birth control
"I have been on this pill for probably about 4-5 years.  My experience has been overall pretty pleasant.  I never noticed it affecting my mood or behavior and I have never felt depressed due to the pill.  I also never gained any weight or experienced acne.  My periods last about 4 days, previously before using the pill they lasted much longer.  I usually experience cramps and bloating the day before and the day I get my period.  My cramps have always been pretty bad even before I began using birth control, so I don't think it is caused by the pill.  I do recommend this pill for people who are looking to use it as a form of birth control and a way to regulate the menstrual cycle.  Unfortunately I must switch pills due to insurance coverage."
