"i&#039;ve been taking generess fe for a little over six months now. i am very pleased with the pill and have not experienced any nausea, weight gain, or break outs. i  had acne before but after i started taking the pill it cleared up a lot. so far i have had a shorter and lighter period with much less cramping. i did have spotting in between periods the first couple months but that has stopped now. i&#039;m a little freaked out because my period is a lot lighter this month than it has been in the past but from the reviews that i read other people on this pill experience extremely light periods too, or no periods at all. i cannot say how well the pill works for preventing pregnancy though because i use other forms of protection too."
