For Birth Control "Awful experience. Took Natazia for 5 days and became so depressed and anxious. I would start crying for no reason and have serious mood swings and feel very irritable/annoyed at everyone around me. My vision became very blurry and my eyes were drier than normal (I have contact lenses). I was nauseous most days and felt very bloated. My migraines came back full force. I do not recommend this pill at all."

For Birth Control "For someone who has been on 7 different birth control pills, I'm pleased with Natazia. I have had side effects all the way from vomiting/nausea to water retention and mood swings on other pills. I have noticed NO side effects on Natazia thus far; I have been on it for 2 months. I am giving my positive experience on Natazia because I think it's needed. Hopefully, it will help others not to prejudge it. Give it a try. And if you're looking for a pill that gives you virtually no period, this will do it!"

For Birth Control "I just started the first month on this pill. I was really anxious starting BC again because I had horrible experiences with other kinds of pills, including Ortho-Cyclin, Ortho-Tri-Cyclin, Sprintec, etc. All of those pills made me feel constantly on edge and extremely nauseous. I was told to wait it out and suffered for 9 months with nausea and panic attacks almost every day, and my skin and periods didn’t even improve. This is the first pill I have taken that I haven’t experienced any side effects! I’ve only been taking it for 2 weeks, but with the others, I could tell within a few days. I think this pill is better since the kind of estrogen in it is converted into your “natural” estrogen in your body, plus the dosing increases so gradually the first week. The only downside is that I started to spot for a few days if I’m late by even a few hours, so I have to make sure I take it at the exact same time each day."

For Birth Control "Have been on 3 other pills before Natazia (Microgynon 30, Marvelon, and Brevinor). Had many, many symptoms with these pills, including constant breakthrough bleeding, nausea, vomiting, headaches, increased appetite, and bad moods. I thought I would be one of those women who couldn't go on the pill at all. Then I tried this pill (having heard it's more 'natural' and a four-phase pill), and I cannot believe that I haven't even had any symptoms at all. Nothing, AT ALL! I would seriously recommend this pill if you have had problems with other pills, especially regarding breakthrough bleeding."

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."

For Birth Control "I began Natazia at 14. I'm 21, so I've been on it 7 years. I have severe endometriosis, which is why I began the pill to treat it and preserve fertility. I've had laparoscopy. Natazia made my periods very light and short or often disappear. Pre-BC, I had 12-day periods that were incredibly painful and heavy. Now, I rarely bleed more than a day or two, even if I take the placebo. HOWEVER, I believe Natazia has caused incredibly severe and chronic issues for me: appetite disorders, milia around my eyes, severe anxiety, crippling depression, insomnia, exhaustion/tiredness, constant bloating, 10 lbs weight gain, nausea, headaches, nonexistent libido, dull hair, and uneven skin. I am very healthy otherwise, as I am a college athlete and eat a plant-based diet. I really am considering stopping BC altogether, this is truly unbearable. I'd rather bleed for 12 days than feel this way."
