"i&#039;ve been on this medication for 3 months now, so my body is used to it. the only problem i experienced in the first month was breakthrough bleeding or spotting around the 2nd to 3rd week of the pills. my physician told me this might occur if i didn&#039;t wait until my next period to start it (which i didn&#039;t). other than that i have no experienced any other symptoms. the pills have made my period a lot lighter and my cramps less severe. they also regulated my extremely irregular period! they haven&#039;t cause any weight gain, which seems to be a big concern for people when looking for a pill to try. i&#039;ve actually been losing weight (with diet and exercise) with no added trouble due to the pill. my skin has cleared up great too!"
