"I've been on Isibloom since July. The first two weeks I suffered headaches and at times I felt nauseous. Since I was using this pill to skip my period, I had breakthrough bleeding for a few weeks. However, I decided to have my period this month. Before birth control I had 7 day periods that were quite heavy the first 4 days. Now my period lasted 3 days with light flow. I have not gained any weight, in fact I was able to lose 5 lbs through frequent exercise and somewhat watching my diet. My acne is under control and I rarely have blemishes."

"I have no complaints with this birth control pill Isibloomso far. I tend to be pretty sensitive to medications, but the only symptom I’ve experienced was slightly heightened anxiety for the first week or so. Once I pushed through that, everything went back to normal. My period has also been super light, which is exactly what I wanted since I usually have extremely heavy periods. Don’t let the negative reviews scare you away. This is a pretty good birth control and it’s super affordable."

"I started taking Cyred a year ago for acne, then it got switched to Isibloom by my pharmacist and I did not notice any change in symptoms on isibloom. I had very bad acne for 10 years and this COMPLETELY cleared my skin. However, my breasts are so tender, I have cramping throughout the month (sometimes it’s continuous and sometimes it will be a random moment of intense cramping and then it will stop) and spotting can sometimes occur for weeks at a time which is extremely frustrating. I also have noticed that I am not interested in sex AT ALL. Not even interested in kissing my partner. For these reasons, I am switching to a different birth control, but if that has the same side effects I will return to using this one because the clear skin ultimately outweighs the negative side effects for me."

"On Month three of Isibloom and it works! Not pregnant and my boyfriend finishes inside most of the time. I’ll be honest first month was awful, the nausea was bad and headaches. But once my body got adjusted it was fine! I do get the headaches a tad bit, but would rather have that rather than worried about an unexpected pregnancy. It works ! I would say to try it for 3 months before switching."

"No problem with pill been on for 5 months since starting my breast use to hurt everyday they just stopped hurting (They use to hurt around time of period) . Haven’t had a period since starting the pill no cramps I do get bloated some times. Only thing is I’ll eat then I’ll get hungry like 10 mins later lol , gives me the munchies but I don’t munch I have also lost weight being on pill. I pay out of pocket 19.99 for 4 packs so not bad on price either!"

"I just started month three of Isibloom and until today the only side effect was me being a little more moody. I awoke this morning in severe pain and was seen in the emergency room. I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in my lungs) caused by my birth control. I now have to be on blood thinners for a minimum of six months. I have always been a very healthy person and am only 22 years old."

"I have been on Isibloom for 2 months now. The first few weeks were rough. I was nauseous and had tender breast, and as of today the tender breast are still happening. I haven't had any weight gain. It has lighten my cycle, which is only 2 days now. For the most part isibloom is great once you get back your body adjusting to the hormones."

"I’m 18 and was prescribed Isibloom using an online birth control provider. I’m currently on my second pack and I don’t really have much complaints. My emotions haven’t varied all that much, although some days I am definitely moodier, but it’s not to an extreme. I have had no adverse side effects, maybe I feel a little hungrier at times. My period has lightened up a bit— I used to have a 5 day period, now it’s down to 3 and it’s very light with minor cramps. No pregnancy scares either so the I can confirm that the pill is effective. Overall, I like Isibloom and it seems to work for me."

"This is THE WORST pill I’ve ever been on. I took it for 11 days, and on the 12th, I had forgotten to take it until it was well past 24 hours. That day made me realize just what this pill had done. The past week and a half is just a haze of unimaginable mood swings (I’m usually laid-back and calm, I cried at least twice daily and even once got so crazy I SCREAMED at my husband). I was sick to my stomach every night and threw up on three of the days. I had some kind of headache, whether small or almost migraine, DAILY. I couldn’t keep my contacts in all day because my eyes felt dry and irritated. That night (after forgetting my pill that morning), my husband mentioned I may be getting used to the pill and it’s side effects, as I was my usual self. So I haven’t taken another. I have an appointment with my doctor to figure out something different, I DO NOT recommend this pill for anyone."

"I just started Isibloom almost a month ago. This is my first birth control and it hasn't been bad for me really. Other than I've been super emotional. And tired more frequent. My sex drive has increased since starting it. The only thing I haven't liked so far is that my emotions now live on my sleeve. I haven't had my period yet since I started Isibloom... I would definitely recommend it as a first time birth control."

"So I used to be on Chateal, but after my insurance coverage ended, I started using The Pill Club. I have hormonal acne. When I did start birth control, my skin was GLOWING, I mean like youtube skincare guru glowing. When I started Isibloom in Sep, it was ok, but I was getting HUGE zits. A month into using isibloom and I started experiencing these huge acne build ups. Literally cystic acne. They hurt so much and took 3+ weeks to go away. It was so painful. Not only that, but I was experiencing huge mood swings. 1-2 months in & I was literally crying to work about absolutely nothing. I would also break down really easily over stressful things. This birth control also reduced my sex drive to zero. Stayed on this for 3 whole months and literally nothing improved, only got worse. Switched and literally within a WEEK, I stopped experiencing mood swings and depression, sex drive came back, and my forehead no longer has huge mountains."

"I got prescribed this, I am 25 and have 3 children already. I gave myself a year and some months break from birth control since I was not sexually active but decided I needed to get on the pill because I started seeing someone and because I heard it could help with acne. So far, I am ten days in and I started on the first day of my period, it instantly made my period lighter and shorter by day 3 I was only spotting and by day 4 my period ended usually I have longer heavier periods. I have felt some nausea but I didn't actually throw up, I drank a lot of water and made sure to eat something before taking it. I do feel a little shaky at for an hour after taking it but it goes away. I hope I haven't jinxed myself but after reading all the bad reviews I thought I'd share my good review on it."

"I have been on Isibloom since 2010. I don’t have a period so I have no cramps or bloating. There were no side effects such as mood swings or weight gain for me personally. This is the best birth control."

"I am 39 and started isibloom about 2 weeks ago. The only thing I noticed seems to be getting hungry more often. I could not say if it is the pill or just me not eating enough on a daily basis. Either way, no migraines, no acne, no body ache. Everything is good!"

"I was initially really scared to start this brand of birth control because all of its negative reviews. But as a broke college student who had already paid for the medication, I figured might as well give it a try. I take my medication at 7 PM every night. I haven’t felt any nausea or pains so far (I’m on my third pack). I have experienced some weight gain in my breast and hips but nothing crazy. I would suggest trying this out if you can but be aware that everyone is different and everyone’s body is different. 8/10 for me."

"I’m on my 4 week with this birth control Isibloom. (The placebo week) The only side effect symptoms I’ve had thus far are breast enlargement, like my breast are seriously a cup and a half size bigger within a week. I’m not complaining though because I didn’t feel any pain or tenderness. Secondly, the 1st week on the pill, I literally felt nothing during sex with my BF. Luckily that was only ONE time. Since that week, my sex drive was back to normal. I also had mild chest pain/shortness of breath my first 2 weeks but that went away. Those are the 3 symptoms I’ve experienced within the first 3weeks of this BC. I’m in the 4th now & got my period- it was SUPER light & no cramps at all so I am very happy. I usually get my period for 5-6days but with taking this BC, it hasn’t definitely shortened my period, the amount of blood flow in a day & reduced cramps."

"I’ve only been on Isibloom for 8 days. I’m taking it for acne more than I am for actual birth control. The reason why I’m writing this is because in just a few days my mood swings have been INSANE. I have gotten this random anxiety that feels very intense and scary. I normally do not get anxiety or mood swings like this at all, but I get these sudden rushes of rage and depression causing me to sob uncontrollably and act hysterical. I’m scared of how this may affect my life if I continue, because it’s causing me to feel depressed after each moody episode. I’ll continue taking it until the end of the month because I desperately want to clear my acne, but if it’s not 100% clear skin by then I will definitely switch brands."

"Please don’t be scared to try Isibloom because of all the seemingly negative reviews. I am 20 years old and have been on isibloom for almost 3 weeks now. I have had ZERO side effects. The only thing that happened was the day after I took isibloom for the first time I felt a little nausea in the morning but after that and since I’ve been feeling great! The pills are SUPER tiny which I love also. I am taking isibloom for birth control as well as to stop my period and it was free through my insurance but I pay a $15 copay for 3 packs so that I can stop my period! Isibloom is great!"

"honestly, I was terrified to use this pill after seeing the reviews but for some reason did it anyway. I have only been on it for a week but the main side effects I experienced aren't as bad as I thought. I do have severe bloating but any anti bloat pill can fix that you know and I expect my body to eventually adjust to the pills and stop bloating. The pill made my period SO MUCH lighter BUT I did get some spotting following my period. I do get a little moodier but once I noticed it was from the pill I was able to control it a little better (even though I am still crying over dumb things) also I did eat really healthy last week because I feared gaining weight on birth control so I actually ended up losing 3 pounds"

"PLEASE READ THIS. Do not even consider taking this birth control, I received this through the pill direct club. I have NEVER been so sick in my entire life after taking this pill for not even three weeks. I tried to get through it and hope for the best but my stomach was in agonising pain. Felt like I was being stabbed from the inside out. Had to call out of work for two days, would have been more if I could afford it. I could not stay off of the toilet . Constant diarrhoea. Constantly nauseous. Headaches. I even thought I was going to poop in my sleep. IT IS THAT BAD. I saw the reviews on here and called to see if I could try a different birth control and they told me they chose this specifically for me. Don’t listen to them. AWEFUL PILL."

"I'm 32 and started Isibloom in April. The first two weeks were awful. I had what I felt like were migraines. I wanted to give it a month though. I began to experience major mood swings by week 4. I am normally a laid back individual and this made me feel crazy. But the real kicker happened the 5th week of me being on this. I developed a blood clot in my leg. I thought it was just a pulled muscle. By the time I realized it wasn't because my calf swelled up 5 inches bigger than my other calf and my foot went numb. I had to be taken to the ER. They ordered me to stop taking the birth control and started me on a high dose of blood thinners. I just want to warn other women that the blood clots can happen! I'm sure all the other side effects can too. I should have stopped taking it when I developed the migraines in two weeks. I've never had this many problems with a birth control!! Now I can't take oral birth control because I'm high risk for developing more clots."

"I was on Quasense for five years, starting when I was 14. I should’ve switched a long time ago. It gave me horrible nausea every time I started a new pack, to the point where I started to stop eating the night I took the first pill along with a nausea pill. It gave me acne, weight gain, and depression. It did NOTHING for my abnormally heavy and painful periods. I switched to Isibloom only a week ago but I already love it. No nausea, I’ve lost 2 pounds, and gained a cup size. I’m giving it a 9 because I haven’t been on it long enough to see what it does for my acne or for my periods!"

"So far I have been taking isibloom for two weeks. The only side effect I experienced for the first 3-5 days was nausea which I've heard was normal the first few days in taking birth control. I took anti-nausea pills (usually prescribed, I had leftovers) and I was fine afterwards. I have been slightly less moody, my breasts finally seem to be evening out. Since then, I have NOT Had any side effects."

"I have tried multiple forms of birth control including the kyleena IUD. I have awful cramps that make me cry and insane mood swings off and on different birth controls. I got prescribed this pill and it has changed my life. I no longer have depression during different parts of my cycle and the painful periods are gone! When I started I did have some mild stomach upset after but after an hour it always goes away. If birth control others rave about doesn't work for you I highly recommend trying this one."

"Isibloom is a decent birth control. The first month of taking it I had nausea, tender breasts, mood swings and low libido. Those were completely gone after the first pack. It keeps me regular, having short and light periods is wonderful compared to the time with no birth control, I’d bleed for 12-14 days straight and the flow was very heavy. So Isibloom birth control works great for me and I hope, it will work well for you as well. Definitely recommend it!"
