endometriosis
"I really thought this was the perfect pill for me. I couldn't tolerate anything with estrogen because of migraines. Plus I was getting really bad PMS and heavy periods. So last October I started this pill. For months it seemed pretty good. I only spotted a bit the first month & my periods seemed better. I had unprotected sex a few times & did not get pregnant either. But exactly 1 year on since taking this pill & I gained 20 pounds-- 20!! This shocked me because most of my clothes still fit & I only thought I gained a few pounds at most. So my body is basically carrying around a massive amount of water weight(!!) which has bad side effects too... I feel bloated & achy all the time, & sadly my PMS is still really bad! So I think I'm done!"
