Re: GIRLS ONLY PLEASE!
Ok so this is a little personal but im confused.... so i am getting married in august and am starting birth control. I have been reading up on it and its freaking me out. Every kind I read bout has bad reviews. Gaining 15 lbs in one week, 15 day periods, mood swings, depression, etc. I do not want to gain 15 lbs before my wedding! Im considering not even going on it now... Does anyone have any suggestions or has heard good things about a particular brand?
don't believe everything you read. the weight gain associated with BCP's is 5-10 pounds. which won't possibly even happen if you maintian a proper diet and have the normal amount of excercise you usually do. the mood swings are also negligible...there might be PMS, but that's just normal. everyone gets PMS regardless of being on pill or not. i haven't really heard of depression on the pills, so i think you're clear. go for a light pill, it does it's work without filling you up with too many hormones. a friend just went on alesse, and ortho-tricyclen also makes a light pill.
