| Pros: | My breasts had gotten firmer, which is not saying much since im 36DD. |
| Cons: | Nauseous, Tired, Dizzy, headaches that increased in severity, confused and dis oriented. |
| Bottom Line: | I started this pill a week ago, on the first day I had taken a pill and i had gotten nauseous then i had thought it was because I hadn't eaten anything, so the next day I had taken a pill after dinner and i wasnt naseous but for the rest of the week I was tired then when the weekend had started I became nauseous all over again and I had a headache that started on friday at 7 and went away when i woke up the next morning but was back as soon as 7p.m. had came around. On monday I was so tired and nauseous that I felt like I was going to pass out and the headaches didnt help like clock work it had came back at 7. So I had stopped taking it on wednesday and it is now thursday and I have been feeling better the only thing was that I had a slight headache but it stopped after 10 mins. So now I would not recommend this birthcontrol to anyone. |

| Pros: | cleared my face, prevented pregnancy |
| Cons: | MOODY |
| Bottom Line: | The only thing i can complain about this pill is its effect on my moods. I cry over nothing and get very angry easily like I am constantly pmsing. If you forget to take a pill and have to double up it made me very sick, I'd be throwing up all morning. |

| Pros: | NO PROS |
| Cons: | BREAKOUTS BREAKOUTS BREAKOUTS |
| Bottom Line: | I've been struggling with acne for about 4 to 5 years now each year getting worse and this pill only made my breakouts WORSE. I only started taking this pill to TREAT my acne and now this is NOT one clear section of my face. I break out in areas that have never been problem. Not only does it make you break out this are DEEP LARGE bumps that take at least a couple weeks to clear. BOTTOM LINE IF YOU ARE TAKING BIRTH CONTROL TO TREAT YOUR ANCE THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT PILL FOR YOU! |
