"i had never been on birth control before so i was super nervous when i got married to start taking it. i read all the reviews, the horror stories and success stories and it seems to me everyones body takes the pill differently. i have been on the pill for a year now. the first month was aggravating was very nauseous had a lot of extra bleeding, but now my body is use to it and i feel no side effects i take it at night before bed on a full stomach. my periods are regular (granted i have always had a regular period) my acne and weight have stayed the same. the only thing i feel is different is during that time of month i am even more moody. no pregnancy or pregnancy scares even with missing a few pills"
