birth control
"I started on this pill 5 years ago (at age 20) due to extremely painful cramps that prohibited me from attending class. 
5 years later and I still love it! I went off it once for a few months at one point to see if the pill had caused weight gain; it hadn't. 
I do not get acne outbreaks, I've only had a handful of times where I had to take two due to forgetting the day before, and have overall had a positive experience from this pill. Libido has decreased a bit but that's the cost you pay to not get pregnant.. My cramps are significantly less, perhaps every other month I do feel some pain but it's manageable by over the counter meds, which before was not possible. I'll likely stay on this until starting a family/make the IUD switch"
