| Pros: | you dont get pregnant |
| Cons: | i absoulutly hate it i broke out so bad i dont even have skin issues, my legs and abdominal area is sore and i feel sad |
| Bottom Line: | dont take any birth control you do not know what effect it is going to have later on in life. birth control is a new thing. they used to use opium, and they said ciggerettes cant hurt you, now we know its bad. same with birth control, it has not been around long enough to know the effects for the future. be natural. you cant always have your cake and eat it too... |

| Pros: | bigger breasts (mainly because they were swollen) |
| Cons: | it made me moodier, caused my face to break out (i had never had acne before), made me bloated and gain weight |
| Bottom Line: | the first month was great, but after that, everything worsened and i stopped taking it because i gained so much water weight and got acne. |

| Pros: | I've had less acne, lost stubborn weight, it has improved my mood swings which are usually very violent and I used to get angry and depressed easily. My period is less painful and less heavy and I don't get as bloated during it. |
| Cons: | I've had some cramps during the month and after I take the pill and stay up for along period of time I'll feel bloated. |
| Bottom Line: | I would take this pill even if I wasn't sexually active for it's benifits. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | Have been using cyclessa for a month now and I haven't had a break during the last 3 weeks. I usually get small pimples and I havent. |
| Cons: | This is the first time I have used birth control and it caused bleeding between my periods! The irony of it! I got on birth control to have sex and I cant because I'm bleeding all month! Not heavy, but enough for my boyfriend and I to be turned off! |
| Recommended: | No |
