"i have been on 3 different types of birth control since i was 15, i am now 21 and i wanted to be able to skip my periods so my doctor put me on marlissa and then they discontinued so i got switched to portia.. i was only on portia for just a month and i hated it!! i wa every moody and felt sad.. i was hungry and it made me very very bloated.. i was getting bad migraines as well. the worst was when i got my period.. it started off not normal than what it usually is for me and it was the worst cramps i have ever experienced! i suggest to try a different birth control like tri-sprintec or tri-linyah (which i am now on)"
