"I'm currently on my 2nd pack of Femynor pills and throughout the time I've been on them I've been spotting. Previously I was on Portia and Lillow. I stopped taking Portia because it made me a bit anxious the first week of the pack and Lillow did the same. But tri Femynor I was always jumpy, it actually made me break out more. I haven't had acne like this since I was 17 and I'm now 27. But the worst part is the continuous spotting. I honestly would not recommend this birth control to anyone."

"This is my first birth control and I have been on it for a month and the first few days I felt a little nauseous but that’s because I didn’t eat anything with it. ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO EAT SOMETHING WITH IT EVEN IF ITS JUST A FEW CRACKERS!!!! I take it at 6:30 in the morning and I have been fine for the last month!"

"The worst months of my life. My anxiety was through the roof, I was extremely paranoid everyone was out to get me. I cried for no reason and would regularly get in slumps. I felt so depressed everyday I was on it. Made me feel like I was in a melancholic movie. Didn’t get pregnant tho so I guess it does its job. It also cleared up my acne."

"Horrible experience, I don’t stop bleeding for 11 days and continuing, acne breakouts, mood swings, all of the sudden I start crying for nothing or fighting for nothing, feeling tired, weak, Im trying to go to the gym and I have problem to run in the treadmill. I'm getting tired very easily. I’m done with this medicine. Is so frustrating and upsetting."

"So I have been using birth control for 2 years now and I have been on Sprintec, Trinessa and others. They have all been fine until I started Femynor last month. I have had headaches, stomach pains, nausea, shivers, sweating and dizziness in the middle of the night 2 nights in one month. Which one time caused me to throw up. And currently having abdominal pain for no reason. I also don't get as hungry as before and get full quick. My first period with this pill was lighter than my usual periods and I also experienced spotting during my period. I hate this pill and cannot wait to switch to another brand ASAP."

"DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. I was originally on Estarylla, but switched to Femynor a couple months ago as my doctor said it was the "generic brand." For months I have had intense migraines, no sex drive, consistent yeast infections and severe severe depression. This pill is the worst, and I will stop taking it immediately."

"I love this birth control. I've tried several different birth controls before and the side effects were HORRIBLE. I do have some side effects on this one but they are extremely mild (breast tenderness and some nausea). They are also getting better the longer I take it."

"I almost died due to 2 Massive P.E. blood clots and a few small ones in the middle of my chest because the doctors and pharmacies don't bother to tell you that Femynor can cause blood clots. I was taking a low dosage for 4 months. Side effects are shortness of breath, chest pain, fainting, blurred vision etc. A message to the pharmaceutical company please take this drug off the shelves as it is a dangerous drug. Anybody taking this drug needs to be careful! The company who created this dangerous drug because all they want is money and not help people get cured just like most other companies and I hope someday all the corrupted companies get shut down"

"I had previously used Ortho Tri-Cyclen and had no issues, no symptoms, everything was great. When I switched over to femynor it was the worst 5 months ever! The first month I expected it to be difficult due to switching over but I had all the symptoms-- headache, anxiety, over-emotional, nausea, bloating, tender breasts, etc. After 3 months it dwindled to tender breasts, anxiety, but still over-emotional. I lost my airpods in my room and burst into tears inexplicably. Needless to say, I asked my HCP to switch me to something else because just being on this medication gave me anxiety. But no pregnancies so I guess it worked."

"Started this birth control 8 months ago, this is my first and knew some things to expect. I almost immediately felt period cramps after starting it and would feel them on and off for basically the whole month and getting worse closer to my period. Honestly didn’t bother me that much but could be a personal thing. I definitely experienced emotional problems but it fizzled out after 3-4 months. About 2 months after starting my anxiety worsened, and for the past 5 months I’ve woken up in the middle of the night at least 2 days in a row every month with what feels like an anxiety attack that always results in 2 hours of violent puking. It’s the same every time and feels like episodes of constant anxiety and has lasted 5 days before. This is why I made an appointment to switch."

"I’ve tried Femynor pills for over 2 months now after being diagnosed with polycystic ovaries 2 months ago. My symptoms are, blackheads, acne, facial hair and hair in places I have ever had before, my period was absolutely ridiculous, I would never know where it can come, sometimes within 2 weeks, or maybe 90 days after, for being sexually active is a huge problem, and also I have cramps 24/7, they didn’t even let me stand up, also my period would last like 7 to 14 days, with abundant bleeding, I had to actually sleep with a plastic bag (lol) like a panty to prevent the blood to stain my bed, it was really bad. I searched all my symptoms online and I saw that it could be that , so I finally went to a Gynecologist, she send me this pills, which honestly I guess worked? But did not get away my side effects of polycystic ovaries (acne, excess hair) it just regulate my period and how much I bleed, but my acne still horrible so does my excess hair"

"Tried for one day and I had to go to work with a headache, nausea, fatigue, and diarrhea! I've been on many other birth controls and this has been the worst one yet. I've been off hormonal birth control for a while so I guess my body isn't liking the extra hormones. I already emailed my Dr asking for a different prescription."
