For Birth Control "Out of the 15 years I have taken birth control, this one has been my favorite. It made me have regular, light periods and toned down my mood swings. Didn't gain any weight and never got any pimples. I'm extremely sad my new insurance doesn't cover it anymore, and I am devastated. I am now on the hunt for a new bc and have had no luck with one that responds well with my body."

For Birth Control "Worst experience was given as generic for Viorele. Headache, nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness in 2nd week. First week increased acne, like acne I've never had before in my life. Had to stop. Also increased my mood swings. Must have been an inactive ingredient because I had no problem with Viorele except wearing contacts, and they have the same active ingredients. Worst experience to date with birth control."

For Birth Control "I started using Pimtrea about a year ago. The first couple of months, I had a bit of acne and some spotting about two weeks after my period. After this, everything cleared up, and it was great. Best BC I’ve ever had."
