birth control
"I started taking birth control because my doctor recommended it as a way to increase my bone density. As a 19 year old, having extremely brittle bones posed a problem, as it was preventing me from being active. I was told I had to take an estrogen supplement, or I would face frequent fractures for the rest of my life. I have not had a good experience on this pill. I constantly felt nauseous for the first month, and then felt really bloated. I feel like I have been bloated for the past 3 months and it won't go away. I also have felt really tired and irritable. I get bad migraines now when I'm on my period and feel really sluggish. On the positive side, my bone density is increasing and I haven't had a single fracture since I started the pill"
