Birth Control
"I initially hated this medication because it made me bloated and constipated due to all the iron.  I&#039;m very health conscious so it was a bit unnerving to suddenly gain 5 pounds (I generally stay the same weight).  But once I started my fourth pill pack, it seems like a lot of the side effects subsided.  I also haven&#039;t had any periods, which I&#039;m totally fine with.  Other positive side effects: Am not pregnant. My hair is thicker (I had a very stressful year that made my hair fall out). Skin is better, though I&#039;ve never really had acne.  My advice if taking this pill is to drink plenty of water, watch your salt intake, and be patient."
