Birth Control
"I was on the shot for 5 years. Yes, I know to long. Now I am 40 lbs overweight cause of it. It&#039;s driving me crazy because I&#039;ve always been an athletic, fit person, but after I gave birth to a special needs son, I needed something that I didn&#039;t have to think about for awhile. I exercised, I diet nothing worked. I got a new doctor. I am now on my second week of the patch. I have to say I have never been more emotional in my life, and the breast tenderness is crazy. Today is the day I was supposed to have returned to get another shot so I&#039;m hoping these side effects are due to doubling up on birth control for 2 weeks and things will even out. "
