ovarian cysts
"Without birth control my ovarian cysts would rupture therefore not taking birth control is not an option for me. I was on LO/Ovral before my OB switched me. I had been on it since April 2017. I love having my menstrual cycle every three months. However, I have gained thirty pounds since April. I eat right and exercise an still nothing is helping. I am convinced that its the BC. I am looking into switching! Only having a period four times a year is not worth all this weight gain. Also if I forget one day... then BAM I am bleeding. IT SUCKS"
