| Pros: | Effective birth control, hasnt decreased sex drive or made me crazy like it has other people. |
| Cons: | I'm a petite girl and gained 5 lbs. in 10 days! That's 5% of my body weight! Everyday I go to the gym and everyday I have gained weight. I feel like a fat slob. I have a fast metabolism, but its not helping. Also, my joints are starting to ache. |
| Bottom Line: | Everyones body reacts differently. Try it and see how yours reacts. I will only allow myself to gain 3 more pounds maximum before trying something else. I guess its better than being pregnant. I've been there and done that. |
| Usage: | Reviewer has used this item for a few weeks. |

| Pros: | Severity of cramps reduced, no babies, bigger boobs |
| Cons: | Weight gain, mood swings, emotional |
| Bottom Line: | I have been on this pill for over a year now. I have gained weight but I used to throw up when i had my period and now I just feel a little cramping. Ive become way more emotional and cranky sometimes. However, its kept me from getting pregnant so it has to be working!! |

| Pros: | regular period |
| Cons: | BAD acne |
| Bottom Line: | I have only taken it for a month, but i am going to make a change because i have never had acne this bad in my life. I dont think it would be worth it for me to stay on it for a few monthes (to see if my body regulates) because i dont want scaring. |
