I wanted to love this pill. As a body builder I was excited for something that does not cause bloat. It cleared my skin up soooooo much. But the mood swings and dizziness were unbearable for me. Took it once month and had to stop.

Honestly this pill helped me correct extreme anemia and I had far less severe side effects than combination pills I’ve tried. It’s been about 5 months and I do still have some irritability and bloating/weight gain from the initial adjustments but it seems to be getting better over time. I was terrified to take any kind of hormonal birth control because I have severe PMDD and it made it worse in the past, but this was actually manageable and I don’t go through 3 different personalities every month
