I started this not soley for Birth control but more to only get my period every 3 months, it worked great, but I gained close to 10 pounds in the first month, and I am a very neurotic person when it comes to my weight, I work out and eat well, so this was a huge problem for me. I am not so sure this is going to be a fair trade off for me personally.

I have been taking these pills for almost a year. Ive noticed in the last 3 months of taking this birth control I've lost interest in sex and have become more moody. However i used to have long periods and now my periods are only four to five days.

I've been on this medication for almost 3 years now, the first few months it really messed up my period (like id go a 2 weeks then have it, then 6 weeks without it). After that though I have no complaints about the medication.
