Pros:

IM NOT PREGNANT, and my boyfriend "goes" inside me almost every time...so it def works. Shorter perios d from before and not as heavy. Plus knowing exactly which day my period will start every month.

Cons:

Painful cramping first day of period, then its over for the rest of the week.

I love this birthcontrol. I never heard it helped acne before, so i cant really comment on that but my face seems pretty normal. Its small so its easy to take. Bottom line: Highly Recommend it =0)

Pros:

I've had less acne, lost stubborn weight, it has improved my mood swings which are usually very violent and I used to get angry and depressed easily. My period is less painful and less heavy and I don't get as bloated during it.

Cons:

I've had some cramps during the month and after I take the pill and stay up for along period of time I'll feel bloated.

I would take this pill even if I wasn't sexually active for it's benifits.
