Birth Control
"So I am nearing my 3 years on this birth control. I got it when I was 15 now I&#039;m 18. For the first two years I was constantly bleeding. Then I would have a few weeks off and then a month or so back onto bleeding and so on. I experienced bloating and weight gain that was explainable to me (I was not thinking about the birth control) because I have very high metabolism. I am a self conscious teenager and actually ended up stopping eating out of fear.  When I came on this birth control I wanted to prevent pregnancy and stop my period. Only one of those was achieved. So, while it is a good birth control, I find the side effects too unbearable."
