"i have been taking the pill for about 5 months and i&#039;ve noticed a few things. pros: i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant!! my periods are 4 days on the dot and i don&#039;t have any acne or cramping. cons: i&#039;ve always cried easily but now i cry at least once a day if not more. i am irritable and can get extremely angry very easily and i used to be a very easy going person. my period doesn&#039;t start until my 3rd or 4th placebo pill. i get nauseated in cars if i am not the driver. i crave weird food that i never usually eat and i&#039;m exhausted all the time."
