"my experience has been almost entirely negative.

pros: fuller breasts, effective at preventing pregnancy

cons: spotting and heavy bleeding, cramps, irritability, fatigue, cannot stop eating mcdonald&#039;s... weight gain concentrated in the &quot;mom-gut&quot; region



i began spotting during the first week. this lasted several weeks, some days barely there, other days heavy. it stopped for barely a week, and then started again. during the second month, i basically started a period, going from light spotting to a light period. during week 6 i started a full-blown heavy period. week 7 - intense cramping started. i started week 9 this week... but i have just had it. there is no end in sight, it seems. into the trash it goes."
