| Pros: | Kept me from getting knocked up, short, light period. |
| Cons: | I keep feeling sick in the morning, which made me think I was pregnant,... Thank GOD I wasn't. Also, my skin broke out worse than ever. I'm pissy most of the time, too. |
| Bottom Line: | I got five months of the stuff from a clinic. I'll use it up, but then I'm switching to something else. |

| Pros: | No breakouts, bigger breasts, got it for free, weight loss, no babies. |
| Cons: | None, I love it! |
| Bottom Line: | Getting on this pill is the best thing I've ever done! Within weeks of taking it my breast size increase and the rest of me slimmed down. I had small pimples that would pop up but once I started taking this pill they completely went away. |

| Pros: | Nothing |
| Cons: | Blood clots in my leg (DVT), lungs (PE), and heart (SE). These developed not even after a month of taking it |
| Bottom Line: | I am NOT overweight (in fact I exercise regularly), I do NOT smoke, I am NOT over 30 years old...so why did I get blood clots? I got blood clots a year ago (May 2007), had three surgeries, and have pain everyday. It has ruined my life and has caused $100,000s in medical bills. I got the pill for "free" at the medical center...it is so true that NOTHING in life is free! |

| Pros: | It prevents pregnancy effectively. |
| Cons: | I have been taking this pill for 6 months now. At first I believed it to be wonderful. I am no suffering from depression, I'm moody, I fight about everything. |

| Pros: | Very effective at preventing pregnancy, predictable SHORT and LIGHT periods, NO CRAMPS, VERY CLEAR SKIN (no pimples at all, although I had good skin before), NO PMS or moodiness issues, and NO WEIGHT GAIN!!!! (<- I think I lost weight on this pi |
| Cons: | Nausea (very very rarely, if I take it on an empty stomach) |
| Bottom Line: | Absolutely great! I tried so many BCPs: Alesse, OrthoTriCyclen (regular and Lo), Loestrin, and Microgestin; and this is the best pill I've ever taken. I would gain weight, or get terrible pimples, but with this pill there is none of that. My periods are 3 days long (used to be 6 days), my skin is amazingly clear and I'm not as moody as I used to be. Also when I get to my third week of pills, my sex drive sky-rockets. It's amazing!!! And no babies so far.
It's also quite affordable, if you have insurance. |
