For Birth Control "I've been on this pill for almost a year now, and I have no complaints! Used to have cramps that were so bad I fainted or threw up, and it was miserable. Was on Tri-Previfem before this, and it was mild and didn't help with cramps that much. This pill is higher in hormones, I believe, and I actually lost weight when I switched. My only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is I do break out before my period, a bit more than I used to, but it's worth feeling so much better."

For Birth Control "I took Azurette for about 4 years. During the first 3 months, I had terrible mood swings and acne. My sex drive also decreased significantly. I didn't experience any weight gain. My periods were light, lasted about 5 days, predictable, and no spotting."

For Birth Control "I started taking Azurette, and let me tell you, I'm so emotional, it's insane. I get random episodes of depression and didn’t help my cramps/bleeding at all. It made my acne worse and caused me weight gain. It made me so unmotivated, and I do not recommend!"

For Birth Control "So I am using Azurette for about 8 months now, my period is regular, though I have a really light period every month. I have menstrual migraine (worse), weight gain, depression, emotional issues, and suffering from acne. I want to switch, but I don’t know which one is better."

For Birth Control "On Azurette, I had terrible anxiety! I had 8-day periods with heavy cramps on this birth control. I also broke out. Overall, 3/10 stars."
