Pros:

No breakouts, bigger breasts, got it for free, weight loss, no babies.

Cons:

None, I love it!

Getting on this pill is the best thing I've ever done! Within weeks of taking it my breast size increase and the rest of me slimmed down. I had small pimples that would pop up but once I started taking this pill they completely went away.

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:

Well, I'm not pregnant and the pill is easy to swallow. Not a ton of moodiness either. Periods are VERY predictable. I have a feeling it increases my sex-drive.

Cons:

Massive breast tenderness for about half of the month, including lots of swelling (DD's already, I don't need breast swelling). Cramps can be painful. Periods last up to 5 days.

Its not perfect, but I won't switch.

Pros:

No pregnancy or weight gain, skin cleared right up

Cons:

Extreme moodiness, border line depression

This was my second time using Cyclessa. The first time i discontinued use was because I became moody and irritable, and pretty out of it. I started up again to give it another try and again, and my normally happy self fell into a slump.
