I have been on Desogen for 6 months now, and I love it. I'm on it because I normally have really bad cramps, but on this pill, they are like 10 times better. Also, every month I'm on Desogen, my period has been getting shorter, which is great. I haven't had any of the mood swings or acne that some people have mentioned. I was on Seasonale and Levlen before this, and I was like binge-eating while taking those. That has stopped with the Desogen. So, while it seems a lot of women here have had bad experiences, you never know, it might work for you like it did for me.
