Pros:

Already had big boobs but now it looks like I got implants! Slight weight loss, rare cravings, 2-3 day regulated periods, slight mood swings... shrunk cysts..

Cons:

the first 3 months it gave me light acne and nausea but they both went away shortly

this is the first birth control that I have ever taken and I find no reason to change! Many places do not give birth control based on your height and weight but ask if they can! I feel completely normal and have been on it for 6 months!

Pros:

no babies, 3 day periods, lighter cramps, cheap

Cons:

extreme nausea and vomiting, weight loss

I was on this for about a month, and it did not agree with me at all! It gave me so much nausea, I threw up and got violently ill third week of my first pack, as well as first week of my second pack. I went and got something different (I was on Aviane before this, and now I am on Lutera, Aviane's "sister" drug) and have seen no nausea since my change-over. My doctor thought it wasn't just the pill that was making me ill, but after I quit Cyclessa I noticed almost an immediate change. I lost quite a bit of weight (7 pounds in a month) because I didn't want to/couldn't really eat...I felt so sick, and nothing sounded good. Just thinking about food made my stomach turn! It did it's job though...no babies! Just didn't work for me.

Pros:

No break outs or heavy bleeding

It works well and I've tryed two other types of birth control and went right back to this one because it didn't make me break out or bleed for two weeks.very low mg pill love it.every womens body is different find the one that works for you stay away from the ones that give you less periods.GEt the lowest mg you can for your weight ask your doc and don't just take anything they give you because it's a free sample they are just tying to push new product know your stuff google different types of pills and get feedback before choosing one. : )

Moodiness, depression, anxiety, acne, weight gain, stomach issues, you name it.

I was on this pill years ago and did not realize how much it messed up my life! I have been on it again for about 3 months now and I cannot function on this. I am crying every day every hour! I don't want to do anything. I def. do not feel like myself.

Cleared skin up, breasts larger.
