"i had very irregular periods, so my doctor put me on this pill to help regulate them. my periods come like clockwork now, which is very nice considering i&#039;ve never had that. they haven&#039;t become lighter or shorter in length, which i was hoping for. they are still 6-7 days with heavy flow and lots of cramping. my acne has also increased a lot. i had some acne before taking the pill, but this is the deep kind that can take weeks to heal, which i rarely got before. i also have been pretty emotional since starting it, but i won&#039;t entirely place blame on this pill as i stay pretty stressed regardless, but i think it could be related. i&#039;m going to switch soon most likely."
