"although i have been on this birth control for less than a week, i&#039;m already seeing results! i have had acne for years, and it wasn&#039;t until i started birth control when i noticed how much it has been helping my skin. i have been told i look thinner, but i&#039;m not sure if that&#039;s just from exercising.  i have had strange back pains, as if it was period cramps, but other than that, i&#039;ve had no side effects.  great first medicine to be on, and i recommend it to anyone first trying out birth control!"
