birth control
"I've been taking the pill for about 26 days. It's my first time taking birth control.  My doctor put me on it to help regulate my estrogen bursts before my period. So far I've gained 3 pounds every 2 weeks, my face has exploded with acne, my hair seems to be falling out, I get mood swings, I get teary eyed over EVERYTHING, and I get horrible period like cramps. The only good part is, my period is much, much lighter. It lasts a little longer, but I don't mind."
