"i have had this birth control since last october and i have gain a lot  of weight! i was told by my obgyn that i wouldn&#039;t gain any weight and that this was the better option. but in my opinion its not. i weighed 125 the day that i got this and here it is not even a year yet and i weight 185 i gained 60 lbs and it is getting worst. it is extremely hard to lose it. i also play sports and things but the birth control makes me very lazy and tired all the time. all i want to do is sleep! i would not recommend this to anyone. my period is so crazy one minute i have one and then i don&#039;t have one for about 2 months. this might just be my reaction from my body but i still wouldn&#039;t recommend it for anyone."
