It is not bad. The bad thing about it is it did make me gain weight and made my boobs go from a C to a DD and it kind of hurts my back. I gained like 10-15 lbs and I am unable to lose it no matter what diets I do. My skin has cleared up and my hair isn’t as oily and my periods have stopped which is really nice though.

I had one day of breakthrough bleeding, which was nice. At about day 9, I had sudden intense cramping, and I thought it was my ovary. Still haven't confirmed this, but I have not experienced that until I started the pill. I had cramps for the 6 weeks I was on it, and many days I was nauseous. I had a headache everyday, but I thought I could handle these physical symptoms since I felt it improved my mood some days. However, after having my first period on the pill (longer than usual, bad cramps, nausea), my mood dropped and I got very suicidal and had to stop taking the pill.
