Birth Control
"I am 24 and recently sought out a birth control pill because I will be getting married in March. I was put on Loestrin24 back in December 09. Thankfully I did not read all of the scary internet blogs until afterwards or I probably wouldn&#039;t have tried it. I have not had mood swings (in fact, I feel I am a less moodier person now). It is easy to keep up with and seeing that I am a first time BC user fell in love with knowing when my menstrual cycle would occur. The only negative side effects that have occurred since taking the pill: I gained 10 pounds the first two weeks of taking this pill. I&#039;ve had a hard time shedding those pounds, but at least it has not increased as of yet. Secondly, my boobs hurt like crazy. I can hardly touch them, they are so sore."
