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 "Was on Camrese for 3 months, no issue. Insurance then switched to Daysee (another generic). 2 weeks in, I've had non-stop spotting (never had it in my life), insane acne, and absolutely no sex drive. Worst birth control I have had in my life, and I am switching back to a 1-month pill."

For Birth Control "I have stage 4 endo, with two laps. I’m 22 years old. I tried the implant, IUD, all were terrible. I have chronic pelvic pain and severe acne. Endo is no fun, as we know! This pill seems to make me very, very tired and exhausted. I've been crying a lot, and the spotting was terrible! I started the placebo pills and got back on track because I was tired of bleeding and the pain! My acne has been insane after starting this! I’m trying to hold on a little longer to see if it will subside and start to help! It doesn’t seem to help with pelvic pain though."

For Birth Control "I started off on a low dose birth control pill (Camrese Lo) and experienced NON-STOP bleeding for almost 3 weeks. It was not spotting, it was a heavy flow for almost a month straight. My doctor changed my prescription to Daysee, and within 3 days my bleeding stopped. I have had little problems with spotting, just every now and then. I am 5'8" and 135 pounds, I've been on the birth control for about 6 months, and I have NOT gained any weight. I also have had no problems with hair loss or acne. I do have mood swings, but I had those before birth control... LOL. By the way, this is my first birth control ever! I take my pill at 9 PM, sometimes, if I take it too late, I will spot the next day, but it is SUPER light and resolves within hours. I use this for BC, and I have unprotected sex with my partner regularly, no scares!"

For Birth Control "When I first got on Daysee, it was great. No period for 3 months, and it was generally lighter. Been on it for about 5 years now? I didn't get the spotting and breakthrough bleeding they claim you get until now, when I've been on it for so long. I don't know what went wrong, but I hate it now. I start spotting around month two, then it gradually gets heavier, which I assume is my period starting. The bleeding doesn't stop until like a week after starting my new pack? I've been trying to keep taking them because maybe it's something I was doing wrong, but it's been going on for about a year or two, and I am so over it. I'd rather go back to my 5-day heavy period before birth control than to be bleeding for over a month. Pads aren't cheap."
