"stop reading into birth control so much ! everyone is different and it is all about trial and error based on your needs, your body, you. i am 23 years old and have never tried birth control pills. my hormones were off and i was getting hormonal breakouts around my chin along with abnormal menstrual cycle. i was skeptical about starting to use the pill because i want a natural period and i feel like my body will respond the way it needs to without meds, but sometimes you need help getting back on track after stress, etc.i have noticed a huge change the first two weeks i was just emotional but that was expected. i cried for silly reasons but laughed it off. overall it is doing its job. i feel better all around."
