"i&#039;ve been on various bc pills over the years and this was the worst. i was on this pill for over a year and gained more than 40lbs. i even put weight on in my face! what&#039;s worse is how long it took me to realize how much weight i had put on because it sent me spiraling into uncontrollable depression &amp; i stopped caring about almost everything. after my first year i started having a &quot;period&quot; 2 weeks into the pack which only consisted of extreme cramping and some brown discharge for a few days. around the time i started having a period mid pack my migraines got out of control &amp; i had them controlled for years. i&#039;ve been working out 7 days a week for months and changed my already decent diet and have put on 15 more lbs. i can&#039;t wait to change!"
