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 My period is regular and I haven't gotten pregnant.
Cons I've had mood swings, my breasts hurt really bad, and I gained some weight.
Bottom line I'm not sure if this form of the pill is right for me and it seems others have issues with it too.

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)

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!
