"i have been on portia for two years.  i would say overall not a bad birth control.  when i originally switched to portia it was much better than the pills i took before. i no longer got nausea after taking it like with my old pills and it cut down my period. right now i can say a bad period is three days long which isn&#039;t bad at all or it just doesn&#039;t show up which is nice. i have gained no weight from it.  my only complaint is since i started it i&#039;ve noticed i&#039;ve gone from wanting sex to having almost no interest in it and i have become dry.  my mood has been getting worse each month so i think it&#039;s time to switch to a different method."
