I just got it yesterday. I read soooo many good things about it before I got it. But now I just found a wealth of reviews that overwhelmingly say most women had issues with it - mainly bleeding, but also weight gain, acne, depression. So I am super nervous. For some women it stops periods right away, but some have to deal with a year of really long odd periods or spotting. I got it because my periods became very painful. I have UC and since my first flare up, estrogen was really aggravating me.

I think every bc option though is going to have a lot of negative reviews so I'm trying to stay optimistic. People are more likely going to be compelled to post a horrible experience and share it. Women who do well on it might not be as encouraged to share their story. There's so many different methods because women are all so different. I just hate how experimental it can be. So I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
