Birth Control
"Started when I was 22, now almost 25. When I first started, I would bleed lightly for about a month. After a while, cramps weren&#039;t so bad. I&#039;d have a few lighter ones the week before my period and during and after. Not like the extreme ones I had before where I wanted to die. Definitely worked in preventing pregnancy, even without using condoms unless it&#039;s the week of placebo pills. I used to be very small, a size 0 (24inch) pants, I was probably a size 1 or 3 when I started the pill. Now I&#039;m size 10 (30inch) pants, or bigger. I can&#039;t fit into any jeans. I&#039;ve questioned whether I&#039;m pregnant multiple times because of the weight, but I&#039;ve taken tests that came out negative. 3 months in a row I didn&#039;t get my period. Emotional, bad mood swings."
