"i didn&#039;t think there was a problem, no immediate reactions, 2 years and i&#039;d put on 1st5lb, without changing my lifestyle. my (mild) acne seemed to improve and it was great being in control of my periods. then i became moody, emotional, combative and depressed. really depressed. i had migraines at least 3 attacks a month, i had hypertension. and because i had put on so much weight i was trying to lose it, playing football 3 times a week and 2 times a week to the gym, no big difference and i ate less than my slim friends. i don&#039;t smoke. i had hypertension (185/135 being the highest reading). i stopped taking it and now i feel better, lost 10kg, happier, blood pressure is normal. now i have polycystic ovaries, i blame that pill."
