"i started taking gianvi about one month ago.  prior to that, i was on heather 2 years.  i was prescribed heather because i was a nursing mother.  i had bad breakouts with heather and inconsistent long periods.  after nursing, i wanted to switch to a more effective birth control.  i was prescribed apri and went for an emotional roller coaster.  i was only on apri for 2 weeks and my breakouts were worse than they have ever been.  after apri, i was switched to gianvi.  wow what a difference.  i have been on it for just shy of 1 month and my breakouts have stopped.  i have some scarring from my previous breakouts, but they are fading.  i have noticed that my mood seems to be &quot;normal.&quot;"
