"So I’m just going to rate it at a 5 for now. I’ve been on the pill for about 2 weeks now and what I have already noticed was ACNE. I never usually get acne except a few bumps here and there but now I’ve been getting huge pimples. Also my breast are a bit tender but overall I’m just going to keep trying it out and hopefully my hormones will balance."

"I have tried other pills and had crazy mood swings and breakthrough bleeding. I have been taking Cyred for over 1 year now, and I have not had the mood swings. I only had break through bleeding when I was on antibiotics so, I would just be careful when on antibiotics. I have not had an issue with acne either, and I have oily/combination skin and work as a fry cook and deli clerk. This has been the BEST pill for me so far! Mostly because I don't get crazy mood swings on it, and I am a very emotional person to start with...I also haven't gotten pregnant on it. I have always struggled with anxiety and depression but won't take any traditional medicine for it. The pill does not seem to make any significant impact on my emotions. I only get super emotional when I am on the week I get my period. I take natural suppliments for anxiety/depression if I am having a bad day, but the pill itself has not made my condition any worse"

"I absolutely hate this birth control. Before I switched to this I had been on Tri Linyah (Ortho tri cyclen) for 5 years and it was great! However I wanted to switch to a new pill because I felt breast tenderness more often and I wanted the ability to be able to skip my period (my old pill had different dosages each week which made this difficult). I went on Cyred and my skin has been awful from the beginning (like so bad), my boobs are still very sore, and I experience nausea constantly. I'm currently just stopping this pill even though I haven't been a day without BC since I was 15. I am abroad right now and I am tired of what this pill is doing to me.. can't wait to visit a doctor back home to get my old pill back or start IUD"

"I’ve been taking Cyred birth control for a little over a month and the largest side effect for me is acne. I usually never get acne but now I do. Occasional mood swings and depression but that might be just me. I take it at night so I don’t feel nauseous during the day. I was only nauseous for the first week or two. I haven’t had any other side effects with it."

"Do not get me wrong. I LOVED this pill. Cyred was the only pill I’ve taken that didn’t give me side effects of making me depressed, retain water, make me gain an unhealthy amount of weight etc.. I was happy as a clam. The only thing that drove me nuts is any last bit of libido I had.... GONE. Also, I had brown discharge coming out for two months. Only time I didn’t have brown discharge was during sex. It stained all my undies, even my cute ones. :( I’ve had to wear a tampon everyday. I really wish things were different with this pill cuz I loved it, just wish I had libido and healthy looking discharge. :("

"Took this as pregnancy prevention but mostly because I had really bad acne. I changed my routine and took this birth control and now my skin is clear. Only negative is lately it causes me to be bloated almost 24/7! I’m almost positive it is from this birth control. I’m very sad to have these symptoms after 2 years on it Im switching to IUD. I also gained about 10 lbs (not in my boobs unfortunately:/)."

"I have been taking Cyred EQ for a bit over 3 months now, which is how much time you should allow yourself to become adjusted to new hormones (unless side affects are unbearable, of course) Also, take in to consideration that everybody responds to hormones differently. What works wonders for some may cause hell for others. This is just my own personal experience, take note that yours could be completely different. Within a few weeks of beginning Cyred EQ, I noticed more acne breakouts on my face, neck, chest, & back. In addition to the acne, my breasts became increasingly tender (also may have grown a bit?) & I did not experience much relief with the unbearable cramps that I tend to get. On the other hand, I did not notice any weight fluctuations or significant mood changes. Spotting was very minimal after getting used to the hormones, & the flow of my period was very light. Overall, Cyred EQ has worked relatively well for me, despite a few annoying side affects."

"I have been using this birth control for about a year now. From the very beginning, I would have the worst mood swings. At first, I thought it was just my body getting used to the pill, and then after a few months, I thought maybe it was just me. But here we are a year later, I get constant acne in places I never had before, I am a college track athlete so I run and workout every single day and I have gained 16 pounds since last year. I get horrible anxiety, mood swings, and cry almost every day over small things."

"I’ve been using Cyred since 2017, and it definitely works because I’m not pregnant. It’s an amazing pill but don't get me wrong. The side effects that I’ve experienced are weight gain, sore breast, and my libido drive went away, I did manage my libido drive, but it does gets some time to get regulated with the pill. Besides that, it has cleared up my acne and has allowed me to not have any periods (instructed by doctor) I 100% recommend."

"I have taken the Cyred birth control on and off for a few month, I started taking it for a month and it went really well then I stopped for a couple months and now have been taking it nonstop for almost a month. I've been spotting dry blood non stop but it's not too terrible and my breasts are tender and have gotten bigger. I'm able to eat more which is nice because I usually have poor appetite. My acne has gotten a little worst but I'm sure it'll get better once my hormones regulate."

"I've been on this birth control a month and a half. The most bothersome side effect is my breast soreness. It even hurts to hug. No migraines or skin issues. I eat well and have been working out a lot so I actually lost weight. I do get nauseous and loss of appetite occasionally but I am able to skip my period which is great . I did spot a bit after skipping two periods so I took the placebos just to balance my body out. I have way less menstrual pain than normal . I'm going to stay on at least 3 months to see if the breast tenderness goes away!"

"I just started Cyred and I went on it to not get pregnant and to regulate my period and help with my acne. I have only been on it for a week so far. And my skin has been pretty much the same my acne isn’t terrible but still have a pimple here and there which I’m not complaining. But I didn’t start feeling the side effects till the end of the week. I already struggle with headaches and got a minor headache on my 8th day in so I just took Advil. And then on the 9th day I threw up in the morning due to the birth control. I’m not quite sure why bc I take it at night after I eat. So I’m going to try and stick it out for as long as I can but if I continue to get nauseous and throw up I will switch to something else."

"I'm 18 and just got on this over a month ago. For the first couple weeks I had sore breasts and I got nauseous at times. Threw up in my mouth once. But the rest actually wasn’t too bad"

"I’ve tried two other kinds of bc pills and Cyred is the only one that doesn’t make me depressed, the only down side is it made my boobs sore in the first three months."

"Cyred is my perfect birth control. I don’t gain or lose weight, I don’t have bad side effects, and it does as advertised. Super pleased with it."
