"i&#039;ve had a horrible experience with this birth control. it was my first time going on birth control so my doctor recommended gildess. i gained over 20 pounds in 5 months. i had a decrease in sex drive. i also had horrible mood swings, not just while i was pms&#039;ing but all the time. i actually just stopped taking birth control because i hated the way it made me feel. if anyone has any recommendations for me that will make me feel a little better, i would appreciate it. this was the worst birth control though."
