"been taking apri for 3 months; first 2 periods were fine no cramps, pretty normal. my last period i had was the worst period i ever had. was extremely heavy, no cramps but the heaviest period i&#039;ve ever had. my boyfriend says he&#039;s noticed changes in my mood, i&#039;m very irritable and sad all the time. i feel bloated all the time, i&#039;ve gained weight in my face and stomach. my acne seems to be the same few break outs here and there. some days i have a very low sex drive, some days very high. overall it works, just makes you feel super insecure. was doing fine for years without birth control i think i&#039;ll be fine for another few years without it."
