My birth control has helped me by making my periods really light but then im bleeding for 7 days straight. Its help with some physical changes, but also hurt some important ones like weight. Other than that, I love this so far. But I shall report back in a few months with an update -Sunstruck

i honestly wouldn’t recommend this, he first 3 months being on this birth control i had no period and began for months on end after that. Couldn’t predict my period at all so a lot of ruined underwear. Than sometimes it’ll some for 2-3 days and i would start bleed all over again. I got broken up with 2 weeks after having this and when i tell i was so emotional more than usual. Lastly i had the worse appetite while on this birth control. i weighed 129lb before nexapolan now i weigh 111lb and during that period of time i was not active.
