| Pros: | Light, very predictable periods, no cramps, no pregnancy. |
| Cons: | Depression, moodiness, don't feel like self. No change in acne. |
| Bottom Line: | Would not be on this unless I felt like I needed to for the meantime. Was put on it because of excessive bleeding during periods causing numerous fainting spells. Definitely thinking about going off birth control~! Hate it, mind feels very uneasy. |
