Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Birth Control: My face is a little blochy, red, oily and I am breaking out pretty badly now, since I started taking this birth control.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Birth Control: I have been on Lo/Ovral since I was 18. I was taking the other generic, Low-Ogestrel, up until last month. The pharmacy switched generics. Ever since I started taking the Cryselle I have cramps constantly and always feel bloated.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Birth Control: This pill has done nothing but cause me problems. My skin is oily, I have really bad mood swings, I have gained 6 pounds and I'm constantly crying over any little thing. I find a reason to argue with my boyfriend over ANYTHING. I'm seriously thinking about stopping the pill.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Birth Control: I have been taking this for 3 months. My doctor said I could take it and skip the last row of pills in the 1st 2 packs so that I will only have a period every 3 months. I can tell you that has not been the case. I have been spotting irregularly ever since I started taking it. Sometimes it's for 3-4 day sometimes it seems like it is for 2-3 weeks on and off. Sometimes it's heavier than normal. I am asking to be changed to something else.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel): I like this pill a lot. Before this I tried the shot and it was terrible. My face is clear, my boobs have grown and for some reason my tummy is flatter. I will continue to take it.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel): I really like this pill. At first I noticed my skin become more oily, but then that went away. I have had no other problems so far and it works really well for me. My skin has actually cleared up more. I have not gained weight and my periods are now regular and lighter. But what might work on me might now work on others.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Birth Control: Since starting this brand of birth control two years ago I have gained forty pounds. During the two years I exercised thirty minutes a day seven days a week. Despite the weight gain this pill worked very well for me and I never had any other problems.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Birth Control: I have been taking this birth control for 5 months now! And ever since I started taking this birth control I have gotten an odd abnormal redness to my face, Gained 15 pounds, and haven't had anything but spotting for the last 4 months.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Endometriosis: I was on this birth control pill for four years. It shortened my period from 18 days to 7, stopped my cramps completely. I did not gain any weight, or have any other symptoms. When I stopped taking it within one month I gained 20 pounds, got acne, and my cramps are worse than before. My period was back up to 10 days after one month.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Birth Control: I have been taking this pill for 3 months and it has been great so far. My periods are lighter and I hardly have any cramping, when before they were horrible. (Really!) It has made me less moody during my periods, which my boyfriend finds amazing and it has also made the sex better in our relationship. Besides the slight weight gain, this pill has been exceptionally good to me and will continue to take it.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Birth Control: This really helped me for my period, before this pill, my period was so bad, going on for 7-8 days, with serious pain for the first 4 days. I would take like 4 ibuprofen (in just 3 hours, NOT good) and it wouldn't help! But now my pain is mild to none, and that makes me happy. I was seriously hoping it would help lower my acne level though... but it gave me more, plus oily skin. Just as long as it keeps the pain away, I'll keep taking it.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Birth Control: I have had the worst experience with this pill. My face, chest, and back are CONSTANTLY breaking out. I've never had this problem until my doctor switched me to Cryselle.
Cryselle (ethinyl estradiol/ norgestrel) for Birth Control: I have had a fantastic experience with Cryselle. I take the pill before I go to bed every night, and have never had a side effect. I have been on Cryselle for 26 months, and have never gotten pregnant. Prior to taking Cryselle, my cycle was random and rarely hit at the same time each month, but since being on the birth control, my cycle is constant. I highly recommend this birth control.
