Fine, whatever. If it stops ovulation, then it’s doing its job. My period is perfectly regular anyway, so that part doesn't bother me. I'm asking strictly because of my skin—my acne has basically turned into a full-blown medical condition since I'm long past puberty.

I’m right there with you on this! Honestly, the idea of popping these pills scares the hell out of me because of the side effects, but then I look in the mirror and realize my skin issues are just as terrifying. It's a catch-22. From what I’ve gathered while reading up on this, these are supposed to be the "mild" ones, but even then, they aren't exactly designed for women who weigh more than, say, 110 pounds. Since I’m sitting at around 155, I can't help but wonder if I'm overstepping the safety zone here. 🙂 I’m pretty sure birth control isn't exactly a magic fix for everything, but I'm curious—can it actually mess with my mood?
