This is my first experience with birth control of any kind. It would appear to be effective (as I am not yet pregnant) but I am not entirely sure it is worth the side effects I am experiencing. I had a clockwork period (of 4 days) prior to taking the pill, but after my first pill pack I experienced a sparatic period lasting almost 2 weeks.

This is my first experience with birth control of any kind. It would appear to be effective (as I am not yet pregnant) but I am not entirely sure it is worth the side effects I am experiencing. I had a clockwork period (of 4 days) prior to taking the pill, but after my first pill pack I experienced a sparatic period lasting almost 2 weeks. I have experience almost constant (but mild) cramping since I began taking it. I have had pretty severe mood swings as well as almost no sex drive. I have also experienced pretty horrible fatigue--I have dark circles under my eyes which have never been there and I have trouble staying awake throughout the day no matter how much sleep I get. I really hope that these side effects are temporary, because if they persist I will definitely be looking for a new method of birth control.

I am on my second pack & love it so far. It's easy to take, minty & chewy which is a plus. Cut my periods from 7 days to 4 with just the 1st pack. Took away my really painful cramps, back aches & menstrual migraines. The only thing Im not fond of is a little bit of ache & some weight gain but overall I am very pleased & will continue to take it.

Well, I'm not exactly sure if its working or not. This is my first form of north control I have ever taken so I'm not really sure what to look for. I have been really moody lately and my periods lasted the same as it always is. It's just such a small pill and when I chew it I don't feel like I'm getting enough or taking it right. At least its minty!

I have been taking this pill for about 3 weeks now and I am somewhat pleased. The pros are the lighter periods. However, it has given me acne and extremely bad headaches. I have NEVER had acne and now my face has big red bumps and scars all over it =( Not happy about that. Another thing are the horrible HORRIBLE headaches. From reading the other reviews I am not the only one experiencing this. I ... Show Full Comment

I have NEVER had acne and now my face has big red bumps and scars all over it =( Not happy about that. Another thing are the horrible HORRIBLE headaches. From reading the other reviews I am not the only one experiencing this. I have had cramping but not bad so they are ok to deal with. This will be my 4th type of birthcontrol and at this time, I have mixed emotions about this one. On the plus side, I have not had any discharge or breakthrough bleeding since I've started taking the pill.
