"i&#039;ve tried several different birth control brands since i was 18 (i&#039;m 25 now; taking it to prevent pregnancy) and generess has been my favorite! i use to suffer from migraines, horrible acne, and cysts in my breasts because most estrogen/hormone levels were too high in other pills, but generess is so low that it has solved all those issues. i noticed a little nausea at first. i&#039;ve been on the pill for 6 months or so. i did notice a small weight gain - 5 lbs is all. i&#039;m writing this because for the first time since i&#039;ve been using generess, i barely had a period this past month and it kind of scared me. but now reading about the pill and other womens experiences i&#039;m realizing that this pill can make your periods almost non-existent. phew.
