"i&#039;ve been on multiple different bc pills because i always end up getting breakthrough bleeding after 8 months or so. this pill i&#039;ve been on the longest 2 years and i just started experiencing the breakthrough bleeding 4 months ago. it would start around my second week of pills and i would begin with all the pms symptom first.. swollen breast, bloating, mood swings... then i would have spotting for a day or two.  the spotting would go away but the pms symptoms would stay until i got my period at the scheduled time. so the bloating and swollen, tender breast for 3 weeks out of the month got old so my doctor switched me to aleese. i&#039;ve yet to try it. but over all i didn&#039;t have a bad experience with cryselle. i would highly recommend it."
