Pros not pregnant. sex drive great. easy to swallow. predictablt periods.
Cons broke out during period. weight gain. sore/tender breast often (i really dont like that part)
Bottom line it prevents pregnancy which is why im taking it. if you want predicatable periods, its pretty good at that. bottom line, id definetly recommend this to chicks with no boobs. they'll swell up in a heartbeat.

Pros not pregnant, my boobs are HUGE, minimal weight gain, clear skin, very predictable periods, sex drive sky rocketing, easy to swallow
Cons moody, depressed feelings
Bottom line i would totally recommend it! very effective, except if you have a previous history of depression, it could bring it back or make it worse

Pros not pregnant, regular periods
Cons horrible breakouts, bad cramps
Bottom line I have had problems with acne in the past and was on Yaz birthcontrol for over a year, i loved it however i switched brands because i was looking for a less expensive brand. About 2 weeks or so after i started this brand i noticed my ance has become worse. Now almost 1 month and 2 weeks later, my acne is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! I cant stand it and im almost positive its from my birth control!

Has anyone else expirenced this

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.

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.
