For Birth Control "I have taken it only a month and have experienced bloating, nausea, breast tenderness, fluctuation in appetite, constipation, and I get mad at my boyfriend very easily. Plus, all of these symptoms make me not feel like having sex."

For Birth Control "Today marks a month and a week since I've been on this pill. I was on it before and had no problems, so when I found out I had ovarian cysts, my doctor put me back on it. My periods have been not as painful, and I'm pretty sure my cysts are gone (although I haven't had another ultrasound). But I have been nauseous every single day. My breasts hurt, and I always feel sick. I'm not sure the side effects outweigh the benefits. I'll give it a couple more weeks to let my body adjust to the hormones and update, but this is awful."

For Birth Control "I have been on Velivet for 2 months now. The first month, I felt nauseous, tender breasts, I gained 10 lbs, and I turned very moody (especially with my boyfriend). My period was very light, and best of all, no cramps. The second month is better, I am still a bit moody."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on Velivet for a few years now to regulate my period. For the first year and a half, I was fine, but then I switched packs with a friend for a week because we were on vacation, and I forgot mine at home. When I restarted on Velivet, it was awful. I threw up all the time and could barely keep anything, even water, down. I stopped taking them for a month because it got so bad, but I recently restarted due to a bad period. I’m feeling nauseous 24/7, and I have to throw up before I sleep because the nausea is causing insomnia. The only good thing I can say about this is that it cleared my skin, but trust me, it’s just not worth it."
