User Reviews for Velivet

Velivet (desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: I have taken Velivet for almost 2 years. I've been getting menstrual migraines from withdrawal sometimes during my period. Also have low libido which I'm not sure if it's related to this pill.

Velivet (desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: I'll keep this short. I have taken Tri Lo Sprintec, Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and Velivet (in that order). Although my experience with Velivet was not as bad as with Ortho Tri Cyclen, it wasn't great. Pros: I lost weight, very regular periods, effective as birth control. Cons: Velivet completely killed my sex drive. Not only that, it turned me into a nervous wreck - and I am usually a pretty calm person. I was constantly worried about the way others perceived me, what my boyfriend *really* thought about me (believe me ladies, he is not a master of subtlety... there was no reason for me to be feeling this way), etc.

Velivet (desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: My experience with Velivet was horrible. I was on Velivet for a year and a half. I've been on Ovcon(loved it), Femcon(also great) and now Apri(hate it). Velivet was the worst though. The good things about Velivet: Perfect for contraception, great for regulating your period, increased my breast size by half a cup, no real cramps, no weight gain. The bad things about Velivet. Crying and or angry over nothing all the time. ZERO sex drive. I wouldn't recommend it.

Velivet (desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: Velivet is great for birth control. I've been on this for almost over two years and have had no problems. Only major problem is that I get angry or upset for no reason the week before my period.

Velivet (desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: I have been on Velivet for about a year. It has been better than the birth control I was on before, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, but I have decided to go off of it because for 2 weeks at the end of my cycle I am incredibly emotional, cannot stop crying, am irritated and irrational and it's having a serious toll. I also have a pretty low sex drive.
