For Birth Control "I've been off Beyaz almost a year now and have had only two cycles. I was on the pill a little over five years and went off of the pill due to weight gain, anxiety, and always feeling bad. I haven't had a period since March 2017, which results in me constantly having to take pregnancy tests to make sure I'm not pregnant (which I'm not). I wish I'd never started taking it. Please make sure your OBGYN explains all of the side effects before and after the pill."

For Birth Control "I've been on Yaz for a while and had no problems, and a few months ago I switched to Beyaz and noticed weight gain, so I switched. Other than the weight gain, it's not bad birth control."

For Birth Control "I just started taking it, and I am one week into it, and I have already gained 6 pounds because my hunger has increased! But other than that, it is a great pill."

"I have more breakouts than before and have gained 11 pounds in the first month. On a good note, my periods have become regulated. I also have been moodier."

For Birth Control "I have been on Beyaz for 6 months, and as a birth control, it works as it should. When I first started, I had no symptoms. But I gained around 10-15 pounds, which, for my size, isn't a bad thing, but the fact I don't fit in my pants comfortably now stinks. For my cramps, it didn't do a single thing. I still get cramps that make me want to curl in a ball all day. While my period is finally regular, it seems a little heavier. I was told it would help my cramps and period, but I guess my body doesn't like that."
