"have had a very good experience with apri! it&#039;s the first birth control i&#039;ve been on and it&#039;s been about 9 months now. it&#039;s regulated my periods so i can predict it down to the hour, they&#039;re less painful, i feel less nausea, and they&#039;re much shorter and lighter! i haven&#039;t gained any weight - just fluxed a bit up and down a few pounds. overall - really good!"
