"i gave it a two star because while it was the worst birth control ever.. i didn&#039;t get pregnant. i guess it did its job.

the side effects are simply not worth it.

within the first week, i was breaking out more than i did when i was going through puberty.. and not just the small pimples. i&#039;m talking painful, cystic acne. my cramps were amplified x5, i had the worst pms, and the tenderness of my breasts was almost unbearable. i couldn&#039;t even sleep comfortably. i thought it would go away once my body adjusted. no.

i got off of it and notice all my symptoms had vanished.

i started using my old birth control again (which i stopped using because it caused me to bloat a lot) but i would rather bloat than feel what i felt on lo loestrin."
