birth control
"I am 19 years old and have been on Microgestin for 5 months. This has been the worst experience of my life. The worst side effect I have had is the weight gain. I have been the same weight and size for years. I've never had to buy new jeans or clothes because of them not fitting me. Over these 5 months I have put on 15 or more pounds. Going up about 3 pant sizes. I have also had muslce aches, low sex drive, hot flashes, major change of appetite, emotional breakdowns, minor anxiety attacks, and so on. 

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Stear far away from this birth control."
