"i have been on this birth control going on my second year, i haven&#039;t noticed any weight gain, and i have had very few periods. it was the perfect solution for me because i could never remember to take my oral contraceptive this i don&#039;t have too. i am due to have this out in december of 2017 and i don&#039;t think i will get another one but it has been very nice having minimal periods"
