I have been on Cyclessa for 2 months now, and my acne is worse than it has EVER been. I had a minor problem with acne before, but nothing a little Clearasil couldn't handle. Now, it's extremely bad, and I hate looking at my skin! It's horrible. I don't know if I should change or wait it out to see if it clears up?!?!
And if I change to a different pill, what should I take?!?

I have been on this for a month now. I immediately had swollen and tender breasts. My acne seems to have gotten worse. Does anyone know if this side effect goes away with use?

i've always had a hard time finding the "right" pill. with every other pill i have tried, i have gotten nauseous, very tiered, moody, emotional, and worst...not being in the mood to have sex. so when i found out about Cyclessa i thought i would give it a try and now I LOVE IT!!! It's like im not even on the pill. i recomend it to anyone!!!

The only side effects ive had so far is a slight cramping in the abdominal area, but other than that its perfect! i've only been taking it for one month though, so we'll see what happens in the upcomming months.

My Doctor told me that it is now known to protect sexually after the first seven days of taking it. It should start working (within your body) as soon as you start taking it.

I just started taking this birth control and I was wondering how long it takes for it to start working?

My acne was not as red and inflammed but I still had a lot of breakouts. I was so sensitive to the type of hormone I ended up having terrible stomach pains/cramps and diarrhea from it almost every day... too much info, I know! I had a hard time finding the right birth control pill, and I was only on this one for about two months, so maybe it gets better. I did gain a little bit of weight even after all of the problems which was weird. It is a super tiny pill which was nice, it was easier to take on a regular basis.

I have been on this pill for one month and everything is fine, except for bloating. I have had no other side effects from it yet except for this. I will give it one or two more months,then maybe I'll try Yasmin for the bloating.
