I used birth control pills for years & years and I gained the weight and had all the horrible mood swings and head aches. It wasn't worth all the pain. The best thing I ever did was to stop using any pills for birth control and just carefully monitor my periods. Sounds old fashioned but it worked for me. Granted, I was happily married and OK if I got pregnant...but that never happened. Guess I wasn't meant to have kids. Happily, I feel so much healthier now. This post won't help those of you who want the ease of a pill or ring. But the rhythem method does work if you learn to watch your mucus and the calendar.
