The Pill
I've heard a lot of things about the pill and I wanted to know if they were true.
Does It make your periods more regular?
Does it make your periods lighter/not as painful?
Does it make you gain weight or lose weight?
Does it help clean acne?
Thanks

Yes to all of your questions.
Some people can gain or lose weight on the pill. It all depends on how the pill agrees with your body.

It really depends which Pill you are on. There are lots of different Pills out there and you need to bear in mind that everyone's reactions to different tablets will differ. However, I have been on Microgynon 30 for 3 years and with regard to my experience:
Yes it does make me much more regular. I can actually time when I will come on down to the hour.
My periods have been a lot lighter since I've been on the Pill. However, I must admit the pain levels have increased over the years and the last two or three in particular have been very painful.
It didn't make me gain or lose weight. Some people can gain weight but this is because the Pill can cause them to have an increased appetite. As long as you watch what you eat then you shouldn't notice any change.
I have never really had much of a problem to this date with my skin (touch wood) but I have heard more stories of the Pill causing acne than clearing it. Again though, this depends on the Pill you take and your reaction to it.
The good news is that whatever Pill you take, you can change it if you find that it causes side effects that you do not wish to continue experiencing. Pills can also cause mood swings, headaches, stomach upsets around 'that time of the month' etc etc. However, side effects are not all that common and there is very little point worrying about these things until you have tried it and know how you react.

Birth Control makes your periods regulate so they are only one period a month. NO it dosen't help with making your periods lighter or heavier. Sometimes periods work for the pain but then your body gets immune to them. Birth Control makes you gain weight.

Yes it makes periods more regular and not as painful, and it may clear up acne! But all the others are highly unlikely. The only way it may make you gain weight is the pill may cause you to retain more fluidss, and then if you go on a certain type of pill cause there are many kinds, there is one made to make your period shorter/lighter. hope i helped!

Yes, i heard it does all of these. But, it can either make you lose or gain weight. That just depends.
Good luck
