I have been on this pill for 10 days and have already gained 7 lbs, have horrible skin, mood swings and depression, I have been bleeding since last night (2.5 weeks premature) and I am home sick from work today because my lower back is killing me!!! ugg!! This is a nightmare, who cares if my periods are 3 days shorter? It won't matter because I'll be too fat, ugly and miserable to do anything anyway! I called my doctor and am going off this pill today.....the search continues for a symptom free form of effective BC! Please ladies, offer any suggestions:)
