"i&#039;m a 19 year old girl who after a pregnancy scare, decided to go on birth control. i was nervous getting back on it since i was on b-yaz before and it was horrible for me. i got on this in late march and i haven&#039;t had much issue at all. i have diagnosed depression and anxiety, and haven&#039;t had an issue with it getting any worse. i have gained a little weight, but it&#039;s probably my eating habits and not the pill. my periods are one day of spotting, two regular days (only have to change my pad every 8 hours really) and another 2 days where i just wear a liner. my husband and i have been having completely unprotected sex except for the pill since, and have had no issues with the protection. cramps are almost non-existent. been great."
