"zarah is officially my favorite birth control i&#039;ve tried. other pills and the nuvaring gave me very bad side effects (acne, moodiness, weight gain), but i&#039;ve been taking zarah now for almost 3 months and i&#039;ve experienced no bad side effects. it has only enhanced my life! my periods are now much shorter (3-4 days long) and lighter, my skin has been clearer than usual, and since taking zarah i have had absolutely no period cramps, which i used to get very badly. this pill also doesn&#039;t affect my mood or weight. when i was on nuvaring, my emotions immediately went crazy and i felt paranoid about everything, so i am very glad to have found something that doesn&#039;t turn me into an emotional wreck! love zarah, can&#039;t say a bad thing about it."
