"i&#039;m on this birth control about 6 months. i gained about 14 lbs already and my weight keep growing. my diet is still healthy and low on carbs, my physical activity is normal. i didn&#039;t experience significant increase of appetite but i suspect it affects metabolism. my previous pill was ok i managed to lose some weight due to lower appetite but this one apparently not the same. i also had some unexpected minor bleeding in the middle of a cycle. my skin got slightly better and no mood swings but uncontrollable weight grow is scary."
