birth control
"I'm 18 years old, I started taking the pill about a month ago.  At first, due to the sudden change of hormones, I had a horrible breakout of acne on my face, and I was very emotional and bitter at first.  But my first period since being on it was much shorter than my usual periods.  Normally my periods last a full week, but this one only lasted about 3-4 days or so.  So right away my period got lighter with tolerable and few cramps, as opposed to my normal constant excruciatingly painful cramps that would sentence me to a day or two on the couch with a hot water bottle and some Aleve. My face has cleared since and my emotions are back to normal. I definitely recommend this pill!"
