"i&#039;ve been on this birth control for a few months. i love it. the first couple of months it decreased my appetie. i don&#039;t have mood swings, which i have got with other birth control, my face is a little dry now which is fine because i had super oily skin and i have not noticed any weight gain. i love it. my only concern was not getting a period, only spotting but after reading the many reviews this must be pretty common."
