"i have been on loryna for 6 years now. i also have been on birth control since i was 17 and now 26, with no breaks. i have no periods ever or spotting. my face is clear normally. no weight gain at all, i lose weight more than gain. i have read mixed reviews about this birth control, it can be good or bad. i have had no problems with the pill unless i forget to take it one day then i may breakout with pimples.  i enjoy this birth control due to no problems. i recommend trying it, if it does not work get off of it. most birth controls are not good for you anyways its not healthy, but being a woman we all need it for many different reasons."
