"i went on this pill so that i didn&#039;t have to have my period every month, but within the first 2 weeks i gained 10 pounds. i&#039;ve been on it for 4 months now and for 2 months straight i was spotting every single day. i tried absolutely everything to lose the weight including dramatic changes and nothing has worked. i am now having a full period so i am going off the pill because it doesn&#039;t seem to be effective. my face did get better while on it, but nothing is worth the emotional unstableness and weight gain i am experiencing."
