birth control
"*Best Things: no periods at all and SUPER effective. Very low risk of pregnancy, even without using condoms. Gained a little weight but very little compared to the pill, almost no bloating.



*Worst Things: After first six months I had horrible acne, and it was everywhere. My back, my chest, my face. So severe I needed acne medication and I'm in my mid-20's and rarely had acne before that. After two years I realized it was almost impossible to shed pounds. My sex drive was gone completely and I had a sort of numb, depression feeling most of the time. 



After 3 years I had it removed, my mood and sex drive sky-rocketed almost instantly. Been off for 4 months and all acne is gone."
