birth control
"I have read negative reviews about the pill and it made me afraid to try it. Now I've come here and read negative reviews about the shot that I had a pretty good experience with. The pros for me was the shot stopped my period for years and I loved it. I only had to take it every three months. I don't recall having any mood swings. The cons were the weight I gained. I was always at 120 since junior high school. But about six months after being on the shot when I was about 24 years old I picked up a ton of weight.  I went from 120 to 160 in two years of being on it. when I stopped taking the shot, the transition was painful but I lost weight. I want to try the pills to avoid weight gain."
