"i started this pill about two years ago because the previous one i was on made me extremely nauseous. this one does not, it also makes my periods regular, but sometimes they can be heavy - other times almost non-existent. i started researching this pill because i have gained a lot of weight which i can&#039;t seem to lose. i have swelling especially in my lower leg, ankles, bloating and definite increase in breast size (unwelcomed). i was taking another drug around the same time that could very well be the cause of the weight gain, but i&#039;ve been off of it for over a year and still have not been able to lose the weight. i&#039;ve also experienced vaginitis, which i&#039;ve never had problems with before. doctors don&#039;t seem too concerned."
