"i actually like this birth control. i was on othro cyclen lo and it gave me horrible mood swings, only problem with this birth control was when i first started it i did throw up alot for no reason but i have been on it for 6 months and i love it, but i am switching to the nuvaring because i can&#039;t remember to take the pill. the first time i went on this pill i gained 8 pounds in a month than i went off of it for a few months lost all the weight. second time i went on i gained 9 pounds. i&#039;m not complaining because i did want to gain weight. i started off at 104 and i want to be 118 this pill does make you hungry and if you didn&#039;t eat you might get sick. i got very moody a week before my period but overall i love this pill."
