Birth Control
"This is my first time ever taking birth control of any kind. I&#039;ve been seeing my boyfriend for about 8 months and until about a month and a half ago we used condoms, then I decided to get put on birth control. I&#039;m currently about halfway through my second pack, and things seem to be going pretty well. Probably about the second week of my first pack I had abdominal cramps. Just like period cramps. My breasts also hurt really bad. But both of these symptoms went away within a few days. My period was also shorter and lighter, but my cramps were just as horrible as normal. I haven&#039;t gained any weight, that I know of. I don&#039;t weigh myself weekly so I&#039;m not sure about that. But everything else seems pretty normal."
