"i began taking tri- nessa to clear up my skin. i have never had perfectly clear skin, but before and during my period my skin ( including back and shoulders) would break out horribly. after only a week of the pill, i noticed my skin was very clear. i have never had such amazing skin! during my period i still get a few zits, but not bad enough to wear makeup. my period never starts until the 5th placebo,and has always been short, but i no longer cramp! my mood is stable, and i have gone up a cup size. i am stopping the pill due to a 10 pound, in three month, weight gain. i&#039;m a runner, and have always been able to maintain my weight.  i intake 2000 calories, burn a 2400/day and went from 120 to 131 in 3 months."
