"i love this birth control pill. it&#039;s my second month on, and i haven&#039;t had trouble with any negative side effects. i used to have horrible periods (horrible cramps, puking, the whole nine yards) but now there&#039;s only light cramping on the first day. shorter, lighter period for sure. i haven&#039;t gained any weight- if at all, i&#039;ve lost a few pounds. i used to have some trouble with breakouts, but my skin is clear as can be now. the only thing i&#039;ve noticed is i&#039;m a bit moodier, but i don&#039;t want blame that on kariva since my relationship&#039;s going through a rough patch. everyone&#039;s different, but kariva definitely worked amazingly for me."
