"at first, i had no problems on apri. then about a month in i gained over 10 pounds even though i didn&#039;t change my diet or exercise. i also noticed that i became very moody and had random crying spells around my period, which has never happened before. my breasts are also very tender and itchy, and my acne has gotten worse. i never had bad period cramps before i started taking this pill, and now they are extremely painful. hopefully my doctor switches me to a different pill."
