Pros:

Bigger boobs, lost weight, no spotting, and I'm not pregnant! :)

Cons:

At the beginning, I got a little acne, but after letting my body adjust to it, it cleared it all up and I get cramps now and then.

It's so easy to use and it really works. I love my bigger boobs and how skinny I feel.

Pros:

I am not pregnant...and I know when to expect my period avery month. Far less cramping during my period than I had before and my periods are about four days shorter then they were before.

Cons:

Well I didn't really think there were any cons until I read the other reviews and noe I am thinking that maybe some of the things that were normal are related to the pill. Sush as mood swings headaches, NO sex drive and not wanting to do anything.

I have definatly gained about twenty pounds every year that I have taken this pill. I would say that it is very effective however, in preventing pregnancy.

Pros:

you dont get pregnant

Cons:

i absoulutly hate it i broke out so bad i dont even have skin issues, my legs and abdominal area is sore and i feel sad

dont take any birth control you do not know what effect it is going to have later on in life. birth control is a new thing. they used to use opium, and they said ciggerettes cant hurt you, now we know its bad. same with birth control, it has not been around long enough to know the effects for the future. be natural. you cant always have your cake and eat it too...

Tiny pill is easy to swallow. The only weight gain I've had is in my breast which was a plus!!!

I've had spotting a couple weeks before my period. My face breaks out even thought I was told that it helps acne.

I'm thinking of switching.....

I have moderate acne. That's why i took OTC, it made me breakout more and gain weight all in one month. The acne and weight was so embarrassing. i couldn't stop eating. Some may say i should of taking it more then a month but trust me i was food monster! i dont think i can afford to feed me self like that. :) If someone had same experience and been cured with different birth control pills please let me know by emailing at [email address removed] or leave a comment. Its very upsetting that i'm that odd ball who was not cured.
