birth control
"Great bc you don't get pregnant, but not so great that you retain all weight gain.  No matter how much dieting or exercise, you keep your weight and you may gain some more. I also noticed some thinning of my hair. I've had it in for almost 2yrs. The spotting stops after the first few months and the last few months I've been spotting/period free all together.  Sex drive is totally down too- never in the mood.  But if you can handle these side effects, not having to take the pill or deal with other forms of birth control -this is the easiest and best method for me!"
