"so i started on this medication about a year ago, and it&#039;s been a pretty good expirence up until recently. my skin has always been great and i haven&#039;t gained any weight. i had spotting and light cramps every 2 weeks for about 5 months after i started taking it, but then all of a sudden the bleeding became irregular and has been ever since. now i almost always have breast tenderness that starts up to 2 weeks before i&#039;m set to take the placebos, and this is incredibly uncomfortable. the worst part, however, is that this bc has completely destroyed my sex drive. i hardly ever feel like having sex anymore, and when i do i wind up crying uncontrollably during or after. it&#039;s super gross, but i&#039;m too afraid of side effects to try a different bc."
