"i gave levora a 5 out of 10 only because for the the five years i&#039;ve been taking it, it has served its purpose. i have not become pregnant, i&#039;ve had lighter, shorter periods, no acne (but this was never a problem for me) and only minimal weight gain. other than that i have to agree with most of the other reviews on this page that my sex drive has decreased significantly and i have become overly emotional. i started taking the pill right out of college soon after i met my husband (before we were married). before the pill i had no issues with sex, dryness, desire, etc. but we&#039;ve been struggling with it for the 5 years we&#039;ve been together. after i finish this month&#039;s pills, i will be trying a new pill.
