When I finally mentioned it, I was pretty mad when he replied, "Oh, yes! This pill DOES get that complaint a bit more than others." 
OMG. That is so irritating. College health services was always awful about that. When I was in college, they'd recommend the pill to everyone. You'd go in and be like "My toe hurts," and they'd say "Are you pregnant?" My friend, who is very clearly a lesbian, used to get the question all the time. ?? Grrrr.
I took the pill for a few months when I was in law school. Never again. I'm a freak about my weight, and the GYN assured me that any weight gain would be minimal and would probably just be the result of being in a stable relationship. . Horsesh*t.
I gained about 15 pounds and I was powerless to take it off until I stopped taking the pill. I was exercising more and more and eating less and less--and it just didn't matter. When I went back to the doctor--she was like, "Oh, that happens sometimes." WTF? I'd been very open that I was a weight freak and couldn't deal--so she'd just kept that part to herself. I stopped seeing the doctor, stopped taking the pill, and lost the weight in two months.
We just use condoms now.
Also, I know the pill has lower doses of estrogen now than it did years and years ago--but it freaks me out. This isn't a scientific study or anything, but a bunch of my friends who took the pill from age 14 or 15 on (and are now 28-35) are having a helluva time getting pregnant. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I don't trust anything when it comes to the pill now.
