birth control
"I like it. For me it's a trade off. I had very heavy cycles the first two months. After my body adjusted (about 4 months) I went from three days of light bleeding to literally having what felt like a 3 HOUR period every 28 days. Now I have no bleeding at all. This took a total of 7 months to even out. The cons for me: headaches, cystic acne, and weight gain. I INCREASED my exercise as advised by my doctor because of possible weight gain and gained 20 pounds. I still go through cramps and PMS and the constant headaches are a pain. The Pros for me, the gym, the gym, the gym, No more kids! No more tampons! I'll keep it."
