"i have been on this pill for 2 years. side effects experienced lasted about 4 months and then everything went back to normal .this included going from a c cup to d cup. eventually went back down to c. did not experience weight gain in other areas except chest. breakouts pretty bad in first 4 months, but calmed down after my body got used to it. i&#039;d recommend doing facials during this beginning period to calm the skin. i still get occasional breakouts, but nothing like the nightmare stories reading on the reviews. i&#039;d suggest sticking through it for at least 6-8 months before you throw in the towel. your body is going to react to new hormones entering your body. i get my period sometimes not at all and sometimes 2-5 days."
