birth control
"I've been on Trinessa for years as the generic to OrthotriCyclin.  It was free compared to the expensive version.   I have not noticed issues with this pill at all,  at least not that are very noticeable.   I think the mood swings and emotional distress others are mentioning would happen with or without any BCP because of PMS.  My skin breaks out only the week before my cycle starts, but nothing crazy.   I don't have breast tenderness,  cramps or discomfort either.   The periods are light and painless as well.   I do notice the bloat like clockwork a week prior to the period,  but it is what it is.   I have not gotten pregnant while on the pill though my guy and I are highly fertile, so it's obviously working.   Overall I'm happy with it."
