"i&#039;ve been on this for a little over 2 years. i was very emotionally unstable before, and asked to be switched to one that doesn&#039;t alter moods so they chose this one. my period comes the same time every month and no more cramps! i had terrible cramps the whole first day i started, no matter what i did. now they&#039;re nonexistent!  and i finally feel like myself again. i recently gained weight but not due to the birth control. it&#039;s a great choice for me!!"
