"i&#039;m 20 years old, started taking this pill about two months after i had my daughter. i have been on this pill for about a year now, for the first couple months i had mood swings and a week before my period i had pretty bad cramps. but, after those couple of months the cramping went away, and my periods are light, only lasting about 2-3 days. still have occasional mood swings, but other than that, no problems with weight gain, acne, hair loss or anything of the sort. this is the first birth control pill i&#039;ve ever been on, and i was cautious about how well it would work, and its been working great so far."
