WEIGHT GAIN!!!! That's just one of them. When I was on it, I gained thirty pounds in one year, I had hot flashes, mood swings, and I was in menopause. It was miserable! My best advice would be to get off of that crap ASAP!!!!!!!!! There are other better forms of birth control out ther, you just have to do some research to see which one is best for you and your bosy. No doctor can tell you what is best for your body, because they don't know it as well as you do. Good luck!

I really only had two side affects. The weight gain and the loss of sex drive.

You will gain upwards of 20-25 pounds in the 1st year.

I had some weight gain about ten pounds, if anything I think my sex drive has increased. It can leach calcium from your bones so you will have to take calcium supplements. Some people have experienced hair loss, I haven't.

I gained weight, lost my sex drive. My doctor took me off of it because she heard it could start early osteoporosis.
