I've ttried several pills over the past couple of years due the awful cramps I get before my period and none of them worked for me. One, I'm a highschool student, so my schedule is kind of all over the place, making it hard for me to take the pill a the same time every day, or remember. Two, I had constant spotting on most, instant weight gain, my skin got worse. I hated the way the pill made me feel. It was generally just a mess. 4 months ago I was put in the nuvaring as an alternative, and... View full comment
