"i have finished my first packed of this birth control and honestly haven&#039;t really had any side effects. i was afraid at first of starting because of all the reviews i&#039;ve read online about the mood swings and such but i haven&#039;t experienced any. the only side effect i did notice was random spotting (bleeding). it&#039;s not a lot though. overall so far i am pleased with this birth control, this is actually my first birth control i am taking. by the way i am 18 years old."
