"i&#039;ve taken this pill for a little over 2 years. i really liked the pill when i was single (mainly took it for cramping and lighter periods). it didn&#039;t break me out, cause me to gain weight, or have any mood swings. however once i got into a relationship, i noticed a very significant negative side effect (for me). i realized having been on this pill i have no sex drive whatsoever and i&#039;m completely dry which causes pain when i&#039;m having sex. that to me caused me to want to seek an alternative birth control, which is a shame since everything else was great."
