For Birth Control "I had to switch BC after 6 years of taking the combination pill because I suddenly started to experience aura migraines. My last oral contraceptive option was Slynd, so I gave it a try. I am quitting after a month. The main reason: I missed my period. I don't like to miss a period. It triggers my anxiety. I am even still recovering from my last anxiety attack that lasted 3 days because of this problem. I just need a confirmation that I am not pregnant, so I rely on the withdrawal bleeding every month. If you feel the same way, I wouldn't recommend this pill. My mood also changed throughout the month, not for the better. Felt a bit more depressed than usual, lol."

For Birth Control "If you are a young girl and do not have headaches or blood clotting disorders, DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!! Even if you do have headaches, just get the combination pill and take an Advil. This pill consumed my life for six months. I had my period EVERY WEEK! My hormones were all out of whack since I was only getting progestin, so this caused me to become extremely depressed. When I told my primary care doctor about what my gynecologist prescribed me, she was baffled because this pill was made for women 35 or older! She put me on a combination pill and it’s currently working its magic to keep me protected (which the other pill was not as protective as this one for a girl my age) and it’s in the process of regulating my periods, which I still get irregularly for the time being."

For Birth Control "This stuff is terrible. I took it for one month and had the craziest pain and blood clots, headaches, constipation, anxiety, depression, acne. Don’t take it."
