;d still recommend it though."
