Birth Control
"Heavy bleeding and intense cramping were my primary concerns for starting birth control and since I still bled heavy on my first pill I was switched to Yaz. The good is that the mild acne I did have is now non-existent, no more cramps, and my cycle is the lightest it&#039;s ever been. I can actually *want* to do more than stay in bed during my cycle. The bad is the random spotting. Theoretically it&#039;s caused by not taking the pill at the same time everyday but I keep a pretty tight schedule so it sucks. The mood swings are also discouraging.  I feel myself getting mad or either sad about literally anything more often now. I&#039;ve also picked up about 10 lbs despite the same eating habits and activity level."
