"despite all of these poor ratings of this birth control, i must say that i was previously on the depo shot, as it did what it was supposed to prevent pregnancy, it did make it impossible to lose the extra 5lbs. plus my husband and i were planning on getting off the shot and switching to the pill to get pregnant quicker. we still haven&#039;t decided to try, but with taking seasonique, i have had zero weight gain, zero hormone change....no side effects what so ever. my breasts however grew from a solid c cup to a e cup, due to being high in estrogen. so some women may hate that, some may love it....but this has been so reliable, and consistent and has given me voluptuous breasts."
