Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol
birth control
"Did what it was supposed to do, i.e. I didn't get pregnant and I was sexually active the whole time I was on it. Also, I don't believe I had the single zit for the whole year and a half I was on it. Nice!

However...

I experienced a lot of very annoying headaches while taking Ocella. They were stubborn too, wouldn't go away if I took an Aleeve. 

Also, weight gain definitely happened. I went up 2 full cup sizes and "filled out" in general. I would say about 8lbs or so. (With little to no change in my diet/ lifestyle)

Also, I feel that Ocella increased my anxiety and depression. It also affected my sex drive and level of lubrication. 

Everyone's body is different, hard to say if symptoms were from Ocella or unrelated."
