"i&#039;m a 18 year old for anyone who wants a teenager&#039;s perspective of this pill. this is a very good birth control and i haven&#039;t had any crazy side affects. i just finished my first pack and waiting for my next one. the only issue i have so far was starting my period over a week early, but it was a very light period which was good. and also i&#039;ve been having dark discharge a little over a week but it is said to be normal within the first 1-3 months of taking this pill. other than that i feel very normal and i haven&#039;t seen much of a change with my body besides the early light period. younger women taking this pill will probably have less side affects than older women and i haven&#039;t seen any reviews for girls around my age so i hope this helps."
