For Birth Control "I was taking Yaz, and it worked amazingly for me, but about 2 months ago, I was put on Beyaz and have had a yeast infection both months. I have not had sex in over 6 months, this is the only possible explanation for my yeast infections."

For Birth Control "I have been on Beyaz for almost 3 weeks more for endometriosis. So far, I am tired all the time, my breasts have increased a size and are constantly sore. I am hot most of the time (I am normally cold), and my sex drive has increased. I was placed on this because I am having unbearable cramping and pain when having sex. I am unable to afford the laparoscopy at this time, so my doctor has placed me on Beyaz. The pains have gone from an 11 to about a 2, YAY! So far, I have not had any pains during sex. I know that I still need to have this procedure and that this pill will not eliminate the problem, but it is a great help. Just wish the pain in my breast would stop!"

For Birth Control "So far, it's been a lot better than I expected. I have been dreading going on hormonal birth control, but after a failed experience with my Paragard IUD, I gave Beyaz a try. I haven't gained any weight at all, this was my biggest fear, and I'm so happy it didn't come true. My stomach is flat and unbloated. My boobs have increased in size, they just feel nice and full, but not sore! Sometimes I do feel a little blue, and my sex drive is definitely lower. My libido is at about 90% when I am with my boyfriend. My acne has gotten much worse, but they say this happens at first, and then clear skin follows. My period has been light and no cramps!"

For Birth Control "The first birth control I was on, I gained 15 lbs in 5 months. My doctor switched me to Yaz. I had no weight loss and no side effects other than a decrease in my sexual drive. Three months ago, I started taking Beyaz. I have gained 12 lbs in 3 months of taking it! Nothing in my daily routine has changed to make me gain that kind of weight."

For Birth Control "I'm just starting my 3rd week of Beyaz, and after reading some of the scary side effects, I was very hesitant to take it. My doctor assured me that it was safe and that it was one of her favorite pills, and she actually took it herself. The first few days were okay, then I started noticing I got nauseous about an hour after taking it. I was taking it in the evening, a few hours after dinner. My mother suggested taking it with yogurt. So I switched and began taking it at lunch with yogurt, and I have had no additional nausea. I have been more tired than normal, but due to other things going on right now, I can't be certain that is from the pill. Overall, so far I've had a good experience with this pill, and I'm glad my doctor recommended it."

For Birth Control "The only reason I got on Beyaz was because I developed 2 very large ovarian cysts. My doctor recommended the pill to reduce ovulation, which would only make the cyst bigger. I was scared that I was going to gain weight. At first, I hated the pill because I bled very lightly for an entire month. My doctor said that was normal for the first month. Then I noticed that my skin was clearing up really nicely. I didn't notice any weight gain, but the best part was Beyaz sorted my monthly cramps. I was so relieved. The only thing I can say that I don't like about Beyaz is that if I miss a pill and take it when I remember, it seems like over the next 2 or 3 days my acne flares up really bad, and I hate that. Just stay consistent, I recommend it 100%."

For Birth Control "I have been taking Beyaz for 3 years. And I love it! I take it religiously! Same time every day! I have had no problems with it, in fact, my periods have become lighter since taking it! Which I love because I hated my period. And my face is so clear! I had bad acne before I started it, and I get compliments all the time now about how clear and smooth my face is! And I would recommend this pill to someone who knows they can take it on time every day, who wants to get rid of their acne, and who doesn't want any kids!"

For Birth Control "I have been on Beyaz for a week now. Before that, I had an IUD, which was removed after four years because of severe pain. The only side effect I really notice at this point is nausea throughout the day, and I feel tired all day. I have a history of depression and anxiety with panic attacks. I don't notice any difference with those symptoms so far. The nausea is really bad around the afternoon every day, even though I take it at night. Since this is only my first week, I'm going to stick it out and see what happens this month!"

For Birth Control "Beyaz was my first birth control pill. I bled throughout the first month, and I got cramps, which really scared me because I usually have short periods and almost never get cramps. After the first month, the bleeding stopped, my face cleared up, and my sex drive increased. Sadly, after 6-7 months of being on Beyaz, I noticed my vaginal lubrication wasn't the same, even when my sex drive was high. For me, that was a huge upside down, and I decided to switch to another pill, but I would definitely recommend it since that was the only side effect I experienced."

For Birth Control "I am 19 years old and have been taking Beyaz for 3 months. This is my first time being on birth control. However, I am switching because of the mood swings. I feel like I have crippling depression. I am NOT like this at all - this isn't me. It has gotten worse each month. I cry at every little thing and have had increasing suicidal thoughts. It is absolutely miserable. Other than depression, other negative effects have been weight gain (nearly 10 lbs), low sex drive, and my acne has stayed prominent. The only positive aspects are I didn't get pregnant (a few times I missed my time to take the pill up to 7 hours), and my breasts are definitely bigger than normal."

For Acne "I started Beyaz in March of 2015 for my acne, and now it is February 2016, it has almost been a year. I've had bad acne for about 4 years before starting Beyaz. I was on dermatologist-prescribed medication, but nothing was working as good as I would hope. About 2-3 months after starting Beyaz, I noticed improvement. It was very slow improvement, but now it is beyond noticeable. About halfway through the year of using Beyaz, I started in a new environment, which was college, I thought this would make me break out. Now, 6 months into college, I hardly ever have breakouts, and I use less and less makeup. For me, Beyaz has changed my face completely. I used to have multiple breakouts before, and now I can't even remember the last pimple I had."

For Acne "I was on Loloestrin Fe for about 4 years before switching to Beyaz. I loved Loloestrin, but randomly started breaking out all over my neck and chin. After trying every topical solution out there, I finally decided to switch pills, although I was terrified of gaining weight. I'm now on my second month of Beyaz, and it has literally been the best thing to ever happen to me. I broke out pretty bad at first, but my acne has DRAMATICALLY improved. I actually lost weight, my libido is up, and no dramatic mood swings. The only thing is that I've been spotting between my periods, but that's expected the first couple of months. Also, I'll have random nausea, but it quickly goes away. Everyone's different, but give Beyaz a try! It may change your life."

For Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder "I was on Jolessa for a year and bled for almost the entire time. The doctor put me on Beyaz at my insistence. Bleeding finally stopped in the 3rd or 4th week. Have not bled since. I have period symptoms, but no bleeding. My PMDD is so much better on Beyaz. On Jolessa, I had hard little bumps on my right cheek. On Beyaz, those don't break above the skin anymore, so aren't a problem. My only real gripe is the cost ($75 co-pay for the generic 3-pack), and the period symptoms that can last a week or more."

For Birth Control "I've been on Beyaz since September 2013 after switching from the Depo shot. I love the pill, however, I get really bad cramps when my period comes. Not sure if it's because my body is still adjusting to being off the shot or what."

"I'm not sure if it is just me or not, but I had a terrible experience on this pill. I didn't even finish my first pack, and I had to quit taking it. I got terrible migraines every single day, and it would make me sick to my stomach. It also made me completely crazy. The smallest things would set me off. The day after I stopped taking the pill, my migraines disappeared and my moods were back in check."

For Acne "Been on Beyaz for 3 years now, and it’s been amazing. My skin has completely cleared up to the point where I have no acne, and my period has gotten a lot lighter and only lasts 3 days in total now. The only negative side effect I’ve seen is my sex drive, and overall ability to stay wet has decreased a lot. But if you’re only looking for a birth control mainly for your skin, this is the best one!"

For Birth Control "I was put on this pill for two months. In the first 3 days, I already knew I needed something else. I am normally quite laid-back and cheery but have had small issues with anxiety. On Beyaz, my anxiety was constant, and I would get into periods of complete emotional detachment or where anything someone said would hurt me. I would have anxiety attacks so bad that I would scratch at my skin, and my boyfriend would have to hold me down. Not to mention, my sex drive was pretty much gone, and when I would have sex, there would be intense pain or pressure on my lower abdomen. If you already struggle with anxiety or depression, I recommend staying away from this pill."

For Birth Control "I used to be on Yaz until the price got so high. I switched to a different one for a few months, had awful side effects, so my year check-up came and my doctor recommended Beyaz. I have been on it for almost a year. And my sex drive is almost completely gone, and I'm more moody on the pill than off. It's crazy. But I don't have any headaches anymore. Had no weight gain and no cramping or back aches on my period."

For Birth Control "If you're browsing this wondering whether to try it, just give it a chance for 2 months. Everyone is so different, you'll never guess your own reaction browsing others' experiences. But if you're curious - here's mine. It was recommended to me for a hormonal imbalance/acne when I was 18. I'm 25 now and still taking it. The first month was awful, but I'm glad I stuck it out. Now my periods are lighter, cramps are milder, migraines are gone, and I did not experience any major side effects (no weight gain or moodiness!). However, my sex drive isn't as high. Not nonexistent, just taken down a notch. I still think the benefits have outweighed the cons for me. Also - I was switched to Rajani and then back to Beyaz. Didn't notice any difference."

For Birth Control "I was scared to take Beyaz because of some of the reviews I had, but I’m so glad I did. I was diagnosed with mild PCOS and was having irregular spotting and pelvic cramps from it. After 2 months of being on it, my pelvic cramps and irregular bleeding have gone away. My periods are now lighter, and I have less cramping. I did experience a breakout when I first started taking it, but it wasn’t too bad, and it eventually went away within a couple of weeks. I definitely recommend this birth control, and it hasn’t caused me anything bad for me so far!"

"I've tried about 5 different birth controls over the past two years. I started with Yasmin and even tried Lo-Seasonique. I had side effects ranging from extreme hormonal emotions, weight gain, and migraines. Since starting this pill almost a year ago, I have had absolutely no negative side effects, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a birth control that's not only reliable but doesn't affect your weight or your emotions."

For Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder "I am 21, and when I started this birth control, I took it to relieve horrible periods due to what I believe is endometriosis, with intense pain that led to passing out and heavy bleeding-horrible! This pain has stopped, which is great, and my acne stayed about the same as before-minor, not any worse. But the last month I have been on it, a new symptom has arisen that is causing me to switch: the worst nausea I have ever had. I take it at night, and I wake up in the morning almost unable to do anything. Also, I now get carsick and never have before, and it has increased my anxiety. I should mention I do have Hashimoto's thyroid disease, which may contribute to my experience. I will be switching to Microgestin to see if I can be more comfortable."

For Birth Control "I have been on Beyaz for only 5 days. My doctor recommended it knowing that I am a smoker, but I'm only 25. I already had a tubal ligation, so Beyaz is for hormones and acne. I feel very nauseous and have severe migraines, loss of appetite, extremely tired, also, I have a nasty taste in my mouth that just won't go away, no matter how much I brush, floss, or use mouthwash. I'm not sure if I could handle these side effects, being a 2 and 3. Working full-time, I have to have the most energy possible. These side effects don't help."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on Beyaz for about a year now, and I’m loving it! The only thing I have noticed is, when taking it, make sure you take the pills at the same time or 30 minutes after you usually take it. I noticed when I got COVID, I would sleep all night and day, and it made it so I would spot (that sucked), but other than that, if you’re good at taking your pills on time and you want to skip your period, TAKE THIS BIRTH CONTROL!!"

For Birth Control "I had been using the pill for 8 years. I used the first version of this pill, Yaz, then switched to Beyaz when it came out. I went about my life for a few years and then considered switching to Ashlyan, which is just one period every 3 months. Well, let me tell you, having only one period every 3 months is MAGICAL. Unfortunately, my acne went full force, 6 months into the new pill, my entire face was broken out. I was using the strong topical prescription available, and still just getting worse. I was at my lowest when I realized the problem was probably the pill. I spoke with my doc, and we decided I could switch back to Beyaz and just get 2 extra packs a year and still get only 1 period every 3 months. 1 month into Beyaz, and my face is clear again!"
