For Birth Control "I've been taking Beyaz for about 5 years now. I started when I was 14 because of severe cramps. It worked great for a while, but in the last few months, I have experienced spotting and longer periods with more severe cramps. I am going to speak to a doctor about trying another pill."

For Birth Control "I have been on Beyaz for about 3 weeks after switching from Yaz due to cost. Now I feel more bloated, depressed, and have experienced weight gain. I have also had headaches. I haven't had a real period in several months since Yaz would just make me have cramping, not actually bleeding. I even have taken tests to ensure I wasn't pregnant because I wasn't bleeding. I'm not sure if the same thing works for Beyaz or not. I just hope my body adapts to this and I start to lose weight again and get energy back."

For Birth Control "I've been using this birth control for 7 years. I love it! At first, I definitely saw a change with myself. Positive and negative. My period became shorter, and my skin cleared up so quick! I have not had a pimple on my skin since starting this. The only negative I can think of is a little bit of weight gain and an emotional side effect. I definitely felt a little more sensitive and anxious after taking it, but nothing crazy enough to go off the pill. Definitely recommend for people who are struggling with acne or bad breakouts."

For Acne "Beyaz has helped with my sudden outbreak of adult acne, just like my previous birth control I got off of over a year ago. However, my period cramps are about the same as if I wasn't on birth control at all. No severe side effects, but would like to see improvement in this area. Slight nausea when first taking it at night, but taking it in the morning with food seemed to eliminate the nausea. Not bad, but could be better."

For Birth Control "Gained twelve pounds in the first 2 weeks! I don't get it? That is my only side effect, but it is a bad one. I already eat healthy and work out regularly, and I can't seem to drop this weight from the pill."

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 Acne "After using Beyaz only for a month, I have already seen a dramatic improvement in my acne. I have been suffering with acne for over a year, and this birth control seems to be working. I’m so excited. The only other side effects I have are occasional migraines and fatigue. But I'm hoping it will lessen as my body adjusts."

For Birth Control "I've been taking Beyaz for about a week now, and it has been great. The only side effect I've really had a problem with is intense cravings. None of the other side effects (clearer skin, increased libido) have been a problem for me in the slightest. I would say that starting to take Beyaz was a wonderful choice."

For Acne "I went on Beyaz to clear my acne, and wow did it work! My face is almost completely clear. I still get one or two pimples every now and then, but nothing like how my acne was before I went on the pill. I’m now on my 4th pack and very happy with the results. But, I did gain some weight on it. Nothing crazy, just around 5 pounds, but my body is just getting used to the pill, and as of right now, I love it."

For Birth Control "I started taking Beyaz in 2016 and was on it for four years. I never had any serious side effects, just headache, some slight stomach pain, and mood swings. I am now back on it after being off for a year, and I’ve had much worse mood swings. I’m hoping they will subside in the coming weeks and am willing to stick to it because I have PCOS and my periods suck. It does wonders for my acne, and I have very regular, easy periods on it. It’s nice knowing when I’m going to start, and I only bleed for about 3-4 days. I do notice I have a much lower sex drive when I’m on it, though. All in all, this birth control is good, and the good outweighs the bad."

For Birth Control "Beyaz was the first birth control I experienced, and I was on it for 2 years. It was nearly the perfect pill for me: no weight change, no mood swings, I regulated to it immediately, it dramatically shortened my periods to 3-4 days, and was exactly on time every single month. The ONLY two problems I had that warranted me switching included a decreased sex drive and multiple yeast infections. It was also a tad pricy. If it weren't for the yeast infections at least, I would stay on it! I'm nervous about switching pills, but I'm glad to know that I can go back on Beyaz if the others don't work out."

For Birth Control "I started this birth control when I was 18. It was then called Yaz and changed to Beyaz. I love it, it shortens my periods to 2 to 3 days, and that was back then. I have had 2 kids, and after nursing and using a different pill during that time, I got back on Beyaz. Now it has actually stopped my periods after a couple of months of use. I highly recommend trying this pill, I have had zero issues with it-all positive from this gal! (I am now 28), so I've used this for a long time."

For Acne "I went through 3 horrible months! I started with nausea and vomiting. Then I broke out all over my jaw and chin. I had no sex drive and was extremely fatigued. I was always extremely hot and sweaty and felt short of breath. Not for me."

For Birth Control "I've never taken birth control before. I'm 24 and I got on it to try to stop sudden breakouts. I've been on Beyaz for only 6 days. I can see my oily skin becoming noticeably less oily and shine-free throughout the day, which I'm hoping will clear my face completely in the long run. As of now, my skin feels softer, less oily, and seems to be clearing up. On the downside, I feel very, very tired. I'm on my last week of school taking finals, and I regret not having waited until after finals because all I want to do is sleep. I do feel a little more irritable than usual, but it's manageable."

For Birth Control "Overall, this was a good pill for me. The only reason I stopped taking it was because I wanted to switch to a form of birth control that I didn't have to take every day. At first, for maybe the first two weeks, I felt more depressed, but after that, I felt the same as usual. I did spot through pretty much the whole second month, BUT that has happened with every birth control I have been on, so I think it is just my body. There was also a mild increase in acne toward the end of the first pack, but it went away and my skin became very clear. This pill was also helpful for excess hair growth that I have in certain areas. It was a helpful pill for my PMS symptoms and to regulate my periods."

For Birth Control "I've been on Beyaz for 1 month. It's the first kind I've tried, and it's worked pretty well for me so far. The only problem is that I have moments where I get extremely moody. My hunger has increased, and I get headaches more often than usual. Also, towards the end of the pack, I started spotting a lot. Other than that, I'm happy with it. The side effects aren't too bad, so I can't complain. They will probably go away since I've only been on it for a month, and my body's still getting used to it."

For Birth Control "So I will say that Beyaz has served its course. I've been on it for a little over a year and can only offer 2 pros. Pros: it stopped my period, it prevented pregnancy. Cons: the mood swings are terrible, I am always irritated, every little thing bothers me, I am so rude to my husband. Not to mention, I cry at the drop of a dime. Before Beyaz, I could count on one hand the number of times I had cried in the last 5 years. Also, the weight gain. My doctor put me on Beyaz because it was supposed to help me lose weight. Instead, I have gained everywhere, and although I constantly work out, I can't lose the weight. I have never had acne, so I can't really speak on that, but I will say that I have had quite a few breakouts while being on Beyaz."

For Birth Control "On day 7 of Beyaz. I'm 22, and I was previously taking Femcon. I discontinued because of severe anxiety that could or could not have been related to the birth control (it's hard to tell sometimes if the symptoms are the pill or just you). I took a year break off of birth control before starting Beyaz. So far, I have mixed feelings. I have been feeling panicky and moody, but again, I'm not sure if that is a product of the birth control or my GAD. I also went back on birth control for my skin because I have bothersome acne. I have been developing pretty severe headaches, and I have also been feeling nauseous. My doctor said these symptoms will go away with time, so for now I am going to stick it out and see."

For Birth Control "I have been taking Beyaz for a year now to prevent pregnancy. Because I have been taking it consistently at a scheduled time, it has worked wonders! I would recommend this pill to anyone that is sexually active. Only side effects I have noticed are blood clots and emotional sensitivity. 10/10, highly recommend."

For Birth Control "I was prescribed this medicine to help with my erratic periods. It was great, at first. About eight months into it, I became anemic from heavy bleeding and had nine-day periods instead of four. I've also experienced spotting eight months into taking it."

"I have been on Beyaz for about 3 months and can't figure out if I like it or not. My OB-GYN prescribed it because I had acne, and my skin looks GREAT. Probably the best it's looked in a while. My sex drive hasn't decreased at all, maybe even a little increased. But I did notice that I have an increased appetite and have gained a couple of pounds. I get headaches sometimes too and night sweats. Maybe it will get better though, I'll see!"

For Acne "I was originally on Yaz, cleared up skin in 3 months. It was amazing! Although I did get occasional headaches. Switched to Beyaz due to the Bayer savings card. I continued to get headaches...like stay in bed all day headaches...so now I am finally switching to another birth control. I would rather not be on one at all considering what it does to my body, but it's that or acne. I would rather take the pill."

For Birth Control "When I first started taking Beyaz, it was great. I had no problems, but towards the end of the cycle, I had a terrible attitude, was very emotional, nauseous, and had too many headaches. Once my period was gone, it came back a day after, and it was light to medium. Very bad cramps. My appetite increased a lot more when I started. But everyone's body is different and would react differently to the pills."

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."

For Birth Control "I’m 19, 5’7’’ and weigh 135 lbs, and I’ve been on birth control since I was 16. My periods were so bad ever since they started. I bled so much, but it only lasted about 3-4 days. I would get really bad hot flashes and deep aching cramps with my periods (even on birth control). My hormones were all over the place. I’m on my 3rd pack (I skip my periods). I was scared to go back on birth control because of how nauseous and crazy I felt on my other type. I have not had anything negative happen so far with Beyaz. I’m pretty sure I’ve lost a pound or two, haven’t had any period bleeding or symptoms (bye-bye hot flashes), my boobs are very tender and have grown like 2 cup sizes, they’ve grown so much that I feel like they’re in the way now, lol. Well, with bigger boobs comes forth a very excited boyfriend, but now I literally have no sex drive. I feel bad, haha. I used to, but now I don’t. Overall, I 10/10 recommend. It’s a game changer."
