"I have been on this for about 7 months.  I used to have unbearable periods with awful cramps and vomiting every month or every other month.  I would bleed through super tampons in about an hour.  I missed school the first day of every period because I would feel so terrible.  Now, I have periods that are only 3-4 days long and are super light. I can tell my breasts have swollen and I have gone up a cup size and gained a couple of pounds, but it is also College, so who doesn&#039;t gain a few pounds?  I would much rather have a little weight gain than those awful periods or a baby right now."
