"my bc was placed about 2 years ago. over all effective did not become pregnant but from the start i had horrible side effect with headaches, my hair falling out &amp; no periods (so thought was a good thing). then went on to having oily hair &amp; skin, gaining weight, &amp; heavy two week periods every two to three weeks. now i have cysts on my ovaries monitored every six weeks. next week it&#039;ll be removed :d"
