Pros you dont get pregnant
Cons i absoulutly hate it i broke out so bad i dont even have skin issues, my legs and abdominal area is sore and i feel sad
Bottom line dont take any birth control you do not know what effect it is going to have later on in life. birth control is a new thing. they used to use opium, and they said ciggerettes cant hurt you, now we know its bad. same with birth control, it has not been around long enough to know the effects for the future. be natural. you cant always have your cake and eat it too...

Pros bigger breasts (mainly because they were swollen)
Cons it made me moodier, caused my face to break out (i had never had acne before), made me bloated and gain weight
Bottom line the first month was great, but after that, everything worsened and i stopped taking it because i gained so much water weight and got acne.
Price paid $30.00

Pros I've had less acne, lost stubborn weight, it has improved my mood swings which are usually very violent and I used to get angry and depressed easily. My period is less painful and less heavy and I don't get as bloated during it.
Cons I've had some cramps during the month and after I take the pill and stay up for along period of time I'll feel bloated.
Bottom line I would take this pill even if I wasn't sexually active for it's benifits.

Pros Have been using cyclessa for a month now and I haven't had a break during the last 3 weeks. I usually get small pimples and I havent.
Cons This is the first time I have used birth control and it caused bleeding between my periods! The irony of it! I got on birth control to have sex and I cant because I'm bleeding all month! Not heavy, but enough for my boyfriend and I to be turned off!

Pros Tiny pill is easy to swallow. The only weight gain I've had is in my breast which was a plus!!!
Cons I've had spotting a couple weeks before my period. My face breaks out even thought I was told that it helps acne.
Bottom line I'm thinking of switching.....

Pros I've been on Cyclessa for 6 years. It is easy to swallow because it is so small. My periods last 2-3 days max! How great is that?
Cons By the third week of pills my breasts get tender. Every now and then I have cramps. I have seen some weight gain but not a lot. I was never told that it could help with acne so can't comment on that.
Bottom line I like it.
Price paid $25.00

Pros I did not experience weight gain
Cons I never have skin issues and have broken out all over my face and I have had cycle bleeding in between period every month. At first i thought it was because it was a new presciption, but it continued. I am not going to use it anymore
