"This pill was great for the first 2 to 4 months. OK side effects included: weight loss, slight mood swings, cystic acne flare-ups, normal sex drive. BAD side effects: breakthrough bleeding that was brown, then red, then brown again for 2 months. Vag was very dry, would burn and itch, so uncomfortable, I had yeast infections for no reason too! The reason my GYN put me on this was that I had an ovarian cyst found in Oct '15, and each month after that when I'd get my period (which always lasted 3 days), I was in severe pain that required Vicodin or Percocet or Oxy to treat. I was off BC for 2 years prior to taking Levora. I can't take the breakthrough bleeding anymore, which is why I'm switching to Minastrin. Hopefully, that works better for me too..."

"I've been on this for almost 2 years, and every other birth control I've ever taken has given horrible hormonal side effects. This one is great. I don't feel crazy, I didn't gain any weight, and it helps decrease the pain from my cyst. I take only the pills and skip the placebos each month in order to shrink my cyst, which is in a tricky spot on my ovary and unable to be removed through surgery. I used to have to take a Percocet to not feel the pain, and it was frustrating. I only feel the occasional cramp, but nothing compared to the stabby feelings I used to endure. The only thing that sucks with this is the occasional reddish-brown goop that I think is my period refusing to die completely. My libido has also dropped SIGNIFICANTLY :( Anyone know a remedy for this?"
