Co-signed, re: weight. I had to drag people with me to gyn to convince them to let me try contraceptives that stop ovulation because I can't get my weight to stay put where I left it (at home, sedentary, np. traveling or exercises? ...no.). Being on the watch for blood clots (that are NOT in the family history) versus being Very Much In Pain for two weeks a month was in my opinion an easy question.
