birth control
"I am starting my third pack of this pill.  I am conflicted regarding it because it has reduced my anxiety and levelled my emotions wonderfully, but at the cost of having six day periods with only seven days of no period in between the next one.  I'm having two periods a month and I'm getting quite annoyed with having to buy tampons constantly.   The periods are not what I would consider breakthrough bleeding as they are not light and require extra absorbent tampons for the first few days.

I believe I have increased hunger and water retention on this pill as well.  I have gone from a stable 129lbs to 136lbs.

I am so happy with how level and calm I am on it...but fourteen days of bleeding a month is a steep price to pay for it."
