"This was my miracle pill! I have PCOS and it caused me cystic nodular acne all over my body and face, i got 4 months worth of samples (thanks Doc) and it was the best thing id ever done for my body! my acne cleared up, i got NO headaches, my breasts grew from a D to a DD (yassss!) and my ovarian cysts went from 8cm to 1.5cm! unfortunately my insurance denied my prior auth on this drug and I'm on Ocella, which they decide to drop also lol, so yea fml. I'm on "Zarah" now (zara is my actual name too lol ) and I'm liking it too, but if this fails I'm going back to Beyaz! its the best pill there is for me with no side effects!"

"So I have been taking this medication as a treatment for PCOS. I started off taking Aygestin to start my menstrual cycle and soon after started taking Beyaz to regulate my cycles. It has been doing the job very well so far. I have actually lost 13 lbs from being on it. I lost the 13 lbs during the first week and still remain the same weight, though it fluctuates and depends on how much I eat or what I eat."

"I am 19, was diagnosed with PCOS at 17. I’ve been taking this pill on and off for three years. I often try to stay off Birth control of all kind, but if I find myself in a position where I need to take it I’ll ALWAYS turn to this pill. I find it does WONDERS for my acne and pores, I also find myself losing weight out of nowhere (though I believe it’s only water weight). Since I’ve taken this pill on and off more times than I’d like to admit there are times where I’ll take it and the mood swings are unbearable, there are also times where I’ll take it and I find it actually IMPROVES my mood. I’m not sure why this is but It might have to do with my overall mindset at the times. I would definitely try it out if you’re looking for a new birth control, no harm no foul, from what I’ve heard and experienced this pill could change your life for the better, or become the bane of your existence."

"Working well for me. I requested this medication from my gynecologist post pregnancy. Lifelong mood swings controlled, no weight gain, breasts got larger, symptoms of PCOS almost disappeared, as well as stabilizing my thoughts & behaviors due to premenstrual dysphoric disorder. I got pregnant in my early 30's after unsuccessful attempts for conception. I didn't know prior to pregnancy that I had PCOS but in hindsight, it made sense. The drosperinone at the higher dose found in Safyral made all the difference for me."

"I don't know what to do. I just started taking Beyaz a little less than 2 weeks ago. And already, I want to cry when I want to hear sad music or music for reminiscing. I am tired all the time. I have some trouble sleeping and did get nightmares a few times. I have PCOS and endometriosis. But I am missing my sanity. My doctor prescribed me Beyaz for 6 months. And I am to skip the sugar pills, which I read can be deadly."
