For Birth Control "I've used this for 2 years and have had no problems whatsoever. I previously had an arm implant and experienced spotting and weight gain that wouldn't stop. After taking Quasense, I've lost weight, no spotting, light and short periods. I use Retin-A for acne, so my skin has been unaffected. I'm not sure about water retention because I believe that has a lot to do with diet, and I'm athletic, so I stay hydrated on a daily basis. I experienced no nausea, headaches, or psychological side effects. And most importantly, no pregnancy."

For Birth Control "I only had issues with acne and a few headaches. With the headache, I would just take aspirin and it went away. I would wash my face 3 times a day, and I still couldn't keep the breakouts under control. So I am switching back to my old pills after being on these for 90 days. I had no spotting, no mood swings, or any other side effects. I am 31, eat healthy, work out 4 times a week, and the pills were free to me per my insurance, so that's why I tried them. Hope this info helps you decide if this pill is right for you. I would still use them, but at 31, acne is not a good look for me."

For Birth Control "Sooo, I started these pills back in January, and I've gained over 20 pounds. Here lately, I've been spotting, breasts have been super sore, and headaches are terrible. I need a different pill because the weight gain is absolutely terrible!!!"

For Birth Control "I love this stuff, as does my friend who recommended it to me. I've been on it for 2 years now. I had some breakthrough spotting the first year. To me, this was not a huge deal as my previous birth control gave me crippling headaches and numerous side effects. I found dealing with breakthrough spotting (if and only if I took it a bit late) to be a minimal issue. After being on it for a year, this issue went away and I'm glad I stuck with it. I also gained zero weight from being on this birth control. The unfortunate part about birth control is everyone reacts to it a bit differently, and it's mostly people who react poorly that bother to review drugs. When it comes to birth control, you're only gonna know if you try it yourself, not on reviews. It worked well for me and hopefully does for you too."
