"i&#039;ve had this for almost 2 years. i rated it high because i am not pregnant. but i do feel that the bad side effects outweigh the good.

i didn&#039;t have a period for like 3 months and then i got one and it wasn&#039;t terrible. then i consistently got them every 3 months. 

however, the past 2 months i&#039;ve gotten a heavy period every 2 weeks and they are painful. 

not to mention, i have definitely gained weight. if i had to guess i&#039;d say 20 lbs. and i&#039;ve stayed the same weight for awhile now. i&#039;m 22. 5&#039;10 and a college athlete. so i eat decently well and workout multiple times a day and i cannot lose a pound. my depression has also been bad. i made an appointment with my doctor to discuss other birth control options"
