A member asked:

Should i go on birthcontrol pills? im scared i will end up getting fat and i have heard bad things about birth control pills.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Better than: An unwanted pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about a trial of the pill. There are no permanent side effects, and you can decide for yourself if the pill fits into your lifestyle.
