Birth Control
"Pros: Periods were lighter, cramps hardly existed, not pregnant.  I got on the pill for these reasons. So, yes it worked for that. In addition, I lost about 27 pounds. However, CONS: I was SUPER depressed and that depression hit hard. I&#039;ve always been a happy, outgoing person, but Ocella made me upset at random times and now that I&#039;m off it, my period is heavier than before and the cramps are worse. I&#039;ve also gained weight since going off the pill. I&#039;m 18, 5&#039;7, 189 lbs. I would not recommend it. Of course there was the noticeable decline in sex drive, but that didn&#039;t bother me much."
