For Birth Control "I looked for some positive reviews before starting this birth control a doctor recommended and didn’t see many but still gave it a try. I suffer from endometriosis (have had laparoscopy, one successful, last one unsuccessful) and have tried MANY birth controls that did not help my symptoms. (Pills, Nexplanon, Depo) I spotted on Daysee from day 1 until I finished week 12, which made it hard to continue, but I’m glad I stuck with it, now only having a period every three months has helped me so much. I still have symptoms of endo: pain, nausea, bloating randomly even not on my cycle (normal with endo). But overall, I feel a lot better on this pill than not. Not many side effects I’ve noticed. It has completely cleared up my hormonal adult acne, which is a major plus. I feel normal again compared to how bad a condition I was in before with my endometriosis pain. If that is your reason for looking into trying this, I recommend it."

For Birth Control "If I could give this a zero, I would. When I started it, it extended my period by over a week. I went about a week and a half without bleeding, and when I was under the assumption I wouldn’t bleed for two months, I have now been bleeding for two weeks again. It made me very tired and extremely depressed. I find myself crying almost every day over things I typically wouldn’t cry over. I became very bloated quickly, and my breasts have continued to get bigger every day since beginning this medication. I understand medication affects everyone differently, but if you have a choice, I suggest finding a different birth control."

For Birth Control "I was on Lo Loestrin Fe before, and that was my first birth control. It did help with some pain but not all of it, and it did aid my ovarian cyst, however, the depressive cycles I went through were far too intense to stay on. So being switched to Daysee, I was hesitant because I didn't know what to anticipate. By far the worst experience I've had in a long time. The cramps and pain are every single day, 24/7, excruciating pain in my pelvic area, constant headaches that were aided by no headache medicine. Bloating and weight gain despite being on a diet and exercising, and a completely non-existent sex drive. Eight weeks of taking it, and I have decided to stop taking it, as I can't deal with the side effects and how it only worsens my pain instead of helping it. So frustrating trying to find a birth control that helps and doesn't ruin me in the process."

For Birth Control "Absolutely horrific. At first, it seemed to give me some relief from the debilitating cramps I got for like a week straight every month, but then the cramps came back with a vengeance. I had cramps every single day for a month, literally. Despite not eating any more than before, eating healthily and working out constantly, I gained over 10 lbs and felt bloated and sick. I just decided one day to stop taking it. I figured it wasn't helping and was probably making it worse. I threw them away and feel better already. I hate this medication. It's horrible. For me, it felt like poison. It made my moods worse, energy lower, and I was always exhausted. It's garbage."

For Birth Control "Really thought this was gonna work for endo pain and seemed to in the beginning, however, the side effects are not worth it whatsoever. I have been bleeding for three weeks now, bloated every single day to the point I thought I was pregnant. I’m tired all the time, I’m breaking out, headaches, and have period cramps, which I never had before, let alone a period - now I don’t stop bleeding or bloating! Absolute worst medication I’ve ever been on, and I’ve been on birth control for almost 15 years."
