"i have never had a negative reaction to birth control pills. i&#039;ve never gained weight, felt bloated, had acne, or anything until taking aubra. over the last 6 years, i&#039;ve tried at least 7 different pills and this is by far the worst. yes, it keeps me from getting pregnant and keeps me from having a period. however, since taking it, it seems like i have developed ibs. it is not agreeing with my body. i constantly have to go to the bathroom and get woken up at 2am with that burning stomach pain before i&#039;m forced to rush to the toilet. i&#039;ve gained a little weight, but my belly is so bloated like i&#039;m 4 months prego. lasty, my face has broken out. i&#039;ve always loved bc pills, but this brand is terrible!! hope you guys have better luck w/ aubra."
