birth control
"I was on this pill for a year and it was my first birth control, so I wasn't sure what side effects to expect. My periods were about 2 weeks every month (mostly spotty but still had to wear a pad or tampon- annoying!). I had very low sex drive. My skin felt so oily and my chin felt almost like it was bloated. I got big cystic acne on my chin and my forehead regularly- I never had acne as a teenager at all! I loved my period week because my skin cleared up slightly and when it came time to take the pills again on Sunday I could feel it in my face the next day. I've only been on a different type of pill for 3 days but I cannot believe how much better I feel overall."
