Deciding to get off birth control or not

Alex

Okay so I’ve been on birth control since I was 13 due to my horrible period but I am now 19 and I really want to get off it but I’m Also a little scared and don’t know how to go about it. I am currently taking the pill junel and I recently switched to a higher dosage about a year ago and I have gained close to 60 pounds and I work out eat healthy and everything and the weight will not come off! And it’s like yes I know the pill is so I don’t get pregnant but now I’m very insecure about my body and I was going to see about changing the birth control type but I don’t believe in not getting your period monthly unless you get your period and I know the other types affect everyone body differently and then I’m scared about if my period is gonna be bad again so I’m very stuck at the moment and I need help badly!
