"this is the only birth control i have ever used. i have been on it for about 10 months, and it&#039;s great. for the first month or two i noticed a slight weight gain (6 lbs), but i was able to lose it once my body got used to the pill. my breasts grew almost a full cup size (went from a large c to a comfortable d). they were also incredibly tender and sore, but this passed after about a month. i was extremely moody and always craved chocolate. overall, it was like pms for about 1 month, then everything went back to normal. i no longer bleed each month, it&#039;s more like occasional spotting for a few days. i would definitely recommend this birth control, but it is expensive without insurance."
