For Birth Control "I've been on this pill for 3 years to great success. I started on the lowest dose, and there was a difficult adjustment period. I continued to experience breakthrough bleeding even after the other symptoms subsided. I was bumped up to 1.5/30, and it's been smooth sailing ever since! I started the pill exclusively for birth control, but it had the wonderful side effect of helping with my once very heavy and PMS-driven periods. I no longer experience ANY PMS, bleed lighter and for shorter periods, and only experience very mild cramps on occasion. Other than that, the only side effect I have is breast tenderness, but this is few and far between."

For Birth Control "This birth control is awful. My boobs hurt literally all of the time. My face is constantly breaking out, and I'm gaining a lot of weight. (Could be hormonal, but none of the other birth control I've been on have done this). My cramps are terrible, and my period is light."

For Birth Control "Before this birth control, I had very irregular, very painful, and very heavy periods. Along with that, I had 'abnormal' hair growth and fluctuating breast size. Since starting this, all of these things have improved immensely. I love knowing when my period will come, it's so much more tolerable and lighter than I literally thought possible. The downsides: I have tender breasts (not bad though), occasional nausea, and acne. I've never had acne before, but it is something I am able to control and deal with easily. OH! The best part: I'm not pregnant! Everyone reacts differently to different birth controls. If you have way out-of-whack hormones like I did, I highly suggest this birth control. Besides, it's inexpensive."
