For Birth Control "I was put on Desogen after continuous bleeding on Ortho Tri Lo. My practitioner thought I needed higher hormones. Desogen stopped all the spotting, but it killed my sex drive. Even when I did have any sexual desire, I didn't get the physical effects of arousal, like lubrication. It made sex completely unfun even on the rare occasion that I wanted to do it at all. I gained weight while on it, but I started it pretty young, and I know weight gain is pretty common around that time."

For Birth Control "Been on this Desogen about 3 months, and the cramps are unreal. I'm bleeding 5x heavier than normal. I've gained almost 15 lbs while on this pill, and my poor boyfriend has to deal with my severe mood swings. I have constant headaches, and I'm breaking out worse than I ever have all over my body. I'm using facial cleansers, toners, special foundation, but every day there is a new breakout. I'm getting off this pill ASAP."

For Birth Control "I have only been taking Desogen for two weeks now, but I feel like I've been a lot more emotional lately. I literally can't control myself. It hasn't started problems in my relationship because my boyfriend is very understanding. I have also been getting a lot of breakthrough bleeding, but maybe it's because it's only my first time taking the medicine. My periods are light in the beginning and super heavy towards the end!"
