"i&#039;ve had this birth control in for almost 3 years now, and i have went from 156 lbs to 224 lbs, i never have been a heavy eater. this birth control really makes you gain a lot of weight. it seems like its almost impossible to lose weight on the birth control my weight stays inbetween 225-210 never any lower or any higher. i do the calorie counts, i watch what i eat, i excercise, it just will not go away.  do not put your health at risk it is not worth it"
