| 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! |

| Pros: | Bigger boobs, lost weight, no spotting, and I'm not pregnant! :) |
| Cons: | At the beginning, I got a little acne, but after letting my body adjust to it, it cleared it all up and I get cramps now and then. |
| Bottom Line: | It's so easy to use and it really works. I love my bigger boobs and how skinny I feel. |

| Pros: | I am not pregnant...and I know when to expect my period avery month. Far less cramping during my period than I had before and my periods are about four days shorter then they were before. |
| Cons: | Well I didn't really think there were any cons until I read the other reviews and noe I am thinking that maybe some of the things that were normal are related to the pill. Sush as mood swings headaches, NO sex drive and not wanting to do anything. |
| Bottom Line: | I have definatly gained about twenty pounds every year that I have taken this pill. I would say that it is very effective however, in preventing pregnancy. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Price Paid: | 25.00 |
