"not only did i gain ten pounds in just a few months after maintaining a steady weight for years, after a few months the lining of my vaginal walls began to thin making sex really uncomfortable. i also have to get up to pee three times a night on average, which has never happened before and is really inconvenient. in order to combat the heavy periods i was getting after the first month, my doctor put me on junel fe as well, and that seems to be helping, but i had to go on a second form of birth control that required taking a pill daily just because this worked so poorly and had so many side effects. also noticed significant anxiety/hormonal fluctuations at random with zero cause since i&#039;ve been on this."
