My boobs definitely got bigger. I didnt gain much weight. If anything, I just stopped working out or doing active activities. But I dont blame the pills. Its very effective. I dont get dizzy or feel like throwing up. This bill is pretty good. i've been using it for four years now. I feel like if you gain weight, try working out or use food portion control. cause medications do effect ppl different

I started taking this back in January of 09. After 3 failed attempts at other pills, this pill was awesome at first. I dropped a ton of weight and my boobs got huge!

I don't know what to do...I'm afraid

I have horrible side effects like, nausea, uncontrollable vomiting, blackouts, hot flashes, stomach pain. But on the bright side I've lost 15 pounds, due to loss of appetite unfortunately. I've had not so good of an experience with this bc pill, although no children!

I started Cyclessa after I developed spotting after a year on my old oral birth control. The first few weeks were ok, although I continued to have spotting. The 3rd week of the pills I began to have horrible PMS (which I never have), very painful cramps, and migraine headaches. My period lasted more than 8 days. Then the 2nd month my libido went away, I started having really strange dreams, and CR
