Well, I'm not pregnant, I lost 12 pounds, my skin looks so much better, increased sex drive, and lighter periods. Seriously, the best bc I've ever been on.

i started birth control when i was 15 it was supposed to help my cramps. at 16 i ended up with numerous blood clots in my legs lungs and in my arms, my family and was told to come and say goodbye to me because i only had a ten percent chance to live. thankfully i mad it but being 16 and hearing this is probably the end of your life was so hard.

I have also been on this med for close to 6 weeks now, and I am experiencing horrible headaches, blurry vision, discharge and increased spotting before my period. However, my period did last for only 3 days, which is a plus.

I have been on Apri for about 3 years now... and it was fine at first, but I just recently started getting HORRIBLE headaches while taking the white placebo pills. I have also been more moody. Has this happened to anyone else... I'm constantly wondering what this pill is REALLY doing to my body!

I have never been sicker in my life. I have nausea and vomiting starting three days before my period and continuing until three days after. Also, my period has never been so heavy, and has never lasted so long.
