"i used the pill for 1 month and 9 days. i did not get my period the first month. but had cramps for weeks, which was the reason for beginning this pill in the first place. i gained 10 pounds, then lost it the week i was off, then gained it back again after the first 7 days of the 2nd pack. i had no interest in doing anything. i would be angry or i would cry. i cried everyday, for no reason. when i would cry hysterically for hours at a time is when i threw them in the garbage. i know they say it takes 3 months to get regulated, it is just not worth it. i would rather feel happy, then hinder cramp pain which only lasted a few days anyways."
