| Pros: | No pregnancy or weight gain, skin cleared right up |
| Cons: | Extreme moodiness, border line depression |
| Bottom Line: | This was my second time using Cyclessa. The first time i discontinued use was because I became moody and irritable, and pretty out of it. I started up again to give it another try and again, and my normally happy self fell into a slump. |

| Pros: | Not pregnant if that helps. Less acne. |
| Cons: | Dr said I had physiological discharge from this pill. Still healthy. Too bad, my breasts didn't get bigger, Oh well. |
| Bottom Line: | Very minimal side effects for me..I can live with it. I was taking Mircette before this pill (same company). It's definitely affordable..I got it at a clinic for $15/pack (not generic). It's not a miracle pill but it does it's job. I get my period regularly..it starts about day 3 of the inactive week and ends on the last day of that week..5days. |

| Pros: | Effective form of birth control, works after just one week, got over any symptoms within the first week of taking, no weight gain (at least yet) and my boobs feel bigger! |
| Cons: | First 3 days while I was adjusting to the pill I had bad migranes but I decided to give it a few days and I ended up adjusting just fine! |
| Bottom Line: | I don't think it has effected my skin yet. I tend to breakout but I haven't noticed any more or less. I haven't had any spotting this first month but I'm really good about taking it at the same time every day. Overall, I'm happy with this birth control! |
