| Pros | lost weight, light periods, skin cleared a little. |
|---|---|
| Cons | have to remember to take at the same time to avoid breakthrough bleeding and side effects. |
| Bottom line | I didn't really experience any moodiness till I missed a pill and had to take two in one day. Threw me off for days. My hormones are way outta wack, so this is why I take it. Don't know how well it prevents pregnancy, but I know I'm less moody than I was before. I used to be a nightmare. My breasts are tender, but I've lost weight. Nice. |

| Pros | Know when my period will start, no baby so far, easy to take |
|---|---|
| Cons | Boobs hurt so bad for weeks, tender to the touch and are huge!! Nausea all the time, especially at night. Having weird cramps in the middle of the pack. Gained weight. Always hungry. I feel angry a lot and annoyed. |
| Bottom line | It might be ok for some people but It made my boobs huge and I'm already a 32 DD and my boobs hurt really bad. I feel sick every night and have actually thrown up a couple times, I'm not pregnant but it sure as hell feels like it. If you want bigger boobs then take this pill. |
| Recommended | Yes |

| Pros | I have been known to forgot to take a pill and it's reliable enough to know that taking it the next day I will still be fine. The pill is easy to swallow. |
|---|---|
| Cons | MOODY CRABBY ANGRY woman... Basically the first week of pills I'm fine, but the last 3 weeks I'm a total mess and almost impossible to put up with. I need to switch soon! |
| Bottom line | It does it's job and if you don't have problmes with moodiness it's a good pill. I didn't notice a change in acne or have any breast side-effects. |
| Recommended | No |
| Price paid | $5.00 |

| Pros | I didn't get pregnant. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I had serious mood swings, increased anxiety, and was very emotional. My cramps were 10 times worse than when I was not taking Cyclessa. My menstraul bleeding was extremely heavy. Didn't feel like myself! |
| Bottom line | I took it for a year and switched to the patch 2 months ago. I love it and feel like my old self again. These things work different for everybody. |

| Pros | Not preggers. Bigger boobs within the first week. Regular, usually predictable periods. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Horrible mood swings and cramping. I fight with my bf almost constantly, and I'm depressed. Still get acne from time to time, but not as bad. |
| Bottom line | I use Velivet, the generic form. I'm horribly moody all month, with frequent bad headaches. |
| Price paid | $10.00 |

| 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. |
| Acne severity | moderate |

| 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! |
