"i was on generess fe for almost a year. 
pros: i like the pouch it comes in and the slightly minty taste. i liked that it regulated my period as i am one who sadly suffers from pcos. 
cons: made me very moody/emotional; increased hair growth around chest and stomach areas; increased appetite and weight gain. 

it was my first bcp and i was too scared to switch over to another pill because i figured i rather learn to deal with the mood swings than risk a different bcp with worse side effects. i don&#039;t recommend doing that. i think it&#039;s good to give a pill a couple of months shot to allow the body to get used to it but after that, if you have really clear negative effects then switch to another."
