"this is my second month using reclipsen. i had no problems the first month (no weight gain, no headaches, etc.). now, this month so far i have gained around 2-3 lbs. if i get anywhere close to gaining 10 lbs i am done with this birth control for sure! i just keep trying to weigh my choices. i&#039;ve been pregnant at least 4 times and i gained about 2-3 lbs. with each pregnancy. so, i think gaining a few pounds on birth control is okay compared to gaining it while being pregnant and having a miscarriage. so, yes, i&#039;m okay with the side effects of reclipsen so far."
