I have crazy mood swings. and my appetite has changed. unfortunately, i have to finish this month’s pack before starting a new brand. the only good thing is i’m not pregnant , so it works, but my doctor said it’s probably too much estrogen in them for me now.

I've been taking this birth control for 7 years and never had an issue. I think my body just may be more cooperative than most in that before I took BC I never struggled with acne/bad PMS/bad cramps. This birth control hasn't given me any adverse effects except probably reducing my sex drive a bit.

I have never gotten pregnant while taking it, so it does itâ??s job. However, I have completely lost my sex drive. My periods are moderate to light (they used to be heavy with horrible cramps). I donâ??t experience many mood swings and I donâ??t notice overwhelming depression. I have spotting between periods and I get headaches at the beginning and end of my period like clockwork. I canâ??t wear my contacts regularly (I have dry eyes anyway) but after taking this, it makes trying to wear contacts impossible. My eyes get SUPER dry and my contacts are extremely uncomfortable. I was surprised to learn that others have experienced this too.

Do NOT take if you are depressed. It makes it so much worse. I gained weight, had a increase in acne, extreme bloating and that is within 1 month use. My busy life caused me to not take the pill at the same exact time each day. If I missed a day, I followed the pack instructions to take two the next dose. I am currently 6 weeks pregnant ?? I do not recommend
