"i love this pill! i was on jolessa for 4 years and always had constant spotting and bad acne, sprintec for 4 months and had spotting and awful mood swings and periods, but ocella is absolutely perfect. i&#039;ve been on it for 3 months now and it&#039;s cleared up most of my acne, i&#039;ve had no spotting and no periods, and i&#039;ve lost 8 pounds! no mood swings, either. i would definitely recommend that anyone who is considering this pill give it a try. plus, mine is only $9 a month! for the work it does, it is awesome. i cannot speak on effectiveness for pregnancy prevention as i use it to skip periods and am not sexually active."
