For Birth Control "I wanted to come back and review again. It's been almost four whole months on Amethyst. I had bleeding for the first 37 days on it. Headaches and feeling sick as well. By month two, things were evening out, and I went probably three weeks with no bleeding, to occasional spotting. Since then, it's been spotting regularly, and these past few days I've been bleeding very heavily. I think it's time to go back to the doctor. Another issue is acne. I'm breaking out horribly."

For Birth Control "On my first pack. Started on day 3 of my period and have been miserable ever since. Nausea, cramping, acne, headaches, and bleeding for 23 days straight. Not spotting, but actual bleeding, and sometimes heavy with big clots. I know it takes time, but at this point, I'd rather deal with a regular period. After 3 weeks, my breasts are extremely tender. Don't know how much longer I'll last on this pill."

For Birth Control "I have horrible headaches with this birth control. I don’t know why. Besides that, everything is fine, but the headaches would last all day, it was horrible. Anyone else?"
