I would totally recommend it.

Exactly the same.
I found i had increased appetite for the first two months (and therefore some slight weight gain) , but after those months it seemed to calm down to how i was before.
And well as for the bigger boobs, Very happy.(especially as i've always been as a flat as a pancake)

It does tend to differ for everyone though, but works great for me.

Headaches & threw up absolutely everywhere.
I think i was on the pill for what, four days?

hmm... so I seem to have missed out on the bigger boobs thing!
Anyways, reagarding the weight gain issue, I quizzed my doctor about it (I will NEVER take meds that cause weight gain) and she said that it can cause increased appetite... but if you ignore that and keep eating the same you won't put on weight. To deal with increased appetite if you get that perhaps you could split your meals up so you're eating the same but more often?
Good luck :)

I wasn't too fond of it because it made me bleed a lot, but lots of people get on well with it. I switched to Marvelon and liked that but now I have a Mirena IUS and its brilliant! I've not had kids either so ask a different dr. It did hurt a bit being put in and made me bleed for a couple of weeks but I've had very few periods since and it was inserted three years ago :)

I'm on it atm - no side affects other than a bit of weight gain and increased breast size

i get headaches a bit, but always have done so dont put that down to the pill at all

i hope it works well for you, but yeah, everyone reacts to things differently which is why there are different pills - if you do have any problems with is just go back to your doctor and see if you can change onto a different one :)

When uterus removal becomes an acceptable form of birth control I'll be first in line.
