"i got on this birth control when it first came in 2006 when i was 16, i was on it up until i was 22. switching was the biggest mistake ever. i loved this birth control. i never had any problems with it. lighter and shorter periods, cleared up my skin and no bloating or weight gain. the only downfall was i did get very emotional but that was it and maybe occasional breakthrough bleeding. best of all it worked for me. i am switching back to this birth control and can&#039;t wait."
