"severe constipation started within 2 days after i started this pill (had been on low ovral for years prior, but currently unavailable),  acne followed, and now 5lb weight gain in past 3 weeks.   the stomach craps are so painful (constipation-related) that i am completely distracted throughout the day,  every day now.  i cannot wait to finish cycle and move on to another pill.  i&#039;ve taken many different types of pills in the past 20 years...never had a single issue of any sort until this one."
