"i was put onto apri because i had horrible cramps and long heavy periods. i took it for about six months, and around the 5 month mark, my longtime boyfriend and i broke up. he told me it was because i was &quot;too emotional&quot; and stressed him out. he was right, before apri i was always happy and relaxed, but on it. i would lie in bed at night and cry sometimes for no reason at all. i had constant fatigue, frequent headaches, mood-swings, moodiness, and felt depressed a lot of the time. after a conversation with my boyfriend, i realized that we began to argue about the time i got onto apri. i went to my doctor and told her this and she told me that this was because its high levels of progesterone. i switched and am much better now without apri."
