birth control
"The first 3 or 4 days I had some bad nausea and I did notice a little bloating, but both faded quickly.  I did not gain any weight - I have actually lost 5 pounds since starting it, but I also have been making healthier eating choices and I exercise a few times a week.  My only complaint is that it made me spot bleed throughout the first month, which was annoying, and I have become a little more emotional but it's nothing serious - and that happens with most birth control pills, anyways. My doctor says the spot bleeding is just something you need to tough out, and if you can, it gets much better after the first few months. Overall, I would recommend this pill - as long as you're willing to stick it out through the first month!"
