hey, well all of my experiences of the pill have been bad. the last one i took(don't remember the name),it was very low estrogen since i was breast feeding. it did make me break out which was odd since i have always had good skin. but it also caused other problems such as bad mood swings, and my legs got really sore so bad that i could hardly walk and i had all of these knots come up and the doctor said it was from the birth control. so now i'm on the iud which is much better.my periods are really light, but having them often which also could be from my body adjusting to it and since i just stopped breastfeeding my 2nd child. but my arms break out a little. i still like it better than the pill and the one i have(mirena) lasts for 5 yrs. unless you have it taken out sooner.
