I've always had this bleeding problem for as long as i can remember. This new birth control that I'm on? i'M always feeling bloated. My eating and sleeping is the same I guess? but I stepped on two different scales today and i noticed I have gained A LOT!! from October til now has total 25lbs. I've been told different body's has different side effects. The dcotor said one patient of his gained 68 pounds while on this birth control while others dont gain an ounce. Well, my question is i'm beyond paraniod i'm 5'6 and today i weigh 191 pounds thats a lot of body weight.... i've always been a big lady usually it stays within 150-170 pounds. This is a lot in my world. my question is that is it safe? what can i do to keep the # down? if i dont eat can i gain anymore
