For Birth Control "It worked great as a birth control, but the main side effect I had was that I felt like I was going through menopause at 21 years old. I lost the ability to produce my own natural lubricant, and my libido was so down the drain. This aspect made me very depressed, but other than that, it did the job."

For Birth Control "I have been on Reclipsen in the past and then Juleber. I was pretty fine on both of those, with just the normal mood differences. I have been taking Isibloom for about 4 months. I have had a very bad spell of digestive issues. I cannot 100% say that it was caused by Isibloom, but it started the same month. And I am nauseous every time I start the pill pack. I vomited last time I started a pack. My mood has been stable, no weight gain, no skin issues. The main issue has been digestive and no sex drive. My pharmacist is letting me go back to Reclipsen to see if there is a difference. I think it is all about your own body chemistry mixing with the inactive ingredients!"

For Birth Control "My doc prescribed this for period cramps. I wasn't able to finish the first month because it made me so incredibly depressed. Doc said it probably would have gotten better if I'd kept with it longer, but it was really scary. My roommate was legit worried to let me out of sight for a while. Can't speak to the effectiveness for treating cramps, as I didn't take it long enough. I also had some chest pain for a few days and decreased libido. Didn't have any acne when I was taking it though, so that was nice."

For Birth Control "I was on birth control starting at 14 years old and got switched to this when I was 18, and everything literally just went horrible. Immediately gained like 30 (130-160) pounds without my exercise level changing or my diet changing at all. My depression and anxiety became so severe that I literally didn’t want to live anymore. My acne got worse. I had absolutely no sex drive. I’m now on the implant, which I’m getting out soon because, although I stopped gaining weight when I got off this pill, the effects have not gone away. I genuinely feel as if this medication ruined my life, it changed me into a completely different person and changed my body, and no matter how hard you try to lose weight, it will not budge. Please avoid this."

For Birth Control "I originally went on Isibloom because I was having severe cramping on my previous birth control. The first week I went on Isibloom, I felt incredibly nauseous and super emotional to the point that I would be crying for no reason for hours. Additionally, this birth control killed my sex drive and made sex very uncomfortable as well. Isibloom decreased the natural amount of lubrication that would be produced, which made things very dry during sex. However, during regular times during the day, my discharge would be so much that I would have to change my underwear three times a day because it would be completely soaked and disgusting."

For Birth Control "I've been taking Isibloom on and off for four years now. I like to give my body a break every now and then. I've always had really painful periods, and this pill was magic. Minimal cramping and back pain, and I now get my period on the dot every month. For some reason, however, this last time around I started taking it again, it has caused me nausea, weight gain that I'm unable to lose, and a decreased sex drive and vaginal dryness. I'm stopping it for a bit and starting it back again later, which hopefully will work out better."

For Birth Control "I have been taking the pill for 5 months or more, and it has totally gotten rid of my sex drive. I have painful intercourse, diarrhea, and I’m usually very active. This pill has got me sedated. I hate it."

For Birth Control "Some of the horrible side effects from Isibloom that I've been reading about-not happening to me! Very thankful for that. I started it right after my last period had ended, and I've been using it to skip periods, and I haven't had one since. The week I'm supposed to, I can tell I'm a little bloated, but no spotting, even. I do have some pretty intense mood swings, but I've had diagnosed severe depression for many years, long before I began taking this, and this time of year is never good for me. My skin is about the same as it was before, maybe my face has gotten slightly better. I've noticed a small lack of sex drive, but nothing horrible, and even though I've only had sex on it once, I didn't get pregnant. Wish I could completely dismiss the mood swings, but they might be part of it. All in all, sometimes, certain pills work better for some people and not for others. I used The Pill Club, and I have no regrets, this works for me, and I can handle the mood swings."
