birth control
"I was on this pill for almost 7 years straight.  I had zero issues with side effects. No mood swings, nausea, depression or changes in appetite.  Sex drive was the same if not increased.  I had fluctuated with weight on this pill but it was because of bad diets.  I ended up loosing the weight with proper eating habits and exercise.  The problem I have with this pill is that towards the end of my time on it I started getting break through bleeding.  IT IS ANNOYING.  Otherwise this pill is perfect for me.  I went off the pill for a few years and went back on to this because of ovarian cysts.  After a few months the breakthrough bleeding still came back.  Sometimes it's so light I don't notice, other times it's like having a second period."
