Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "This is my third form of birth control, I have taken (Loestrin and Femcon previously). Honestly this is the best pill I have been on so far. Unlike the other pills I have taken, there is no irregular bleeding and no cramps. Natazia has been the best to me, and my periods are now shorter and lighter. The only downfall of this pill is I'm breaking out. I'm 20 years old and even on the other two pills acne was never an issue. If I wasn't breaking out from it Natazia would be a perfect birth control pill for me."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "I have been taking Natazia birth control for 10-15 years now. It is a daily pill. I'm super happy with them! I tried some other birth controls before Natazia that didn't work for me. I'm born and raised in Europe and over there the birth control is marketed as "Qlaira". Same pills, same look, same ingredients. I was SUPER happy when I found out they had the same pills. I have been feeling great and I'm sticking with Natazia! I don't normally get a period taking Natzia (once in a while maybe). I don't really get any cramps etc, if so very minor. Overall really recommend this pill and I'm not swapping brands ever!"

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "I went on this pill because my other pills made my breasts to tender. The pill was great when I started in March but then in July and August I have had bleeding for more then a week. At the beginning I never had any bleeding and it took away my period fully, now I bleed heavy for more then a week."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "I took Natazia for 4 months after taking Levora/Portia for 2 years. My libido went WAY UP, in the first 2 months everything was fine, my period was light, my appetite decreased, and I even lost a little weight. However, in the last 2 months I had bleeding every 2 weeks. I bled in Days 10-15 exactly like a heavy/regular period. I began getting chest and facial acne and headaches (which are not normal for me). So after 4 months, I had to switch. The increase in libido was awesome, but it is not so awesome to be "unavailable" for additional days (beyond period) each month."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "Great birth control! I have been on 3 different ones until I did my own research and came across Natazia. I have been taking this for 2 months now and feel as though I'm not taking anything at all (no felt side effects). Periods are only about 2 to 3 days in length and very light. All my previous menstrual issues have subsided. Only issue is the 10pd weight gain..."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "I started taking this pill for breakthrough bleeding 4 months ago. Since I had my children I have not been able to take any oral contraceptive pills to help with the constant bleeding. I even tried Mirena for 1 year. The first 2 months were like magic. Now I am having excessive bleeding on my 3rd week of pills and couple of days of spotting when I should have my period. I don't have any emotional or physical side effects, but Natazia is expensive."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "I've been on this medicine for 11 months. After trying numerous birth control pills, I was finally excited to try something that had decent reviews. However, it did not work for me. I have had two periods per month the entire 11 months I have been on it. I have breakthrough bleeding that lasts anywhere from 1-4 days, in ADDITION to two periods per month."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "I have been on this pill for about 2 years now and LOVE IT. I have a severe bleeding condition to the point where I was in the hospital getting blood transfusions because of a period I had. Natazia has cured that. No more heavy bleeding and NO PREGNANCIES. The only reason I am having to switch from this to a new birth control pill is because the co-payment keeps going up, otherwise I would stay on this."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "I started this pill because I was bleeding for nearly 3 months straight. It stopped my period but then the following months I would get heavy bleeding for 5 days straight. It also gave me horrible migraines at least 3x a week."

"I've been on this medication for about 1 1/2 years and I have nothing but good things to say about this medication. I haven't had a period in over a year which has been such a relief. I don't have to miss work and school because of my endo symptoms anymore. The only downside is you have to make sure to take it consistently. Once I ran out for 2 weeks and I gained 7lbs of pure bloat! Lucky once I got back on the medication the bloat reduced instantly."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "I love this pill. I was on Loestrin 24 for my first pill and I was so moody! My doctor switched me to Natazia and I have had no side effects! I know pills are different for everyone but this pill has really changed my view on birth control. Periods are still 3-5 days and moderate bleeding/cramping but no nausea or breast tenderness. Also comes with a Bayer savings card."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "I took Natazia after having it prescribed for heavy bleeding. Before starting, I would bleed through a pad every time I went from a seated to standing position and passing painful tangerine sized clots. (Sorry for TMI but trying to be helpful) I suffered with severe anemia after every cycle due to my period having no end date and sometimes lasting weeks to months long. The first two weeks on Natazia, I did notice headaches, breakouts and a "Meh" emotional state, not depressed or anxious, but I just felt nothing almost like a robot. After my first month, everything was great, I was back to being as joyful and happy as ever, I had a high sex drive, my acne was alright and I did notice an increase in discharge (I don't really mind it). Periods lasted 2 days every month ranging from light to simply spotting. I was on it for around 7 months until stopping a few months ago. I did notice after stopping, I had a few weird side effects and blood pressure issues but those resolved soon."

For Birth Control "I was on natazia and the only side effect I had was nausea. I got married and my husband took me on his insurance which the didn't cover natazia so I had to switch to ortho tricyclin theday I started ortho I felt tired and moody. I thought it was because I had started my period. The next day it worsened and I felt like I couldn't breath and my heart rate felt weird. I went back to natazia and felt so much better right away!"

For Birth Control "Awful pill, my uterus hurt throughout the 3 months I took it. Larin Fe works so much better, no heavy periods or cramps. Dienogest/Estradiol made my periods heavier and it started giving me cramps. I've never experienced a cramp since I first started my period as a young girl. Would never take this pill ever again."

For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "When I reached my pre teen years I started having a never ending period cycle with a two-three day break in between. I always had a wonky period cycle. I started my period when I was 11 and it lasted for a normal week in March and didn't come back for a year. It then evened out and became normal until my 14th year when it started to become my life. It would go from 3 months straight to 3 months off and then to many months on and only a couple weeks off and then only a couple days off by my 17th birthday. That's when I was finally trial run through the process of several different BC pills and this one ended up working amazingly. I'd rather not have it at all than have it every day of my life! But now I can't afford it so I have to say bye."

For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "I started taking it for excessive bleeding (was hospitalized with anemia a few times). The first month was ok - the bleeding definitely was lighter. I did get some dizziness but it was minor. In the 2nd month on day 7 bleeding started. At first light, and then the most severe I ever experienced, with clots so huge and frequent that I did not understand where they could be coming from. I kept taking the pills through the second package since dr told me my body has to get used to the hormones - but I became so anemic and fatigued that I could not get out of bed. Did not start 3rd package. Could work for some - was horrible for me."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "I have been on Natazia for over 3 years now and it has truly changed my life. Every other type of birth control I took made me hormonal crazy and have significant prolonged breakthrough bleeding. After 3 months of spotting on Mirena, my doctor switched me to Natazia and it has been positive ever since. A couple days of spotting every few months but usually no period at all. Never worn more than a panty liner or light tampon in the 3 years. I love this pill and tell everyone I know about it. I had to fight my insurance company to cover it because without insurance it was $680 a month. It is worth the $30 a month I pay to feel normal."

Natazia (dienogest / estradiol) for Birth Control "I took Natazia due to some period irregularities and painful cramps. It did help with the cramps, but after 3 months, I still have occasional light breakthrough bleeding. Other pills cause me terrible nausea, but this one did not give me that side effect. Also, my heavier bleeding days were definitely shortened. There was no increase or decrease in acne or decreased sex drive. However, I think it is causing my hair to shed more than normal. Overall, I will likely stop taking it because the pros don't seem to outweigh the cons. But it's a decent pill option for those who need it for preventing pregnancy."
