For Birth Control "I was on Ava 30 but got switched to Levlen from my doctor. I had the absolute worst experience. I got extreme stomach pains and had to get internal exams done, with nothing coming back in results. I also experienced chest pain while on Levlen and was sent to get X-rays and exams done on my lungs - again nothing in the results. I didn’t have a clue what was happening to me! I gained about 15 kilograms on this pill, had intense headaches and no libido at all. I was extremely emotional and had intrusive and suicidal thoughts often. For me, this was horrid and once I came off it, the symptoms disappeared within weeks. Worst couple of years of my life."

For Birth Control "I had migraines for years until I switched to this pill. Now I no longer have headaches. I think it is due to the low dose of hormones in the pill."

For Birth Control "I could not tolerate Levlen at all. Breakthrough bleeding, as well as panic attacks and full-on anxiety. Was not a nice experience at all. Was fine when I changed to a different pill."

For Birth Control "I got pregnant on this. Would take it every day without fail, and I wasn’t on any other medications that could have lowered its effectiveness. 0/10 birth control."
