Pros:

Very effective at preventing pregnancy, predictable SHORT and LIGHT periods, NO CRAMPS, VERY CLEAR SKIN (no pimples at all, although I had good skin before), NO PMS or moodiness issues, and NO WEIGHT GAIN!!!! (<- I think I lost weight on this pi

Cons:

Nausea (very very rarely, if I take it on an empty stomach)

Absolutely great! I tried so many BCPs: Alesse, OrthoTriCyclen (regular and Lo), Loestrin, and Microgestin; and this is the best pill I've ever taken. I would gain weight, or get terrible pimples, but with this pill there is none of that. My periods are 3 days long (used to be 6 days), my skin is amazingly clear and I'm not as moody as I used to be. Also when I get to my third week of pills, my sex drive sky-rockets. It's amazing!!! And no babies so far. It's also quite affordable, if you have insurance.

I was on the depo shot for about two years and I'd constantly time to time. Well I decided to get back on the pill. Well the bleeding stopped. Although my breast hurt, and I'm always feeling like vomitting. Other than that I'm not pregnant.

Pros:

Bigger boobs, lost weight, no spotting, and I'm not pregnant! :)

Cons:

At the beginning, I got a little acne, but after letting my body adjust to it, it cleared it all up and I get cramps now and then.

It's so easy to use and it really works. I love my bigger boobs and how skinny I feel.
