Ovarian Cysts
"Second month on Sprintec; went on birth control pill because I hadn&#039;t had my period for almost a year (extreme stress, low BMI/hormone levels). Overall it&#039;s been better than expected. I was a bit nauseous the first few days after taking the pill, and initially it killed my appetite. Weeks two and three, I retained water; breasts felt pillowy; appetite went up; felt really tight and uncomfortable. But my period came right on schedule, without any cramps or heavy bleeding. Score!

I&#039;ve gained a few lbs, but it feels/looks like water weight only. I know this will improve as my body adjusts to the hormones, but right now it&#039;s pretty annoying. Otherwise I feel so much more like &quot;myself&quot; than I have in awhile, so I&#039;ll take it."
