"i haven&#039;t been taking the pill for years, so i am no expert, but so far i have experienced a more controllable period, tender and growing breasts, even skin tone and weird mood swings in the beginning. my period used to be extremely heavy and lasted exactly 7 days long each month, but after starting it was unbelievably light (i was so surprised) and 5 days long. it starts 2 days after starting the pink pills in the package. my breasts have definitely grown, and are a tad tender but doesn&#039;t bother me at all, along with my other womanly aspects have been emphasized. my skin is manageable, it was before i started the pill also. my mood swings are a little uncontrollable though.
