@Lauren101502 I would talk to your doctor. Some kinds can be more prone to these type of effects. I was on one kind that was making me have really bad breakouts, told my doctor and switched to a different one and my skin has completely cleared.

@Lauren101502 Yeah that makes sense. I also started taking these PMS vitamins called FLO that helped my skin (although it's hard to tell cause I've been doing a bunch of things at once lol). They are also supposed to help with cramps. Good luck!
