"i have been on this birth control for about 2 years now. it has made me gain over 40 pounds and increased my acne when i am on placebo pills. i am constantly depressed and eating more than when i was on other birth control pills. i am bloated and constantly having pregnancy scares. i am currently having abdominal cramps and white discharge, i have lighter and lighter periods. i do not drink or smoke, it feels there are more side effects with this type of birth control and i will take an at home pregnancy test. other than that, the next doctor&#039;s visit i will most likely change my birth control."
