"this is the only birth control i&#039;ve been on that has stopped my breakthrough bleeding due to it being the highest dose possible.  i have gained 20 pounds while on it (but honestly i needed to gain weight anyway) and to my surprise have larger breasts (which is not so bad either).  i do get occasional migraines with this pill and slight mood swings, but over time it has gotten better, just think the body has to become used to it.  i highly recommend it if you are experiencing breakthrough bleeding, it truely has been a lifesaver in that aspect.  when i went from 3 weeks of bleeding to the normal 1 week, well worth the occasional migraine or mood swing."
