Birth Control
"I am 18 and have been on this for nearly a year now, and originally started this due to severe period cramps that became unbearable. It makes them less severe, but I still have them but it&#039;s bearable now. The only side effect is the breast pain and swelling. I get sore before the placebo week and my breasts have gone up literally 2 cup sizes, at first it was ok but now it&#039;s annoying. I haven&#039;t gained weight and I think I&#039;ve lost weight instead so that&#039;s a plus considering the breast increase. For birth control it works well, just the breast soreness and delayed period on the placebos caused worry for a while, but now I know it&#039;s just the pill. Overall it works good and I&#039;ll continue to take it!"
