"i&#039;ve been on this birth control for about three weeks now, going into my second cycle. i so far have not experienced any side effects that i know of. the first week i had a few intense headaches, but there was also a major weather fluctuation where i live, so i can&#039;t say for sure what was the cause. otherwise, no migraines, spotting, nausea, or muscle pain. i have actually been losing weight since i started the pill, but i would like to think it&#039;s my healthy lifestyle doing the work. 
contraceptive wise, still not pregnant, so that&#039;s fine. 

for long term benefits risks i.e.: acne, hair loss i cannot say much. my skin is more or less the same. i have moderate to slight acne, so it may not even be hormonal. so far, so good."
