"i&#039;ve never taken birth control before because i&#039;ve never been sexually active (and i&#039;m still not). i started this a few months before my wedding, and it seemed totally fine at first. i read a ton of reviews that warned of major mood swings and irritability, but i never experienced that. i also read a ton of reviews that praised this pill for helping with flawless skin, but that is not the case for me. while my chest did grow and i didn&#039;t have mood swings or weight gain, i experienced some of the most painful and humiliating acne of my life while taking it. my forehead never breaks out, but for 3 constant months it&#039;s been a war zone, as are my cheeks, chin, and brow area. i&#039;m switching to yaz. fingers crossed i clear up before the big day."
