"i started taking this birth contol 4 days ago for contraceptive purposes, however i have had terrible cystic acne for the last 3 years of adulthood and its all cleared up. not to even to mention, i have lost nine pounds in 4 days and have had absolutely no side effects. i have taken several types of birth controls and have had awful side effects. i am hoping to continue liking this pill! so far, so good!"
