"I've been on it for a month, and so far, I've gotten 2 periods that lasted for 8-10 days, and I know it's because my body isn't used to it, but hopefully it gets normal in about 2 more months. If not, I'm switching to a different birth control."

"I had never taken any other oral contraceptive prior to Lessina. I believe the decision to order this low-dose option for me was based on my relatively small size, 103 pounds. I took it for 4 months. During that time, I had the worst acne of my life and was nauseated every day, and I had migraine headaches with vomiting at work, which ceased when I quit taking the pill. My PMS symptoms were also worse. The price has been volatile. In March 2016, I paid $8.82 (which seemed like a great deal) to get a 28-day pack from Walmart for home delivery. In July 2016, the same pack from Walmart for home delivery cost $21.92. My health insurance is provided by a Catholic employer, so these are uncovered expenses."

"I’ve been on this pill for a good year and a half or so. I started because after having my second daughter, I hadn’t gotten my period for a year. She was exclusively breastfed as was her older sister (got my period back with her at 10 months old). So it’s been very effective in preventing pregnancy, and I have had no bad side effects until recently. Within the past 3 to 4 months, I’ve noticed I’ve been having mood swings, emotional outbursts, and horrible migraines (which historically I’ve never had), decreased libido (hubs works a lot now so no big deal), dizziness, and fogginess. Throughout the course of using, I did notice depressive emotions. I’ve now been off for about 1.5 weeks, and my headaches are lessened, and I’m noticing positive mood changes, however, my uterus and lower back are in mild discomfort and pain. My appetite has also gone back to normal, so no overeating, lol. I want my girls to have a happy mama."

"Based on my experience with this pill so far (3 months), I would not recommend it. I get very nauseous after taking it and have had a low mood (tired and depressed). I also get indigestion now, which I never had prior to taking."

"WORST BC EVER! I had used this after giving birth to my son. I would get really bad nausea that would last a week and would make me think I'm pregnant every month, it would do that, then I would get my period. I've had horrible depressed thoughts and just a horrible, horrible experience with this pill. I didn't gain or lose weight. Did have some acne blotches every now and then."

"I’ve been on it for about 4 months. This is the start of the 5th month and since I started the pack (6 days in). Nausea! I take it at night before bed after a meal, and I wake up around 5, horribly sick. I end up throwing up and still not feeling better. But other than that, I loved it. Never gained weight or had acne."

"I have been on Lessina for six months. So far, the only side effects I’ve experienced are weight gain, clear skin, and sleeping a lot. I honestly like the pills."

"Do not take Lessina! I developed blood clots in my lungs, for which I was hospitalized and almost died! Do not take this."

"This pill Lessina caused spotting every time I took it, and gave me a cyst with very bad cramps and often caused dizziness."

"I have gained weight, and my depression has gotten worse. I had the Mirena before, so there is no comparison."

"I started Lessina about 2 months ago. I really like it. It has stopped my period altogether. My acne has gone away completely. I’m very happy with it."

"Pros: short periods, no mood swings, no acne, increased sex drive. Cons: ~10 lbs of weight gained over a couple of months."

"Got my period weeks early. I feel tired all the time. I’m currently experiencing the worst headache I've ever had in my life! I highly advise AGAINST taking this birth control!"

"Rarely notice the side effects, sometimes nausea, maybe once or twice a year. Other than that, no complaints."

"Great BC. I am sensitive to others. It took me 2 months to deal with some of the moody side effects, but other than that, my period is very light and consistent, and I recommend."
