For Birth Control "This birth control made me miserable. By the completion of the first week, I started to get these crippling headaches, nausea, and dizziness. I also experienced a couple of episodes of serious night sweats. I was extremely sad the entire time I was on it. To top all of that off, I never stopped bleeding! That's right, I've been bleeding for 3 weeks straight and counting. Finally, my mother and husband had to force me off the stuff because they saw how miserable I was. The only positive was that my skin cleared up a great deal. It just wasn't for me."

For Birth Control "Was on Seasonique for a couple of years, it worked extremely well. Hardly any breakthrough bleeding. Camrese started out okay, but within a couple of months, the bleeding began and would not stop. I had consistent spotting for months. I am now just coming off this pill and have started with a new one. Hope this one stops the bleeding!!!"

For Birth Control "I've been on this birth control for six months. Pros: sex drive is out of control, light period, period every three months which is wonderful, short period (I'm taking 3-4 days, light bleed), no cramps, no bloating. Cons: took my pills before bed, and the night sweats are a bummer, breakthrough bleeding here and there until month four (took a while to adjust)."

For Birth Control "It's been 7 months since I've been on Camrese. At first, I had lots of breakthrough bleeding for almost 5 months, which I knew was going to happen, but I didn't know it would last that long! I was starting to get concerned, but now that it's gone away, I am so relieved. It has also made my face drier, which is a plus for me since I used to have oily skin and break out a lot. I've had no other side effects that I know of, so it's been really great! It's the first birth control I've tried, and I would recommend it!"

For Birth Control "I had my daughter March 30, 2018, she was a preemie baby. After my 3 weeks of healing, I started this birth control, and I’ve been bleeding ever since. Today is May 31, 2018, and I’m still bleeding heavily. I used to take this birth control as a teenager, and it used to stop my period for a few months at a time, and when I did get a period, it wasn’t heavy, and it only lasted 3-4 days. It also made me lose a bunch of weight. I don’t know what the difference is, but something is totally different here."

For Birth Control "I suggest this BC anytime someone asks or complains about their BC or their period. However, I will note it is best when you take the actual Camrese and not a “comparable” med. I switched pharmacies because one always gave me Ashlynna as a substitute, and I definitely noticed way more breakthrough bleeding, plus the package is cardboard, and if it gets wet (I travel a lot and carry water bottles), the case will fall apart, vs. actual Camrese the package is plastic and much more durable. I have taken this almost 3 years now, and it’s GREAT. No pregnancies and a period only 3 months. The only thing I will say is I start spotting that third month and randomly sometimes before the placebo week, but it is just as stated... spotting. NOT a full-blown period. Cramps are barely existent, and my flow is not as heavy. Plus, an actual period only comes during placebos. Best pill I’ve ever tried, and I’ve been on birth control almost a decade."

For Birth Control "I’ve always had horrible period cramps, and this is the second pill brand I’ve tried. I haven’t stopped bleeding since I started taking this pill, and my sex drive is at 0."

For Birth Control "This BC is horrible. Going into my 3rd month and I haven't stopped bleeding yet. So much for the no months."
