"i love this bc. not gonna lie, the first month-3 months suck pretty bad. i was nauseous pretty much 24/7 and spotting for a while nonstop, but it&#039;s totally worth it. i naturally have chronic anxiety, but this pill never contributed to it. i actually feel like i&#039;ve calmed down quite a bit since i&#039;ve been on it. it definitely helps keep my moods in check and feel like a normal person. i only have a 4-5 day period at the end of each pack with one heavy day, usually. i got on this to regulate my periods. and i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant thus far. never gained weight, never changed my appetite, nothing. i&#039;ve never had a side effect other than the first couple of months. only bcp that didn&#039;t make me crazy!"
