Amethyst and Nausea: What Users Say

For Birth Control "My doctor recommended Amethyst, and the name was pretty, but my experience on it was NOT. I only lasted 3 months, and I’d say I probably had about 5 periods during that time. My periods would start in the middle of a pack; my cycle had been thrown out the window, and every day I wondered if I’d bleed or not. Believe it or not, that was the least of my issues on Amethyst-the worst issues being that I had completely broken out in cysts. It wasn’t just for the first month either; my skin continuously got worse for 3 months-I’d literally have a new pimple every day. Now, of course, this affected my confidence badly, but on top of that, I was feeling so low every day. I’d wake up ready to go back to bed. I was nauseous almost every day, but especially after I’d take this at night. So basically, cycle ruined, skin ruined, mental health ruined, BUT HEY, I HAD A SEX DRIVE! Yeah, no, not worth the last 3 months of my life down the drain for that."

For Birth Control "I have been taking Amethyst birth control pills since August of this year. I had spotting for a month now, no cramping, but I am a little moody from it. I heard it takes a while for your body to adjust to it. I haven’t had cramps or nausea, which I like about this. My period before used to make me so sick."

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."
