Birth Control
"I&#039;m 26, first birth control pills I&#039;ve ever used. I&#039;m on my fourth month, getting close to starting the fifth pack. Pros thus far: no breast tenderness (they did increase in size), no acne (skin actually cleared up), no weight gain (I&#039;m very active to begin with), no nausea or headaches, much lighter periods (prior to the pill, my periods were heavy enough where both a pad and a tampon were needed... Now a tampon alone is good enough!)
Cons: ever since starting it, I&#039;ve been having two periods a month.. 15 day cycle and it&#039;s about two days longer than period prior to taking this pill. The pros definitely outweigh the con, but I can&#039;t stand having two periods a month!"
