| 1 | pregnancy prevention | In spite of the fact that I am a marathon runner and eat a very healthy diet, I gained weight while taking this pill. I believe is most of the weight gain is water retention, as even my face got kinda puffy and my shoes do not fit right. My breasts hurt, which makes running very uncomfortable - that was a show stopper for me. I was also cranky as hell - borderline homicidal, even. I am usually a very mellow and upbeat person. I have decided to discontinue taking this pill, and seek other alternatives. | F | 37 | 14 days 1X D | 3/10/2010 | ||
