"Prescribed for cramps and to help with acne. Definitely helped with acne but not so much with cramps. Now I have medium cramps every period instead of every few periods, but at least I no longer have the really intense ones I had before. My period is more regular, which is great, but comes more frequently than before. My period is also shorter by a few days, which is pretty nice. My doctor said that it could take a few months to see changes with cramping. My pharmacy just switched me over to a different drug a few days ago with the same active ingredients."

"So, I read reviews for this med before starting exactly 1 week ago. I took Yaz years ago and loved it! I'm taking this primarily to help with my mood/hormonal imbalance (self-diagnosis) because I believe Yaz helped with that before. I saw reviews for this medicine, which made me skeptical, and I generally don't leave product reviews online, but I wanted to weigh in because these reviews help. I'm almost 35 years old - have only been taking for a week, and I have noticed a breakout on my face! I can't really tell if the meds are helping with my moods or not yet. Sometimes I think it does, but it could be the placebo effect. My plan is to try this for a 3-month cycle to see how my body reacts. After this, I'll either continue with this or go back to Depo-Provera. Meanwhile, I've also heard that the Plexus probiotic VitalBlome is getting good reviews for really helping with moods. I'm ordering that next week."

"I am a 39-year-old woman. I started taking Vestura five weeks ago to help with extreme mood swings during PMS. It's been 10 years since I last used birth control pills. I skipped the placebo pills and went into the next pack of active pills as advised by my doctor, but a week into the new pack I experienced medium-to-heavy breakthrough bleeding, cramps, nausea, and emotional distress, including crying spells and passive suicidal thoughts. I do have a history of anxiety and depression, but I'm concerned about continuing to take this pill if there's a possibility it's bringing on these intense emotions. I've decided to stop taking it rather than 'wait it out' another few months."
