What happenes to your body when you start talking the pill? Is it worth it?

Question

I am thinking of starting to take it but I am afraid of getting extra cellulite, fat, acne etc.. Help!

Answer

Birth control is different for every person. Example: my bestfriend started birth control and she didn't gain any weight, her complexion never changed, her mood swings were normal for her, her period got lighter, and her cramps were miniscule. Poster child for the positives of birth control. Me however, totally different. I gained maybe 3 lbs (not too bad, my complexion never really had any problems but I would break out a little before my period started, my mood swings were fire and ice at the snap of your fingers (I couldn't go out cause if something went wrong I'd flip), my periods got heavier, had more clots than normal, and longer (birth control only regulated my periods, I was never late or early), my cramps were already bad before I started birth control and they just got worse, I couldn't get out of bed without being in tears.

My bestfriend eats fastfood and junk food and never works out, drinks soda all day and smokes. Before I started birth control I started eating healthier, did some light exercises, drank water all day, and stopped smoking.

You'll never know how birth control effects you until you're on it

Answer

No. It's not. Don't waste your time. Look at the FAM method if you aren't using any hormones yet and try that before you bother giving yourself artificial periods and unnecessary medicine every month.

Answer

I had no problems with it. It made me lose like five pounds and my periods were shorter and lighter. I think that one is a plus for me lol

Answer

I started taking it many years ago for acne. It cleared my skin up and my periods were much better - shorter and a lighter flow.

Answer

Nothing huge has happened for me. I don't get acne from it, no mood swings. Flow is a lot lighter too, although I do get areas of dry skin all over my body and that's really irritating.

Answer

It may actually help with those problems. I was on one that kept my complexion clear and I kept weight and obtained curves (with exercise)  like I never imagined. I was also on one that made me gain weight and broke me out. It depends on the pill and your hormones. Lol
