"first month was terrible. couldn&#039;t stop crying and i broke out terribly, which was very upsetting considering the only reason i went on birth control in the first place was because of my acne. 3rd month everything completely turned around- my acne got noticeably better. being on it for 5 months now i notice that around my period and the week before my skin is flawless.. but the first two weeks of starting the new packet i seem to breakout. maybe the hormones are too high. in terms of my period it&#039;s extremely light and i get no pmsing at all anymore, while before sometimes i couldn&#039;t go to school it was so bad."
