Pros regular, on time periods, only 3-4 days on period as opposed to 5-6 before i started to take pill, acne has improved by far.
Cons sooo emotional want to cry about little specific things, headaches from time to time, little expensive
Bottom line i like the pill and i am going to keeping taking it for a very long time.
Price paid $17.00

Pros I had severe. and i mean really bad acne on my back and this cleared it right up!!!, not preggers :), and predictable periods. Yay! buttt waittt.. the cons---v definitely outweigh the pros!
Cons heavier periods. Suuuper moody! i went from nice to bitch in a matter of seconds! also veryyy emotional! everything made me cry! I agree with Sara from Iowa,, i definitely dont feel like myself!! :( oh and i think i might have blood clots in my legs!
Bottom line if you are having irregular periods or suffer from acne,, you should give this pill a try. (that's what got me to try it) plus everyone reacts differently to the pill. However, considering that it made me an emotional mess and now I might be suffering from blood clots I am getting off this pill. I am actually stopping BC all togther! I rather have irregular periods and acne than go through these possibly fatal symptoms. not worth it. Cyclessa thank you for ruining the past couple months of my life

Pros my acne is significantly better after one month, not pregnant, free at planned parenthood, haven't gained weight
Cons i am WAY more emotional now, crying often, my period was heavier than normal
Bottom line i feel like an emotional wreck, but i am not pregnant and its been a miracle worker on my skin.
the emotional stuff has to do with my boyfriend being a jerk, but i have been overreacting to everything. its not good...i am on the verge of tears over small things.

my acne was really bad though and its clearing right up...i have received many compliments on my skin since i started!

Pros Not many side effects.
Cons MY BOOBS DIDNT GROW!!!!
Bottom line I took this pill to regulate my period and was hoping I would have the added benefit of bigger boobs. Nope. All you ladies whose boobs grew like two cup sizes I am so jealous! How did you take the pill? LOL. I took mine at night then switched my time to around lunch time. No change in side effects and I often took it dry or with water.

Pros Already had big boobs but now it looks like I got implants! Slight weight loss, rare cravings, 2-3 day regulated periods, slight mood swings... shrunk cysts..
Cons the first 3 months it gave me light acne and nausea but they both went away shortly
Bottom line this is the first birth control that I have ever taken and I find no reason to change! Many places do not give birth control based on your height and weight but ask if they can! I feel completely normal and have been on it for 6 months!

Pros no babies, 3 day periods, lighter cramps, cheap
Cons extreme nausea and vomiting, weight loss
Bottom line I was on this for about a month, and it did not agree with me at all! It gave me so much nausea, I threw up and got violently ill third week of my first pack, as well as first week of my second pack. I went and got something different (I was on Aviane before this, and now I am on Lutera, Aviane's "sister" drug) and have seen no nausea since my change-over. My doctor thought it wasn't just the pill that was making me ill, but after I quit Cyclessa I noticed almost an immediate change.

I lost quite a bit of weight (7 pounds in a month) because I didn't want to/couldn't really eat...I felt so sick, and nothing sounded good. Just thinking about food made my stomach turn!

It did it's job though...no babies! Just didn't work for me.

Pros No break outs or heavy bleeding
Bottom line It works well and I've tryed two other types of birth control and went right back to this one because it didn't make me break out or bleed for two weeks.very low mg pill love it.every womens body is different find the one that works for you stay away from the ones that give you less periods.GEt the lowest mg you can for your weight ask your doc and don't just take anything they give you because it's a free sample they are just tying to push new product know your stuff google different types of pills and get feedback before choosing one. : )
