"this pill has been pretty good for me. it is a lower hormones dose than the many other pills i tried before, which gave me bad side effects. i had mild nausea and headaches with this pill for the first 3 months but that&#039;s it. i have gained about 25 pounds in the 2 years i&#039;ve used it but i don&#039;t mind it as much as some other people. my sex drive has gone down a tiny bit but nothing noticeable. i have sex frequently, using this as my only protection method, and i haven&#039;t had a pregnancy scare (granted, i am very good at taking it on time). this pill isn&#039;t perfect, but its definitely the best one i&#039;ve tried!"
