If you end up pregnant, you're going to gain more weight than the pills would EVER cause you to gain.

Oh, and TMI about your boyfriend and you being fiends.

So true. My personal opinion is that any girl who is having sex (with her bf, randoms, whomever) needs to be on the pill or protecting herself in some way.

I've heard so many excuses from girls my age who aren't on the pill because "they don't want to get fat/it gives them headaches/etc." I think to myself, a baby is going to cause you more headaches than the entire pack of pills combined.

I totally agree! I was off the patch for 6 months then went on the ring, and those 6 months were so scary, even using condoms, i had a complication and didn't get my period for 3 months, and i was absolutely terrified. it turned out that it was b/c of the patch, but I immediately went on the ring, and will definately always be on BC.

You know what feels great? Knowing that I am doing everything in my power to keep my current lifestyle without worrying about a baby!

Not to mention STDs, AIDS?
