Birth Control
"Concerns about a birth control drug called &quot;Nikki&quot; - the same exact thing as &quot;Gianvi&quot;? Doubt it: Took Gianvi for 4 years and gained 5 lbs. Then my provider switched me to &quot;Nikki&quot;. In 3 months, I lost 15 pounds. Great, right? No, my backside and breasts went flat. I was alarmed, I looked like a boy, like I didn&#039;t have breasts at all. My OBGYN said it could not *possibly* be the drug and that I should go get a blood test and physical. Tests came back normal. Went off Nikki, gained 10 pounds. Gave Nikki another chance to see if it was a fluke. Quickly lost the 10 pounds I&#039;d regained. I looked like I was dying. Went off Nikki again. Gained all 15 pounds of my weight back. Called my OBGYN again. She says it&#039;s a coincidence. I don&#039;t think so."
