| Pros: | Prevents pregnancy (I assume), larger boobs! |
| Cons: | Bleading in first month, horrible acne, unable to sleep, bloating and gas entire second month |
| Bottom Line: | I bled for the ENTIRE first month I was on this pill. Not just spotting, but literally a month long period. The next month there was no bleeding, but the horrible cystic acne that developed when I started taking it has continued. The cheaper price of this pill as opposed to the Ortho-Tricyclen-Lo that I used to take is not worth it. I am horribly embarassed by the huge pus-filled pimples on my face, even though I do love my new larger boobs. I will be switching back to OTC-Lo this week. However, just since this pill didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you. Many people can't use OTC-Lo but it works like a charm for me. |

| Pros: | IM NOT PREGNANT, and my boyfriend "goes" inside me almost every time...so it def works. Shorter perios d from before and not as heavy. Plus knowing exactly which day my period will start every month. |
| Cons: | Painful cramping first day of period, then its over for the rest of the week. |
| Bottom Line: | I love this birthcontrol. I never heard it helped acne before, so i cant really comment on that but my face seems pretty normal. Its small so its easy to take. Bottom line: Highly Recommend it =0) |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | This form of birth control is fully effective. My period also comes every month instead of randomly. |
| Cons: | This pill causes me to feel very emotional & mood swingy. I have also agained 15 pounds & have experienced a yeast infection just about every month. I have also had frequent headaches as well as a decreased desire to do anything in general. |
| Bottom Line: | I hope to switch pills & I hope that some pill out there will work for me! |
