"i am 20, and have been using this birth control a little over a year. it is my first birth control pill. effective at preventing pregnancy but that&#039;s the only plus. overall i think it&#039;s an okay pill, but i wouldn&#039;t say it&#039;s the best. it takes about three months to adjust to it, and taking it at night helps with the nausea and headaches you may experience. i have gained 15 pounds while on the pill, which is very disappointing because my diet is better now than it was before and i&#039;ve always been very active and attend the gym. the weight is hard for me to shed now..it&#039;s frustrating. my periods are normal for the most part, but sometimes they come a little later and carry over when i&#039;m back on active pills.
