birth control
"It was very effective & I didn't experience ANY weight gain (I lost weight). My periods were short/light & it was nice not having to remember to take the pill everyday. I DID experience more PMS (also known as random crying), tiredness, dizziness, and light bleeding between periods. I heard your body starts to adjust to these symptoms after a while though, but I got too nervous about not getting my period every month, so I switched back to the pill. If you're on the fence, remember, every person is different, so why not give it try? It's only for 3 months at a time. You can always switch back to normal birth control if you have any issues."
