This is by far the best option for me, I don't have to remember to change it often, I can skip periods if I want to and I have no major side effexts. I will say that I went from someone who never cries to crying over the silliest things, but it isn't an overall mood change, more that I'm just a bit tearier when I am sad. I also find that I am more 'wet' with it than without, I did have really dry skin for the first couple months but then everything evened itself out.
Somewhat negative mood

Best contraception ive used, only problem is if you suffer from migraines you are unable to use them so they are not allowed to prescribe me with this anymore :(
