Birth Control
"I have to take it because I can&#039;t take the regular birth control pills with estrogen. It&#039;s nice in the fact that I only get my period once every 3-6 months, but that can also make me a bit paranoid about being pregnant. I&#039;ve just learned to trust the pill and take it perfectly on time. I haven&#039;t made any lifestyle changes, but in the past couple of months I&#039;ve gained about 20 pounds seemingly out of nowhere. Not sure if it&#039;s because I&#039;ve been on the pill for a year now or not, but the timing was strange because I started gaining weight after exactly a year on it. That&#039;s the only reason I didn&#039;t give it a 10. Weight gain aside, my periods are only about three times a year and only 2-4 days when I do get them. So that&#039;s a nice benefit."
