birth control
"I have been on Loestrin 24 for about 6 months now and I am going crazy.  I have been a huge activist for the Nuvaring and was on in for about 28 years but had to switch because my insurance wouldn't cover non-oral contraceptives.  Annoying already!  During my first three months I missed all periods and stared to notice I was gaining weight.  Being 5'1'' and always about 112 pounds any weight is very noticeable.  I finally had my period during the fourth month but it only lasted for 2 days. During the last two months and now up 8 pounds.  Going to planned parenthood and back to the Nuvaring."
