"i&#039;ve been using trinessa for about 7 months, and it&#039;s been a roller-coaster of an experience. as i continue to take this medication, my periods have become lighter and shorter, but at the same time, i still have cramps and abdomen pains for all 7 days. i have only noticed my acne getting worse, but the medication is inexpensive and effective, so i can&#039;t complain too much."
