For Birth Control "I was on Junel 24 for about two years and loved it, had no acne and if I did it went away quickly. Was switched to Hailey because of insurance purposes but now I break out every month. It’s kinda like I was never on birth control. It’s that out of control. I like this birth control period wise but acne wise, it’s a no from me. I’m gonna ask my dr to switch me back to Junel 24."

For Birth Control "Was on it for 3 months before deciding to switch. It actually worsened my cramps (not even during my period, but sporadically throughout the month), increased my acne (back and face) and my appetite. Didn’t notice anything with mood changes. Will be switching to Nikki and seeing if that works."

For Birth Control "I've been using this for about a year if that and let me tell you the problems. Firstly, acne is number one. I felt like a teenager breaking out along my chin line and neck at 30 years old. I personally think it makes you gain weight or makes it impossible to keep weight off. My periods are so out of whack. I used to be on Junel and I liked it so much better. I hate when they switch you to these alternatives. I've struggled all year trying to be on this birth control and I'm still having issues. I also feel so angry being on it, my mood swings are not normal at all. Will definitely be switching or stopping it."

For Birth Control "I started this birth control pill because of the severity of my period flow and cramps. I had tried many different pills and contraceptive types but this one was by far the worst. I had horrible cramps and my period was super irregular. On top of this, I began getting severe nodular acne on my cheeks that has left deep severe scarring. I was on this contraceptive for 6 months before switching it to another. It's been about 5 months and I am still recovering from the side effects of this pill."

For Birth Control "I was on Nexplanon for years and was waiting on insurance to approve my new one so started this. The first month started well. I gained a bit of weight but was feeling better than the troubles I was having with the implant at the end (I had been informed my implant lasted longer than it actually did by a past doctor and it was expiring and causing symptoms from expiration). Around the third week I started getting horrible stomach problems, migraines, mood swings, and ANXIETY. I gained 30lbs in 3 months even after I got off of it I continued to gain and to this day I still have sensitive stomach, am now on medication for anxiety because it messed my mental health up so bad. I’m finally levelling out 6 months later and beginning to lose the stubborn weight I gained on it. This was the worst experience of my life and I’m happy to be back on my Nexplanon but it’s taken a long time for me to even get to my “normal” on Nexplanon and I’m not there yet. I didn’t get pregnant on it."

For Birth Control "Started using Hailey about 5 months ago, mainly for how bad my cramps were. Being said it hasn’t helped my cramps at all, but it cleared up my skin and i’m not pregnant so there’s that. It did lower my sex drive to almost nothing however so maybe that’s why I’m not pregnant. Don’t love it, don’t hate it."

For Birth Control "Hello, at first the reviews for this medication made me nervous when my doctor prescribed it for me. However, I have been taking it for about 4 months now, and my reason for taking it was to help with my PCOS. So, for my fellow PCOS females out there, I would like to say that this medication has worked great for me. I have also made changes to my diet, but this medication has helped with my hairline regrowth, reduced my facial hair, and reduced my stomach fat. It's reversing a lot of the negative side effects of my PCOS, and that was exactly what I needed in my life. I am not in much pain anymore, and for me, this was a lifesaver. It seems that this medication works well for people with PCOS, and for those using it solely as birth control, it's a gamble. However, once again, I have had a great experience and look forward to my symptoms hopefully further improving in the future."

For Birth Control "I used this for 3 months in an effort to shrink a cyst that I had on my ovary. During that time, I really didn't have any issues or side effects to mention. After evaluating again at the 3 month mark, the cyst had shrunk and I quit taking the pill. I'm 42 and my husband has had a vasectomy so birth control isn't really needed. But, now after being off for about 3 months I am having serious hair fallout. I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced this? I've gone to a dermatologist and she feels it is due to stress, of course, it could be stress from a bit ago that we are just now seeing the result of. I'm wondering if the cyst in combination with the BCP is the stress that led to the fallout??"

For Birth Control "I’ve been on this pill for a little over a year now, and it was the best decision for myself! Reason why I wanted it was due to very uncomfortable cramps and heavy bleeding that would affect my day to day life when my period would come. It has severely helped my cramps (minimal to none), bleeding extremely lightly for a few days during the last week of the pill packets. I was most concerned about my mental health as I was in a good place and was afraid that it would alter my moods, but I haven’t experienced anything mentally that was out of place or not normal for myself! I haven’t experienced any weight gain/loss, headaches, swollen breasts, etc. I struggle with acne but after using this pill for the first month, I did have some flare ups of pimples, but now my face is pretty clear after consistently using the pill for months. Overall, I am so thankful that this pill has worked for me and that I haven’t had any severe or out of place side effects."

For Birth Control "After taking this for five months… •no period (I’ve never missed a period let alone 5) •breasts are sore every single day •absolutely no libido •skin is constantly itching like I’ve got bugs •extreme depression- crying all the time, feeling empty I’ve an appointment to change b.c. at the end of the month because this experience has been traumatic."

For Birth Control "I recently switched to this birth control due to my lower dosage BC no longer working. My periods are just as bad, if not worse. My cramps are horrible, and my flow is heavy. I still have my period for 7 days. In addition, the first four months on this pill gave me horrible acne, and my skin is usually clear. I’d say the only thing this has helped with is to decrease my migraines. I’ve been on this pill now for almost 6 months and have developed a DVT in my calf and knee, and can now no longer take any combination BCs. If I could, I’d go back and stop myself from starting this. For reference, I’m 5”7, 190 lbs and 23yrs old. I gained about 10 lbs on this BC."

For Birth Control "Within the first month of this birth control I broke out, had acne all around my mouth and chin meaning it’s hormonal and from the meds. My breast’s have hurt SO bad and probably swollen a whole bra size, but seriously constant pain it’s uncomfortable. I mean it does it’s job though and I don’t think it’s affected me emotionally too much."

For Birth Control "I was switched to Hailey after using Aerovela (which I LOVED) Hailey was awful for me. I’ve taken so many pregnancy tests because I feel that bad, and keep having bad migraines since I switched. I also bleed during most of the pack."

For Birth Control "I’ve had my period for 3 weeks out of the month, breaking out like crazy all around my mouth and chin, cramping, bloated and I've gained like 5lbs. It’s been only a month on this birth control and I'm over it, switching asap and today I’m just stopping taking it all together."

For Birth Control "I looked at these reviews before I started Hailey and was really nervous because of them. I was thinking of not going forward with it but I decided to give it a try. I haven’t even been on a whole month and my face and back has totally broken out way worse then I’ve ever had, I have pretty clear skin. I have also had horrible break through bleeding, I had been bleeding for over a week and it was almost worse than a period. I had to stop taking it because it seemed there was no end in sight for the bleeding and I was losing a lot of blood."

For Birth Control "I was on Blisovi 24 for 2 1/2 years, stopped it to have my son then got back on it. I noticed really bad migraines as I was on it & even worse when I took the sugar pills. I ended up not taking the sugar pills and going straight into a new pack to avoid a migraine."

For Birth Control "I started this a month and a half ago. I had some irregular spotting a week into my second month. Face seems bloated, which is really weird. I have been getting this super painful cystic acne on my chin and around my mouth as well. It’s getting better as of today, so I’m going to give this birth control one more month to see if it just needed some time to steady out. No weight gain so far, but I am really active (run 3 times a week, yoga on other days). My boobs are ginormous, which sucks as someone with gender confusion lol. They were sore at first but they don’t hurt anymore. Definitely had some mood swings since starting, but I also have a history of mental health issues and oscillating moods so I’m not sure if it’s related. I’ll update again in a month after I decide to quit or continue."

For Birth Control "I’m pretty sure this brand is giving me depression because I was fine before I started taking it. Not only that but my emotions are all over the place and I've been lashing out a lot more often. OH! the first pack I took, I skipped my sugar pills and now I’m on my 4th pack- still no period. Maybe I just need to change the brand? Maybe that will make a difference. Everyone’s different though so everyone will react different."

For Birth Control "I recently been prescribed this med due to thin uterus lining and periods every 10-14 days. Still fairly new to this but as I take it I be nervous I haven’t done birth control in 15 years and no babies. Low appetite, headache and highly easily tempered. I will update within 2nd to 3rd pack. As my obgyn said it’s being used to reset the lady parts"

For Birth Control "This was my first birth control, and I was nervous because of all the questionable reviews, but I've had a great experience with it so far. I skip the placebo pills so I don't get my period, which has been fantastic, and my boobs have gotten bigger. That's basically all that has changed. Also, I haven't gotten pregnant so that's great."

For Birth Control "I really did not personally like this birth control for myself. I would take it at the same time every single day and was constantly getting 2 periods a month. Had extreme anxiety all of the time which I am still adjusting to and now in therapy because of it. I always had the appetite of a linebacker and was eating so much food on it. My period was very short and light, but it would come twice a month so my cycle was really unbalanced and all over the place. I never got pregnant so that was really the only good part about it. Every body will react different to birth control so if it works for you then that’s great but it was horrible for me."

For Birth Control "This is making me extremely moody. I am also having random nausea and lightheaded ness that I would not usually have. I am having bumps on my forehead (like, the hormonal acne underneath your skin) I am breaking out all over my face and it ruining my self confidence and making me feel like crap. Not to mention that it has increased my anxiety and made me have trouble with digestion. I haven’t been taking it for long. So,I will need to keep doing this for at least a month. But one more underneath the skin bump and I’m done. It’s not worth it. I did not want to use this I was forced into getting on birth control."

For Birth Control "28-year-old female - helped with my low estrogen and I've been on it since then (3 years). Before, I had heavy but extremely regular periods, to the point of vomiting every several months. This allows me to still have fairly light periods. Definitely recommend trying."

For Birth Control "I have been on Hailey for 4 months now. I was prescribed this because of my PMDD. Previously, I had an IUD. Let me start off by saying how surprised I was to not bleed at all. My doctor told me that in order to balance out my hormones, I should never take the placebo days. This has helped me so much. Prior to taking this medication, I wanted to die every time my period came around. I cried all the time and could not get out of bed. Now that never happens. I also used to have horrible acne around my chin and now my face is acne-free. That was a big plus. I had migraines prior to this, and I must say I still get them a lot, and I feel like the medication has affected my headaches."
