"first birth control i was put on. the first couple of months were fine i was very emotional at times tho. boobs grew for sure and acne has cleared up. the third month i started spotting for 2 weeks before i got my period and only had it for 3 days. i recently have noticed i&#039;ve gained a lot of weight. used to have great abs and now i have a muffin top and pudgy looking stomach, have been working out and doesn&#039;t seem to do much. debating if i even like having these hormones in my body. i was fine before taking birth control, i went on it for acne and to regulate my periods but now i don&#039;t think it was really worth it, it&#039;s starting to make me feel like i&#039;m starving like an hour after i eat a full meal."
