Good luck.  |
Ditto this. One birth control pill I was on years ago made me gain over 10 pounds in a month, to the point I couldn't button any of my pants, and for one week of that month I had had a stomach flu, ate nothing, and threw up whatever I ate. The pill I was on last year, on the other hand, did not make me gain any weight at all. It just made me crazy.  |
