Re: GIRLS ONLY PLEASE!
i think the problem with the internet is that people are prone to share bad experiences rather than good ones. hence it seems like everyone on this pill has a nightmarish time when in reality millions of women use this method of birth control without any adverse effects.
i started the combined pill recently. i was wary and a little scared but you just need to be in tune with your body and monitor changes closely and talk to your doctor if you're worried. i will admit that i had a little bit of nausea and loss of appetite the first 10 days but that was much worse if i took the pill in the morning. if took it at night i would wake up ravenous. i'm fine now so far though.
as far as the weight gain, i think the pill increases appetite for a lot of women, so if you make sure you don't start eating any more than you do now i don't see a problem in regards to that.
some women need to change to a different type of pill or find another method of bc that works for them. you won't know until you start.
