"after being on depo and two different pills, my gynecologist decided to have me try this one to see if my side affects would be less severe. i mainly got on this because my bf and i wanted to stop using condoms ;) i started this only two months ago (september 2015) and it started out pretty good; no side effects. by october, me and my bf noticed that my boobs were swollen (he enjoyed that) and i am now having painful cramps every other week. now that it&#039;s november, i notice that my sex drive has decreased a little, i have terrible mood swings, and i&#039;m lethargic most of the time :(  but overall, the pill is very effective; my bf has not &quot;pulled out&quot; since i started and still no pregnancy! totally worth it if you can handle the changes."
