"i think this really goes to show that birth control effects different bodies in very different ways. i love this birth control. i have been on several (3) other birth controls and not one of them have ever been this reliable. i get my period every month on the same day almost down to the hour. i haven&#039;t gained any weight and i don&#039;t have side effects. i absolutely know i can depend on this pill and i wouldn&#039;t take anything else."
