"The first month I started taking this my period was horrible. It lasted for almost 2 weeks. My periods have lightened up quite a bit since I started taking it but I&#039;m still spotting and I&#039;ve only tried skipping my period once, which it didn&#039;t work. On the brighter side this pill has helped clear up my acne quite a bit. I don&#039;t eat much anymore either and in return I&#039;ve lost quite a bit of weight. All in all its not a bad pill besides my period and spotting problem. It does what it&#039;s supposed to which is keep me from becoming pregnant which is great."
