"didn&#039;t trigger my regular migraines, great birth control to start on and it&#039;s effective! lo made me breakthrough bleed so i started on regular 28 cycle and no problems, until i went off of it. i started birth control at 115 pounds and ended it at 132 pounds. though i am petite, it&#039;s not a huge weight gain nor is it noticeable. my acne and oily skin came back, and i am very irritable(pms). cramping on my period is very painful so i&#039;ll be going back on birth control, this time trying seasonique."
