As far as getting your girlfriend on the pill...do it! If the weight gain issue bothers her, ponder this: how much weight does one gain from pregnancy? That would make even the most weight-conscious girl rethink her anti-pill stance. I personally gained 5 lbs, but then lost it back and then some once I started exercising and watching my diet. Nothing too extreme, just good ol' healthy eatin'. Tell her to avoid salt and drink lots o' H20 and cut out the sodas. That's what I did, which is good health advice regardless. Just do not go on "the shot" because that stuff makes you gain at least 15 lbs and from what I heard once you go off it you bleed incessantly. But please be safe!!!
