Birth Control
"I was put on the birth control because I had a very large fibroid that caused me to have a blood transfusion.  This pill saved my life until I was able to have surgery.  The only   negative thing I experienced was a little weight gain (no more than 10 lbs).  My periods went from extremely heavy lasting 7 days, to very light only lasting 2 and a half days, to staying completely off.  And for someone who was dangerously anemic, I&#039;ll take not having a period!"
