Comment:
I am very depressed in the first place but this b.c. only seemed to make it worse. I had no desire for sex. It made me gain weight; towards the end of the month, I was eating everything in sight. As a person with hirsutism, though, it lightened up my facial and body hair texture. Would recommend if you want a middle ground.

Comment:
I have been using these pills for 4 months now and they have been great until now. My period regulated to the same day every month, used to be very heavy and would last for a whole week, now they are light and only last a couple days. Cramp pain is gone and have had no side effects yet, I also lost a few pounds which was great!

I hated this product from day one. HORRIBLE! I the first month I spotted for the entire month, then after that fell into a serious depression mode. I didnt enjoy anything as much as i use to and that includes sex.
