I was fine with this method until my breast began to hurt so bad that I could not sleep through the night. Then my period did not stop for a month. My doctor took me off of it, and now I am fine. I have no clue why my body reacted this way, but the method was fine until then

I still experience very minor hair loss

Comment:
This birth control gave me constant headaches, bloating all month and minor weight gain. It definitely increased my appetite. This all happened in the first pack. I decided to stick it out another month to see if the side effects would subside but they got worse. Overall, I was not happy with it. So I am off to find another one.
