This has been my favorite pill of all I’ve been on in my 20+ years of using birth control. I have clearer skin, controlled weight, minimal period cramps, 4-5 day flow (less than my prior flow time), better moods, positive sex drive, less anxiety than when on other forms of birth control, and overall a positive experience.

Increased sex drive massively, skin is improving, and I feel happy and confident. I have tried multiple other pills and this one is a match for me.

Literally the god send pill that I started using on my study abroad year in America but can no longer access because I’m British and its only available in the US😭 Literally had no negative side effects apart from some nausea at the beginning that went away swiftly. PLS AUBRA, COME TO THE UK, I WILL PAY FOR YOU!!
