Birth Control
"I took this three times in my life so far (22-24yrs, 25-26, 35-) and it has been the best for me.  I discontinued due to concern for bone density/trying to get pregnant but was careful to excercise/eat well/supplement w D and calcium.  I did not gain weight or have bone loss.  I tried many pill types, combo/mono and triphasic, and was violently ill and threw up bile on the hour on any pill containing estrogen. had depression, swollen breasts and skin darkening on the progesterone only pill, and heartburn and vomiting on all pills.  I feel normal on this, if anything, I possibly lost weight.  thank goodness because it is way better than worrying about an IUD....cramping and perforation and all that."
