"i was on this birth control for over a year. it worked great for me. no pregnancy, regulated my period and clear up my acne. only down side i gain 15 pounds even after eating healthy and exercising 5 times a week. i got off it  6 months ago to see if the weight gain was because of the pill and sure enough it was. i&#039;ve lost all the weight i&#039;ve gained, but it took some times and effort. it&#039;s a great product, just don&#039;t like the weight gain."
