For Birth Control "I switched from the combo pill to a POP (progesterone only pill) because of my migraines and the only side effect I've had so far was a little bit of cramping the first day I was on it. Surprisingly it hasn't made my acne worse and I haven't noticed any crazy weight gain. I love that I skip my periods and I haven't had any weird spotting yet like a lot of other people have reported. Very happy with Errin!"

For Birth Control "I immediately noticed ( day 2) small problems but by day 4 , I was feeling very depressed, my hip joint was hurting, had abdominal pain and I was crying so much. My blood pressure also elevated so I had to stop taking it."

For Birth Control "The first time I was on this (before baby #2) it was effective for almost a year then decided to stop taking it after experiencing anxiety, chest pain, acne and I swear it made my BP go up. The symptoms disappeared within a few days. Fast forward to now I have been put back on this pill and after 2 months I am stopping it again for same previous symptoms. This pill is the worst. I would not recommend."

For Birth Control "I have only been on this pill for 3 weeks now, but wanted to insert my experience because it seems pretty different than some of the other reviewers. I had light spotting for about a week and a half four days into taking the pill, then it completely stopped. I didn't experience any other side effects until the next week: dizziness, lightheadedness, and something I can only describe as a "mental cloudiness." These effects would normally last 15 hours after taking the pill (I take it at 9PM). Nothing I do could help it--eating, drinking water, you name it. Feels kind of like I have morning sickness or something until 2PM, but I would like to add that that is not consistently every day. I take my pill at the same time every day."

For Birth Control "The worst thing I have ever experienced. Getting pregnant again would have been better then this birth control. I wasted 4 months of my life on this pill. I gained weight, hair loss, cramps, headaches more then I didn’t have headaches. Finally stopped it and all my symptoms have been subsiding. I’m sure it works differently for different people but it was the worst thing I’ve ever done."

For Birth Control "I used to be on birth control for years to inhibit growth of ovarian cysts. I stopped and was off pills for 6 years. Unfortunately I am still very fertile and as a single mom in a committed relationship I did not want to have more children especially since I will be 40 next year. I decided to try the mini pill to avoid effects of estrogen. This worked in that I didn’t get pregnant while on it but it caused me pretty much every side effect. I developed acne on my face, my mood swings were crazy and very negative, my appetite greatly increased and I gained weight, I no longer had natural lubrication since my vagina became very dry, I noticed an obvious decrease in libido, and my breasts became very sore and tender the whole time on the pill. I did experience some very light spotting but I wouldn’t have a problem with that if it weren’t for the other symptoms. Unfortunately I’ll have to resort to another method of birth control. I had high hopes for this pill."

For Birth Control "So far it has been ok. A lot of spotting and minor headaches. Less acne and no hair loss. I used to have very heavy periods every 20 days. I am on Errin and the first month I spotted everyday I did this on combo pills too. Now I have a period and then spot a few days. The days I spot are also from taking it an hour late. I'm on my third month now and I am hoping it regulates everything. I noticed my face looks less haggard and I am 43."

For Birth Control "Update from my September post. Okay, I stopped taking it for about a week after my original post because I was so sick of bleeding. After my cycle finally ending, I started taking it again and I can say there has been noticeable improvement. My cycles come like clockwork now only once per month"

For Birth Control "Before taking this birth control pill Errin I was on a combination pill (Tarina Fe) for about 7 months. My gyne switched me to Errin because of the depressed mood. I've been on it about a week now. The first two days were a nightmare of moodswings but it's evened out now. My biggest complaint is the number of side effects on already experiencing - nausea, dizziness, headache, severe fatigue, bloating, stomach pain. I'm also experiencing fever and chills. I will probably be talking to my gyne about this soon if it doesn't let up. I'll take the depressed mood over feeling sick all the time."

For Birth Control "well I didn't get pregnant thankfully of Errin birth control pill. I always took the same bc since I was 14 with no issues. Turned 35 and had to switch but have now stopped taking Errin due to negative side effects. My hair and face get really oily fast. I've stopped having my period, developed cystic acne, and developed eczema since taking this bc."

For Birth Control "I really wanted to have a more positive experience on Errin, but it just wasn't a good fit for me. After a month bi-weekly periods, I started spotting every other week and as a result it felt like I was constantly PMSing. I gained about 8 pounds of water weight and I felt uncomfortable and bloated almost all day every day. Lastly, I just didn't feel like myself on Errin. I would get very inconvenienced by small things, it made me very emotional, and it was even hard to get out of bed in the morning some days. It also kept my psoriasis breakouts pretty constant. I asked my doc if I could take some time off instead of starting a new pack and within 5 days I was back to a normal weight, skin cleared, and felt like myself."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I had a pretty large uterine fibroid that my body expelled over the course of three excruciating periods the last one landing me in the ER. My gyno put me on errin to control the bleeding and lessen cramps. I have other health issues and I’m usually someone who gets all the possible side effects of a medication. I haven’t had any issues with this though so far. I can’t even tell I’m taking anything other than some nausea the first night. I’m supposed to be on my period now and my bleeding is very minimal no cramps so far at all. I am still bleeding from the fibroid removal so it’s hard to tell what’s causing the bleeding exactly. I’m glad that this is working for me. I’m taking this because I am only able to eat a limited diet and my estrogen is already high."

For Birth Control "I’m 41. I am not allowed to take estrogen because of medical condition where it is contraindicated. I tried this birth control once before and only lasted a week because of anxiety I felt. About 6 months later, I tried again. I realized the anxiety I was feeling was really more of anxiety from life and not the pill. I’m almost a month in and the initial side effects like mild nausea, mild fatigue and maybe a little anxiety have subsided. My breasts were also tender when starting and that has decreased. Now I just feel like normal me and I’m glad I’m sticking it out. I do NOT want to get pregnant at this age! Sexual desire INCREASED because I don’t have to worry. I set an alarm and take my pill at the same time daily. This is no issue for me. All in all, I love this pill. I’m glad I gave it another chance."

For Birth Control "I have always taken Loestrin for the last 20 years. 3 months ago they decided since I am 50 I cannot take a pill with estrogen. I actually am 54, so obviously have been taking it. I am now having heavy bleeding, when I didn't bleed at all with loestrin. And I bleed for 7 to 10 days and have 2 periods a month."

For Birth Control "I'm at the end of my 2nd month. First month was on the .25 dose. Gained 4-5 pounds in the first 2 weeks! I'm very petite and have been the same weight for 20 years so this was a huge drawback. My Dr. changed me to the .35 dose and still the same weight but now more pimples and bled for 2 weeks. Also, I think this pill makes me feel kind of BLAH and empty inside. Could be environmental factors but I think I'll be switching soon!"

For Birth Control "When I first started this BC I liked it...first month no bleeding missed my period totally and my nipples hurt so bad I thought I was pregnant but then a week into the second month my period showed up. I lost weight that I gained on previous birth controls so I liked that about this pill but now I've been on it for 6 months and I've noticed the past 2 months I've had little To no sex drive and it makes discharge REALLY thick I don't like that , also it's making it so it's nearly impossible to orgasm all of a sudden and I'm getting acne.I'm not super happy with this BC and I'm going to switch but I am glad it worked well for 4-6 months considering how sensitive I am to BC pills."

For Birth Control "In 42 years old. Omg this pill makes me feell like I'm on my cycle everyday. I'm assuming it's the pill. I've been on it for over two years now. It's been causing problems with my husband because sex is just not in the books for me. I'm moody, cramps all the time, headaches....it's makes me sick. I just want my tubes tide."

For Birth Control "I was put on this after they discovered an ovarian cyst on my right ovary a few months ago. I haven't noticed a change in mood or sexual desire too much but I've had such irregular bleeding I'm not sure if its the pill or the cyst. Otherwise, I have not gained weight though I have had chest pains. I'm only on month two."

For Birth Control "I really was looking forward and trying this new birthcontrol. The first month was fine with little to no side effects. However about 3 months in, it started to have a negative effect on my mental health. I didn't feel like me and became very sensitive to the smallest problems. As well as it completely messed up my menstrual cycle. Would I recommend it? No. Never."

For Endometriosis "Due to blood clot and diagnosis of autoimmune clotting disorder (anti-phospholipid syndrome), I had to be put on a non-estrogen birth control to help with my endometriosis. The pill has caused me to spot just about every single day and I have been on it for over 6 months. It has not been able to control the cramps and I have to have 800mg ibuprofen on hand at all times. It has cut down on my 7-10 day very heavy period, but since I spot every day; not sure if its really helped with the blood loss and anemia. When I started, I had just about every symptom of pregnancy; but I was not pregnant. This went away after about 1 month of use. Unfortunately, this is my only option at the moment, so I'm kind of stuck with this."

For Birth Control "As much as I wanted to love Errin, this was definitely NOT for me. I have never been any lower mentally nor experienced so many mood swings all at once. I started taking this birth control the beginning of March, so for a month it really just changed my appearance and mental health. Now I have acne all over my face and it was never as bad as this. Also, I am gaining weight fast too, and I barely even eat. I just do not feel like myself so if you have anxiety or depression I would not recommend this birth control. I take .35 mg everyday so maybe it is the dosage and its too much but either way I will not be continuing this pill"

For Birth Control "So, I'm 23 years old. I went to the doctor not only for a birth control but for something to control my terrible menstrual cycle...I would bleed for 7 days straight, heavily at that. I was first put on Depo which I absolutely adored! No periods, no terrible side effects like most people warn you about. Well after 2 years my doc tells me it's not good to be on Depo longer than 2 years so I switched to a pill. I smoke and at this point in my life I am not ready to quit, So I take progestin only pills. At first starting Errin, I spotted for about 2 weeks but I figured that was because of not having a period for nearly 2 years. Since then I have a period every Month and while they only last about 4 days with moderate bleeding. Cramps are bad!!!"

For Birth Control "I gave birth 3 months ago and wanted some type of birth control. My doctor prescribed Errin since I was going to be breastfeeding. I was a bit sketchy but thankfully, I haven't had any issues, and I pray I do not encounter any. I was on the Mirena a couple years ago, and I absolutely hated it! I was bleeding heavily for an entire month! I hope Errin does not give me any complications."

For Birth Control "Every woman’s body is different how it responds to birth control. Some have no issues and some have every side effect possible. For me, this pill Errin is THE WORST. I was on a combination pill and my gynecologist switched me thinking it was causing my high blood pressure as some pills can do. I was on it since Aug 2019 and recently just switched back to the previous one I was taking- thank goodness!! This pill made me sick such as: nausea, severe bloat, weight gain, spotting & never knowing if or WHEN I would even have a period, major cramps that I’ve never experienced ever before - even when I entered adolescence, swollen breasts and fatigued constantly. I understand this works for some but definitely NOT FOR ME!!! I’m so glad I switched back and now I feel back to normal after less than a week of being off of it. This is especially not a good one to take if you’re like me and want to know WHEN you’ll have your period. "

For Birth Control "I’ve been on Errin for five months now, about to start my sixth pack. The first few months were rough as my body got used to the hormones as this was my first ever time taking birth control (21 year old). I bled for about a week every two weeks for the first four months, and now it seems that I’m back to a regular monthly period. I started getting acne almost immediately, with it peaking around the four month mark. It’s slowly getting better with prescription medication. I’ve experienced minor weight gain but that could just be a side effect of being in a relationship lol! My partner and I don’t use condoms or the pull out method and have sex pretty frequently (multiple times a week) and I haven’t gotten pregnant yet (knock on wood!) so overall I’d say this is really effective!"
