"I am 23 and have been on this pill for two years. My doctor gave me this pill for me for pelvic pain. When I started it, it helped with the pain almost immediately. My periods were much lighter and cramps were nowhere near as bad as they were. I gained a cup size in the first couple months which was nice. However I gained about 10lbs in about 3 or 4 months and another 5 by the end of the year. It is impossible to lose that weight while on this pill. I exercise continuously and the week of my period (placebo pills) I lose around 3 to 4lbs and before I can lose more I have to start a new pack and I gain it back. I also feel like I have an extra &quot;layer&quot; all over especially my hips and tummy. I also eat when I am full because of crazy food cravings."
