For Birth Control "Great birth control, been using for 4 months now. Only thing is I have bad acne literally everywhere, on my shoulders, back, face, and butt. I’ve never had this happen before, it’s like tiny cysts that I’m unable to pop. It’s been terrible. Besides that, it’s great. Even helped me with my appetite to gain weight."

For Birth Control "This was my first birth control I've ever had. My skin was clear, but once I started taking this, I had the worst acne. I was bloated, went from a size 3 to 7 within a week. I was nauseous, my breasts were tender and swollen. My appetite increased. The only good thing about it was it increased my sex drive. I switched to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, and I actually liked it, but the only thing is it decreased my sex drive. Now I'm on Aubra since Planned Parenthood doesn't have it anymore, so far, no side effects."

For 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."

For Birth Control "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."
