birth control
"My Personal Experience.
  *   Effectiveness: 
It was completely fine. I felt safe using it even with unprotected sex. I never felt the need to use extra protection.

  *   Side effects and how it made me feel emotionally and physically:
I did not experience sickness or irritability. However, I did experience weight gain, increase of appetite, and hormonal acne. After a while the acne settled down once my body got use to the hormonal changes. 

  *   Insurance coverage:
My insurance is United Healthcare. So after the first month that I was on, I had to switch to a generic version, Tri-Sprintec, because they wouldn't cover it.

 *  Pill size: 
Small. If you don't like taking really small pills, I would suggest taking it with yogurt or pudding"
