"i am 24 and i have been taking trinessa for almost a month. i have nice skin as it is but this birth control has helped with the normal small breakouts that we all get. i have noticed my skin &quot;glows&quot; more now. on the down side, i felt nauseous every day for the first week. i couldn&#039;t eat because i felt so sick. i have cramps and feel bloated. i haven&#039;t gained any weight that i have noticed. i have had lower back pain and more cravings for food. but, my sex drive is through the roof which i can&#039;t complain about. overall, i hope the sickness goes away. if i didn&#039;t know i was on the pill, i&#039;d think i was pregnant."
