"safyral has been a great birth control pill for me. i lost water weight from my previous birth control plus some, skin is clear, no unusual mood swings. my only complaints about it is from 2 days before my period until 3 days into it is i get a bit of stomach bloat and my left ankle tends to get sore and swollen when on my feet too long. sometimes i crave sweets at certain times of the month. the pill is more expensive, but a great birth control pill. i highly recommend it."
