"i found that so far, this birth control has been right for me. i think the key is taking it as soon as you wake up (easiest for me since i&#039;m up at the same time daily). i did notice that i had a break out during this first month. seemed to have eased my cramps when it came to my period. i still don&#039;t have unprotected sex , so i&#039;m not sure of its effectiveness against pregnancy within my body. it&#039;s cheap. that&#039;s a huge plus, 8 dollars a month with my insurance. i also notice that it made my breasts hurt tremendously during the first few weeks . there are some side effects that come with this medication but i can deal with that instead of worrying about pregnancy. i would recommend others trying it just to see how it works with your body :)"
