Birth Control
"I&#039;m 19 and this is my first time being on any type of contraceptive and I read so many horror stories about it, that I was terrified about taking it. I started it the day I started my period, which was 8 days ago. I have a pretty heavy flow--super plus tampons every 2-3 hours. Even the first period on the pill was much lighter and only lasted three days. My skin has cleared up a lot and it&#039;s very smooth, which I haven&#039;t had in so many years. I take the pill at 8 PM and the first few days on the pill, I would go to sleep and wake up being hungrier than usual, but that&#039;s passed already. I haven&#039;t gained any weight &amp; my breast size hasn&#039;t increased &amp; isn&#039;t tender. I&#039;ve had a slight increase in vaginal discharge, but nothing too drastic."
