"this pill does the job. i had been on it for 3 years, very sexually active and had never been pregnant. when i got married though (2 yrs ago) having a man there to notice every mood you are in and when things bother you he made me realize what a complete mess i was when i was taking the pill. i would get ovarian cysts (in and out of the er for them). i passed out a lot from nausea and dizziness. headaches were chronic and i was super moody. my periods were pretty regular but they were heavy and long. i broke out a lot and was super bloated when on it. all birth control pill side effects vary from person to person and their body types. so don&#039;t go off this alone, but at least give your body 3-4 months to adapt to the birth control pill and document daily how you are feeling."
