"the 1st 2 weeks of being on apri, my appetite increased. i was hungry all the time. but after the 2 weeks my appetite went back to normal. i gained maybe 5 lbs. i didn&#039;t get any acne. my periods have always been heavy and i went on birth control for them to get lighter but this pill did nothing. my periods were still heavy and i got bad cramps. it did what its supposed to do and that was prevent pregnancy. i liked apri overall."
