I haven't yet started on this drug yet, I'm waiting for it to be sent to me from the city still and was supposed to be starting two months ago.. I just had to go through my wedding depressed at my weight gain and yeah, hear different outcomes from this drug. Be nice to know how things go for you since we're in the same age bracket. I'm 24 and am hoping to be starting this drug next week. One question for anyone out there.. Does it reduce cramps and actually regulate your cycle? My endorchronologist seemed hesitant to give it to me two months ago because of me getting married and being sexually active. Didn't seem to think that condoms would necessarily keep me from getting pregnant cuz I'd be extremely fertile. Just want to know more about this from anyone that knows.
