birth control
"I have been on Junel for a year and 1 month.  I love everything about it except the weight gain.  I have always struggled with my weight and I have gained about 15-20 pounds in a year.  HOWEVER, it is the only bad side effect.  My periods are super light, much like spotting, and only lasts a few days.  My cramps are about the same, mostly in my back and legs but taper off as my period continues.  This month I actually had NO PERIOD!  My mood swings have actually calmed down a bit and I feel great taking the pills.  I do not see me coming off the pills anytime soon!  I have United HealthCare and it completely covered the birth control, even the co-pay."
