CamreseLo and Bleeding: What Users Say

For Birth Control "I have been using a combination of Camrese Lo/Lo Seasonique for 8 years now (used Lo Seasonique for about 2 years sometime in the middle. Purely just an insurance company issue). It took a good year to a year and a half for my body to fully adjust. I used to get horrible periods with heavy bleeding and cramps so bad that I would have to stay home because I would need a bathroom every hour. After starting this, my periods got lighter and way more manageable. During the first year, I couldn’t get through a whole pack without having some bleeding. Over time, my body got used to it, and now, all these years later, I rarely get a period at the end of the pack. If I do, it’s very light and doesn’t last more than a few days. No issues with weight gain or acne. I would certainly recommend this pill, but I would definitely say you have to give it some time for your body to adjust. Getting on a 3-month cycle won’t happen overnight, so be patient."

For Birth Control "Took 9 mos to regulate. I've been on this for almost 2 years now. I was prepared to wait because many years ago, I was on Seasonale, so I knew it would take 2-3 packs (each pack is 3 months) for results. Dealt with spotting and irregular bleeding in the beginning. Cramps went away with the first period. Well worth the 9 mo wait because now only 4 periods per year that last 3 days with light bleeding and zero cramps. I'm 42 yrs and a plus with CamreseLo is it gave me my sex drive back once it was regulated in my system. Well worth the adjustment period!"

For Birth Control "I've been taking Camrese Lo for about a month now. I haven't had any serious side effects like nausea, heartburn, or abnormal bleeding. But I have been getting some acne, which is actually very inconvenient being that I'm going away in 2 days. These aren't just little pimples you pop and have no worries, but they're sore pimples that give headaches. I don't normally have pimples, so this is a lot for me. Other than that, it's pretty okay, just the acne is a complete blow."

For Birth Control "I'm going to post what some other people have mentioned: You apparently need to give your body quite a bit of time with this. I started taking mine in August and am now on my final few pills before I need a new pack. In August, I was free of spotting. In September, I practically had a regular period. In October, lighter but longer. It's almost constant now, but very light. I was debating even getting another pack because I hate bleeding, but apparently sticking with it for a year will cause your body to start responding without the spotting. Let's hope!"

For Birth Control "I took Camrese Lo for about two years, and my only huge complaint was the breakthrough bleeding. In the 3 month pill pack, I got breakthrough bleeding 2 different times for over a week (usually 9 days). This happened for every pill pack, and I eventually got too fed up with it, so I recently switched and am going to start taking Ortho Tri Cyclen. I had a few other minor side effects like occasional loss of sex drive and mood swings, but nothing major."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I was prescribed this pill because as I get older my periods have gotten worse. Constant pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, etc. I've had a tubal ligation, so I was frustrated when my doctor recommended this, but I figured I'd give it a try. A couple of things I do like about it are that it cleared up my skin and my breast size has increased. With that said, my breasts are constantly sore, which is annoying. I have been on it for 6 weeks, and in that time I have gained 8 lbs. The worst thing about this pill is that I have bled every day for 6 straight weeks. I was told to start it on Sunday even if it was the first day of my period, which it was. My periods are typically heavy but only last about 5 days. I bled heavily for 12 days and have had spotting, or more, every day since with no end in sight. I understand that this can be common during the first few months, but it is incredibly frustrating. It's heavy enough that I have to use a tampon on most days. Plus, I have cramps all the time now."
