"i was on this birth control for a month and a half. i experienced terrible bloating. i&#039;ve been thin my whole life, always very active and able to eat whatever i wanted. with this pill, i constantly felt tired and had to monitor what i ate so i didn&#039;t gain weight (i gained about 5 pounds, still working out although not as intense as before due to being tired, but i was eating less!) also, this pill affected my mood a lot- it was a subtle change, but then a month and a half later i realized i never had the energy to do anything. i was sad quite often. my acne didn&#039;t improve at all, if anything it made it worse. breast were tender. but, no decrease in sex drive and did prevent pregnancy."
