So today this morning I went to my doctor to get on birth control, I asked her how long does it take to start to be affective and she said a week I think and I don't really remember, so I was wondering if that's it, if it start working in a week. So I started it today to be more safer with my boyfriend and because I hear it helps with acne, and I've seen it help my friend and I've had ance for 7 years so I'm excited to see what it will do with me !:) also, I hear it helps with cramps and I have severe cramps so I'm also excited to see how much it helps with that, I don't have my hopes up too high with cramps because mine are really bad but if it can help a little than praise the lord. 

Anyways I was also wondering how birth control helped you with some of these things and if there's more I should know :)
