"loved this birth control, had to change because changed insurance and new insurance would not pay for it. i began taking this my freshman year of college (did gain the freshman 15- well, 17) but i assumed the weight gain was due to stress and eating taco bell and drinking. the first few months i had some problems but eventually got on some anxiety medicine and been fine ever since! i loved having my period only every 3 months. no acne. great birth control! would recommend to anyone."
