"concerns about a birth control drug called &quot;nikki&quot; - the same exact thing as &quot;gianvi&quot;? doubt it: took gianvi for 4 years and gained 5 lbs. then my provider switched me to &quot;nikki&quot;. in 3 months, i lost 15 pounds. great, right? no, my backside and breasts went flat. i was alarmed, i looked like a boy, like i didn&#039;t have breasts at all. my obgyn said it could not *possibly* be the drug and that i should go get a blood test and physical. tests came back normal. went off nikki, gained 10 pounds. gave nikki another chance to see if it was a fluke. quickly lost the 10 pounds i&#039;d regained. i looked like i was dying. went off nikki again. gained all 15 pounds of my weight back. called my obgyn again. she says it&#039;s a coincidence. i don&#039;t think so."
