"so i&#039;ve been taking this pill for 2 months and i&#039;m torn. first off, i haven&#039;t gained any weight and i&#039;m not pregnant which is good. the cons are my moods are heightened. i&#039;m way more emotional and get annoyed/mad a lot easier and this started right away. my period lasted for a whole week last time and although it wasn&#039;t heavy i still had cramps. also, when i&#039;m on my period i get nauseous and i&#039;m not sure if that&#039;s from the birth control or just me being on my period. my boobs have grown which is another pro, but my acne has actually gotten worse. if my acne doesn&#039;t clear up by the third month i think i&#039;m going to switch because i really want clear skin... i had mild side effects- increase appetite, some cramps and mild nausea."
