Pros:

works for PCOS "victims"... i now have regular periods, and clean smooth skin

Cons:

Weight gain:larger breasts, mid section and thighs, tenderness of breast, TERRIBLE MOOD SWINGS

been on it for over 8 months. Im 20, and hate the weight gain, and terible mood swings. IF you don't have PCOS, don't take it - the risks even my gynae outlined arent pretty - she's planning to take me off it real soon... Recommended: Yes - for PCOS

Pros:

Clear, super soft skin, less facial hair, weight loss, bigger breasts (as if I really needed that!), less body odor, less abdominal pain, etc. less menstral cramps and way less bleeding. Regular periods.

Cons:

Stomach upset so I take it 2 hrs before bedtime. Not really a con for me since I always go to bed at that time. Not sure about periods being light or heavy.

My acne started improving by my second month on this. My bust started getting bigger almost immediately (I was already a D34 before I started, so hey, I didn't need the boost but my boyfriend sure loves it!) I've been on this 7 months. The first 4 months my period were awesome. Light for once, and I got my regular 28 days (yay!) however the past 2 periods have been my normal horrible period but I believe this is extreme stress from school/home. I started this for fasial hair, acne, frequent heavy periods. It's helped tremendously. However I have hypothyroid from before this and it didn't improve, so I will need to start therapy for that as well. I love this pill but all pills depend on your body type. A lot of the symptoms I see here are symptoms of hypothyroid which is often not diagnosed properly. I would suggest seeing an endocrinologist to get that sorted. Don't blame a great pill for hidden hormone probs. Chances are if one hormone is out of whack the w
