 2  birth control (not sexually active) depression, uncontrollable crying, acne IM ONLY 14 AND I HATE THIS. the sad thing is, i need to take this so i can take accutane, because they can't trust that im not sexually active, and if i get pregnant on accutane i will have a deformed child. but this made me break out... bad. i have 3 or 4 bright red zits on my face that are not white heads, but are sore, a zit on my chest, a couple zits on my back, EAR ZITS. seriously?! i've had my acne under control for so long, and this just made it come back terribly. i've also been majorly depressed, convinced my life is worthless and i'll never be happy, etc. which led to uncontrollable crying for the past few days. i mean, i got all the worst side effects possible. i'm underweight and a 32A, so i would've appreciated weight gain or breast size increase! i shouldn't even need to take this! so frustrated! F 14 2 weeks

 1  heavy periods, cramping Dr put my daughter on it to control periods. Vomiting, nausea 5 afters after taking pill most nights, MAJOR anxiety attacks, depression, listlessness, sleepless nights. (Last night up until 5am-cannot sleep) None of these symptoms ever before taking. Flushing them today. No more. Wish I knew how long it takes to get out of her system. F 14 10 days

 5  Long periods, and birth control The only side effect that I had was very mild moodiness, and that was only in the first 3 months when my body was getting used to the hormones. Even with that side effect, I am very pleased with this contraceptive. It works very well for me. I have lighter, shorter periods now. I am less irritable, and I just am overall in a happier state of mind. F 15 5 months

 5  To prevent pregnancy I felt happy, energetic (I usually am a quiet sad person) the only negative thing is I keep eating, which is fine for me as I find it difficult to gain weight anyway! I personally recommend it, I read all these reviews on this site and was so scared to try it! But it's great! Everyone's body is different- try it out, if it doesn't work try another it's not the end of the world! F 16 2 days

 4  i am anemic good: extremely light period, no cramps or pains during period or ovulation, no weight gain bad: no sex drive, major mood swings, no breast increase when i first started taking the pill i was only 14, so i didnt notice many side effects untill now. i have now had a boyfriend and i have no sex drive what so ever. i am also very moody and can go from being extremely happy to upset and crying. i have had no weight gain, but i also workout every day for 2 and a half hours for sports practice. by breasts havent gotten any bigger which i wanted to happen, but my period has been great! it used to be really heavy and would bleed through everything but my period is so light now and it doesnt last long. i used to get excruciating pains during ovulation but i no longer have any sort of pains or cramps. i now stopped taking the pill for a few months and i have noticed a huge increase in sex drive, but i now have had bad cramps and back pains during my period F 16 2 years

 3  birth control I'm only on my first pack. I started getting nightmares, decreased appitite && abnormal sleeping patterns. I'm scared it's not really working. It's my first time on any type of pill. Since it's my first time taking birth control, I'm curious about the effectivness..? Has any one gotten pregnant on the pill. My sister got pregnant twice on the pill (she didnt tell me this until after I had unprotected sex after starting the pill). Is it effective on your first month? F 16

 3  Cramps/Irregular Period depression, mood swings, tired F 16 9 days

 3  Irregular bleeding, spotting. After my first month, I loved the pill. I didn't have a period, I spotted one time, but only because I missed a day. The second month I began to realize that I gained back the 5 pounds that I'd recently lost, along with another 5. I'm going back immediately to get the pill changed, because I'm trying desperately to lose weight and it's not helping. My breasts are also sore all of the time, and I feel exhausted. F 16 3 months
