Anonymous, USA Dec 10th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Dont get pregnant and doesnt make me sick. Cons: TERRIBLE ACNE!! Constanly urinating!!!!!! Bottom Line: I've had a little acne before taking this pill, but now my face looks the worst it has ever and im a couple of years out of my teen years!! I've noticed i have to urinate more frequently since i been on it!!! I do go tanning (because of a skin condition on my hands) and dermatologist said that tanning would help with my hands, but all the other birth controls i was on before (ortho, ortho lo) had made me have a reaction called photosensitivity... and after about a week of taking the pill, i could tan fine. But ... the acne is so bad im thinking about switching... dont know if i should wait because maybe my body needs time to adjust to it??? And this birth control has cost me more than any other pill.

Mack, Alaska Nov 29th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Well, I'm not pregnant and the pill is easy to swallow. Not a ton of moodiness either. Periods are VERY predictable. I have a feeling it increases my sex-drive. Cons: Massive breast tenderness for about half of the month, including lots of swelling (DD's already, I don't need breast swelling). Cramps can be painful. Periods last up to 5 days. Bottom Line: Its not perfect, but I won't switch. Recommended: Yes Usage: Mack has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 5.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
