"i hated this birth control. i was on it for about 6 months until i finally realized how much it was effecting my everyday life. it was the first type of birth control i had tried so i wasn&#039;t sure what to expect. but i was at the point where i was bleeding everyday. my mood swings were off the wall and i gained at least 15lbs in a span of that 6 months. i was exercising and eating the same, which is why i know the birth control caused this. right when i got off of it, all of those symptoms went away."
