Around the same time i was heading out for college, i decided to go on the pill. i have gain a total of almost 30 pounds throughout my entire time in college but gained most my freshmen year. (I do not know if this was the "freshman 15" weight gain or a side effect of starting the pill around the same time)
Four years later, I am really tired of this weight and thought about maybe getting an IUD to see if it would help me lose some weight.
Has anyone else gone off of the pill and straight to the IUD?
I personally don't have any complains about the pill other than the possible weight - I've never had issues with it. It has actually helped me stay regular with my cycles, lightened my periods, helped with cramps and pretty bad acne I had around the time i was 17/18.
This is also one of the things I am scared about... how many of these negatives have people gotten back after they stopped the pill?
