Im noticing how the pill affects women im so many different ways. I've been on it for about half a year now, and my periods used to be so heavy, I would be scared to go to school in case i might leak, but on the pill, i don't worry as much. Plus, I haven't experienced any weight gain, except in my boobs, which is great since i was once apart of the itty bitty titty committee ! Honestly, RESEARCH !! There are so many different pills that affect everyone's body in different ways
