"got on this birth control a few years back because i was pretty young and inconsistent with the pill. i was 19 when i got it and it was fine at first, normal period cycle for about 6 months. then i had no period for months. so long i literally can&#039;t remember. i experienced hair loss and a lot of weight gain! like 20 lb. absolutely ridiculous. got it out when i was 21 and haven&#039;t been on anything since."
