"this is my 6th month on generess fe. i&#039;m 22. it&#039;s the first time i started taking the pill. the first 4 months i had some spotting and headaches(only the first 2 months), periods were a bit painful. since month 5 and now 6 i feel absolutely fine, no spotting at all, ok periods lasting about 3 days. and i definitely have not put on any weight. i even feel like i lost some since i started taking the pill!! i am regular weight and definitely somebody who does put on weight. so of course i know it works differently for everybody, but don&#039;t be scared of the weight gain myth, i really didn&#039;t notice any problems with that. i don&#039;t have any long term experience, but so far i am happy with generess fe."
