"love this bc. i had tried a few when i was younger, that made me gain weight and very emotional. i stopped taking bc after that for years. well my periods were so bad that i knew i needed to try bc again to see if that would help. i love this!! the first few months while my body was adjusting i was lightly bleed for a few weeks at a time, (nothing more than a panty liner) it was annoying but i did figure that my body was just adjusting. now i have been on the pill for 6 months i get a light period (panty liner only) for 2 days and that&#039;s it. i have no side effects. i think i lost some weight because it helps my emotional pms so i dont eat as much right before my period. i dont have emotional side effects. i feel better overall i am so happy"
