I've been told to go on the pill by many women in my life (including my lady doctor). Not only am I sexually active, but I have debilitating menstrual cramps/other side effects. (Migraines, extreme fatigue etc) I see all the positives of it but I've always been too afraid because of weight gain. I suffered an eating disorder for years and now I'm finally on track-a very healthy relationship with food. I'm terrified that if I gain an abnormal amount of weight all of my progress may fall apart !! Have any of you ladies had positive or negative experiences with the pill for menstural issues? I'm trying to learn as much as I can before making any decisions
