"I am 20 years old and have been taking this birth control for about 2 years now. In the beginning it helped my skin look very good, and I suffered from acne before getting on the pill. I did not gain any weight, maybe helped my breasts grow a little bit (half a cup size) but not too much. I have not had a period in about 5 or 6 months. I have not gotten pregnant. The doctor said it was normal for this pill because it stops the body from producing an egg and over time stops producing a lining in the uterus, therefore, with no lining or blood to shed, you do not have a period anymore. The doctor also said that it is safe and as soon as I get off the birth control I should get my period back, so hopefully there wont be any problems later."
