"i started taking this as birth control about 5 months after the birth of my first child.  i am in the middle of week 7, and its not going good so far. i haven&#039;t had any weight gain yet, however, have headaches almost everyday. along with middle acne, and i&#039;ve been bleeding enough to use a tampon for about ten days. i&#039;m going to take it until the end of pack one, but being 22 with a 6 month old, attending school full time i can&#039;t handle the bleeding, headaches, and exhaustion, if they continue!"
