birth control
"I finished up my first pack of Generess a week ago, and it's my first birth control pill. I know you're supposed to take it for three months before the side effects go away, but I couldn't resist reviewing. 

It's effective--I'm not pregnant and have regular sex. However, the side effects aren't great. The 1st week was ok, just some loose stool after Day 1. By the time I got halfway through the second week, I had (sometimes heavy) spotting that went on for 1.5 weeks STRAIGHT. I'm not a  fan of having sex while bleeding, so it was frustrating. Also, my moods swing like a pendulum. I'll go from happy to raging in ten seconds. My face breaks out more now, and I also find I'm eating A LOT more than usual. The side effects are dwindling, though, so I'm happy!"
