Pros:

nothing

Cons:

terrible acne within one week
mood swings

WORST bc EVER. I am warning you right now, do NOT take this bc. First, it will make you breakout BAD before it gets any better, and once it gets better, it will come back even WORST than before once you get off it. I only took it for one month and had to throw it away, i am so angry that this pill made me broke out so bad, i never had acne this bad. I know you are suppost to wait about 2 to 3 months, but really, it is NOT worth it. The scars will take FOREVER to heal, and the mood swing is unbarable. And after you get off this pill, most people have TERIBLE break out, worst than they get on, if you don't believe me, do some research and you will find it. I am warning you, save youselves money and pain, go with the naturl rout, i wish i had. DONT MESS WITH HORMONES
