I’ve been debating on going on the pill for a while now because I truly don’t want a baby. I’m 21 years old in my junior year of college. My long-term boyfriend and I use condoms religiously and we’ve had the birth control conversation a few times, but now I think I’m ready to go on it.

However, I saw a tweet go viral on Twitter of this young woman claiming birth control pills were poison. Other women were agreeing with her and shared their horror stories (mood swings, depression, weight gain, constant bad moods), which really got me thinking...

Is it really that bad?
