For Birth Control "I switched to camrese because my last birth control was giving me consistent debilitating migraines during the week of my period or if I forgot a pill. It was too unbearable to experience that every month. I'm now on my second pack of camrese/month 4 and so far it has been great. I enjoy only having to deal with getting my period every 3 months and I haven't had a migraine yet. Spotting happened for a short while in the beginning but it went away. No weight gain. I have been feeling more depressed just recently, but it's hard to know if it's the BC or situational. I'll be following up with my doctor."

For Birth Control "It's been 7 months since I've been on camrese. At first I had lots of breakthrough bleeding for almost 5 months, which I knew was going to happen, but I didn't know for that long! I was starting to get concerned, but now since it's gone away, I am so relieved. It has also made my face drier, which is a plus for me since I used to have oily skin and breakout alot. I've had no other side effects that I know of so it's been really great! It's the first birth control I've tried and I would recommend it!"

For Birth Control "This is the first birth control where I haven't had spotting or had an allergic reaction to! I just finished my third pack last night, and the week I was supposed to have my period was the best it's been in a long time. I did cramp a little the first two days, but nothing ibuprofen can't fix. My period was so light I could get away with just wearing a liner and it only lasted about 2-3 days. This birth control hasn't helped with my acne at all, but I don't think it's necessarily worse which is a good thing. I'll be going on accutane soon for that anyways. Another thing to note is I ALWAYS take it at exactly the same time everyday with maybe a minute or so to spare, which I'm sure is the reason I've had such luck with it!"

For Birth Control "I got on birth control for my horrible cramps and to prevent getting pregnant. I have had mostly ups but some downs using this birth control. you must make sure to take it everyday around the same time because it does effect you when you are supposed to get your period. Also, I have major mood swings now, depression, and gained weight with taking this. It does help majorly with my cramps and how much I was bleeding"

For Birth Control "I have been on this medication for 4 months. Over the years, I have taken so many different kinds and dealt with so many side effects I couldn't stand to be on any hormonal birth control. Besides preventing pregnancy, I wanted to be on one to balance out my hormones (I'm 1 year postpartum and have had issues with fatigue, irritability, and depression as well as painful/long periods). The first month on this medication, I still dealt with mood swings and low moods, and was exhausted. The first 2 months, I had the worst acne of my life and still bled lightly when I would normally have my period. I decided to continue giving it a chance and on month 3 my acne cleared up almost completely and my mental health is the best it's ever been. I finally have my normal energy level back. I do still spot occasionally, but the actual period I got at the end of month 3 was light and not very painful. I have endometriosis and I believe it's helping alleviate some of that pain."

For Birth Control "The first contraceptive pill that works for me. No depression with this pill, just a few weeks of heavy PMS-like symptoms (cramps, exhaustion, moodiness) at first, then it stabilized. Trustworthy, predictable, and not having a period but once a quarter has been nice."

For Birth Control "I suggest this BC anytime someone asks or complains about their BC or their period. However, I will note it is best when you take the actual Camrese and not a “comparable” med. I switched pharmacies because one always gave me Ashlynna as a substitute and I definitely noticed way more break through bleeding, plus the package is cardboard and if it’s gets wet (I travel a lot and carry water bottles) the case will fall apart, vs actual Camrese the package is plastic and much more durable. I have taken this almost 3 years now and it’s GREAT. No pregnancies and a period only 3 months. The only thing I will say is I start spotting that third month and randomly sometimes before the placebo week but it is just as stated.. spotting. NOT a full blown period. Cramps are barely existent and my flow is not as heavy. Plus an actual period only comes during placebos. Best pill I’ve ever tried and I’ve been on birth control almost a decade."

For Birth Control "This is the worst birth control I’ve ever been on. I have ovarian cysts and they use birth control to regulate them. I have early onset bipolar disorder, depression and GAD that I am all medicated for, but this has made my anxiety and depression go off the charts with a bit of mania in there. Also I’ve always been worried about my weight and my body and this made me gain back all of the weight I just lost. I really don't like this medication."

For Birth Control "Been on it for 4 weeks, started of with the meanest night sweats like somebody threw a bucket of water on me, my appetite is more controlled meaning I get full fast, and when I first started I had the worst fatigue ever but everything is fine now just dull cramps every here and there."

For Birth Control "I've only been on this for a few days, and I know my body needs time to adjust, but I just spent the last 4hrs (3-7am!) throwing up without cease. I have had horrible, horrible cramps, like, on-the-floor-screaming cramps (which is why I started taking these pills), but at least those only lasted an hour at a time tops! I'm worried about missing school, and I can at least try to manage my cramps like I have before. I can't vouch for its effectiveness, only the side effects I suffered, but I may consider trying it again during a break when my body has time to adjust without worrying about missing classes."
