User Reviews for Gianvi

I'm a teenager with a family history of endometriosis, and has had severe problems with my menstrual cycle. I have gone through many birth controls to find Yaz being the best at controlling all of my symptoms, as well as being an effective birth control. I have been on Yaz for two years, and just this summer, I was switched to Gianvi. My body is very touchy and picky about pills and did not react to Gianvi well, even though it was a switch that shouldn't have made a difference. It did not control my previous menstrual symptoms. I found out I had gotten pregnant, even with other contraceptives, and just went through a horrible miscarriage. If any other women out there have problems, I would recommend switching back to Yaz just from experience

I am not an emotional person, I rarely cry, and I am taking birth control mainly for menstrual cramps. While my cramps have subsided and my period is lighter and shorter, I have had extreme emotional swings and changes in appetite. I have experienced anxiety, and these conditions have worsened with each progressive month.

Not bad so far. Gianvi is good. I used another birth control before this, I do not remember the name. I am new to birth control, this is maybe my 5th month into it. I'm not sexually active yet. I had a horrible menstrual cycle. I would miss months, throw up like crazy, lose and gain weight (10-15 pounds). My last birth control was okay but my periods were still abnormally long and heavy and I still threw up, I couldn't eat heavy foods. Gianvi doesn't do that to me. I have my period right now and I'm expecting a heavy flow any day now. So far none! Hopefully it stays like that! I noticed that my backside has gotten a tad bit larger and same with my thighs. I am not complaining at all, I wanted a larger bottom for a while. I'm a bit more emotional though.

At first, i thought this was great. Same as Yaz, good for menstrual regulation. However, after three months, I felt like I was losing my mind. I was moody, depressed, anxious, irritable, and felt completely crazy. My friends and co-workers started noticing my mood swings too. I stayed on the med because it was fully covered, whereas Yaz costs a significant amount more. Recently I switched back to Yaz and couldn't be feeling better. I feel like my normal self again. I would rather spend the extra money on the name brand than ever go through that feeling again.
