For Birth Control "This birth control requires incredible patience for your body to get used to it. In the first year of taking it, I was bleeding every day and gained 25 lbs. After the first year though, light spotting every now and then. Normal period bleeding (light bleeding) now occurs every 3-4 months, which I'm super thankful for. I’ve been taking Amethyst for almost 5 years now and have no regrets!"

For Birth Control "This is horrible!! I’m bleeding like I have my period. I gained weight, my boobs are like 2 sizes bigger and hurt a lot. On top of that, crazy mood changes... I’m so disappointed about these pills, I wish I would have read these comments before starting to take it. I would have never done it."

"After 8 years of serious depression (tried 8 different types of birth control), I went cold turkey. During that 7 years, I developed massive cystic acne, and the depression went away. My cramps are incapacitating. My cycle before BC was 1 day of cramps, then 5 to 7 days of medium flow. After BC, it was 3 days of spotting, then 1 day of cramps and 3 more days of spotting. The pain wasn't worth the nonexistent cycle, so I decided to try a different BC. I took this for 3 months. My stomach bloats within an hour of taking it and after 2 months with no period, I started spotting with 2% of my cramping pain, so I stopped taking it. Then I noticed my cystic acne just stopped. I decided to take it again since there was zero depression and again, I'm spotting with 2% cramp pain, but I also noticed the spotting is dark brown, I have gained 7 lbs, and I'm pretty sure 'the girls' are more plump."
