birth control
"I have been on Loestrin for about three years now and all in all it's not a bad pill. One thing I would have to say though that I hate about this pill is the weight gain. In the first six months of this pill I gained 25 pounds! I was always a skinny girl, so you can imagine how awful it is in six months to go from a size three in pants to a size eleven. After that I have not gained any weight, though it has been very hard trying to lose the 25 pounds. More things that I've noticed that I haven't liked are mood swings at least a week before my period, tender breasts, and irregular periods. It's been two years for me on this pill and I will go three months sometimes without having a period. Aside from the rapid weight gain this pill is okay."
