birth control
"I bled, oh did I bleed. I had baseball sized clots falling out of me. For months. Let that sink in. Got through that and started having irregular periods, never knew how long they'd last or how heavy they'd be. They'd go away for a day or two and come back full force. No big deal. I had a long standing boyfriend and we dealt with it. The weight gain...oh lord. I gained close to 40 pounds in a year, despite being on a ketogenic diet and working out. I couldn't shed it. I hated it. Then came the mood swings. When I say mood swings, I mean it felt like I wasn't even being treated for my Bipolar (which was controlled for over a year btw). I was scared of myself, others were scared of me. 

I'm done. Being removed 12/28!!! Couldn't be happier."
