"this pill was recommended by my ob after removing my birth control implant. i told her my concerns were huge in the weight gain department because any bc i&#039;ve ever tried i&#039;ve always gained weight. i took the pill for about 6 months then decided to stop because i was having a hard time losing weight. once i stopped taking it i didn&#039;t get a period for like four months. i went to the doctor &amp; they had to put me on hormones to jump start my period again. i was finally starting to lose weight &amp; get back to normal when i decided to get back on this pill because it actually did help control my moods. well. i&#039;ve been taking it again for like a week &amp; now i&#039;m back to being hungry all the time!!!
