"i really don&#039;t understand the negativity this birth control has. i started this in july 2016 and have had pretty much a standard experience in terms of taking bc. this isn&#039;t the first bc i&#039;ve been on, but it&#039;s definitely the best. i suffer from pmdd so this bc is a life-saver. no longer am i on the floor in crippling pain, unable to move and/or walk. my periods are a lot lighter, as is the cramps/back&amp;breast aches associated with it. &amp; i don&#039;t understand &#039;this birth control made me gain weight!&#039; it&#039;s been proven that birth control isn&#039;t the cause of weight gain. i&#039;m still the size i&#039;ve always been. i did, however, gain two cup sizes but shopping for cute bras is okay with me. it does it&#039;s job; unprotected sex with the fiance &amp; not preggo."
