"this has been my very first birth control pill. i have taken it for almost an entire month and so far everything is good. what i&#039;ve noticed so far is that i&#039;m more moody/emotional, i feel hungrier than usual, my period is lighter but my cramps are still there and they&#039;ve been there everyday. they used to end around the 2nd day but i&#039;m on the 4th day and i still have cramps. i can manage cramps and a little moodiness tho, so no biggie. no weight gain so far but i work out 3-5 times a week and drink lots of water. no acne but i use proactiv because i used to get bad breakouts. my doctor said i&#039;d be protected after the first 7 days so i have had sex with a condom but it was after 2 weeks. i&#039;m pretty satisfied so far. plan to stick with it."
