"i started taking zovia about 5 months ago and i could immediately tell the difference after the 1st month. i started gaining weight, my breasts got even bigger than they already were and they were constantly tender, my periods went from 3-4 days to 7-9 days with horrible cramps, my face became very oily and i started breaking out. i have never had a lot of acne or breakouts but after starting this birth control, it got bad. i have been an emotional wreck and cry all of the time and i&#039;m normally not like that. i think i had every bad side effect a birth control can have so needless to say, my ob has called in a different birth control! hopefully if you decide to use this birth control, you don&#039;t have any of the side effects like i have."
