"i will give this birth control a 5/10 for the simple fact that i did not get pregnant for the 2 years i was on it. but i gained probably about 50 lbs (with no change in my eating habits and i&#039;m even more active), my boyfriend complained about my mood swings, i bled for majority of the time whether it was heavy or light...i just couldn&#039;t deal. i wish i came off of it earlier but i enjoyed not being at risk for pregnancy. i got it taken out today and i can&#039;t wait to get back to normal."
