"i first started taking birth control around age 15. when i first took gianvi, i experienced nausea, headaches, and dizziness. i was on it for about 5 months then i decided to stop. around the age of 17, i decided to get back on the pill. this time i was prescribed lo loestrin fe. worst mistake ever! so i told my doctor to switch me back to gianvi because i was familiar with it. the second time around i loved it! my periods were back to normal, no more mood swings and my appetite was back to normal. and as for the symptoms i just eat before i take the pill and it makes me feel better! i would recommend this to anyone!"
