"so, i&#039;m going to begin with my first birth control... beyaz. i was taking it for about 6 months until i realized it made me bat shit crazy. other than than i had no weight gain at all and i felt like my normal self. my doctor switched me to loestrin so that it would make my mood &quot;better&quot; and it did, i&#039;ll give it that. until one day, i noticed i was feeling a little pudgy... it was about mid october 2015 so i stepped on the scale to see. i was right. i gained 15 pounds in 3 months from 125-140 and when i got off of it, it completely jacked up my already irregular cycle. so here i am, 8 months later, waiting to have another period and still not able to lose the weight. (i just recently began seeing a doctor about these issues)"
