"was on this pill for two years. gained about 15 pounds, had cystic acne around my periods, and my mood swings were unbelievable. i would find myself getting so angry and irritated at everyone and everything for absolutely no reason. perks were i didn&#039;t get pregnant and my periods were short and light, with no cramping. this was my 6th pill i tried and after this i gave up and switched to an iud. couldn&#039;t be happier."
