i did not gain weight—that is not a guaranteed side effect. if you’re seriously that worried about it, just take note of what you’re eating everyday (but don’t go crazy). my gyno told me that you can’t gain a significant amount weight unless you’re actually eating more, so you can watch that more cautiously if you’re worried. as for depression, i actually feel a lot better now. i feel like my mood has been totally stabilized and feel a lot less anxious. feel free to dm me!

i have to take an antidepressant too and i gained a lot of weight and it's hard to lose it. i only really take it bc of my dysmenorrhea but it hasn't rly been helping recently. plus there's a lot abt how it's causing cancer rn i guess idrk. see if you can get the implant maybe? i'm not sure of ur exact situation. i hope this maybe helps😭🥹

I am already morbidly obese so it was chill. also you get fat and potentially postpartum depression sooooo take the pill and experience those things without a baby

my doctor told me about the cancer thing too! so scary! and my biggest fear is literally gaining weight and effects in mood like depression and anxiety. im not sure how similar dysmenorrhea and pcos are but i’ll definitely keep it in mind! :)
