"I have been using Quasense since 2011 due to heavy periods. My urogynecologist thought it would be a good idea to switch to this birth control. I have noticed that after a year, I stopped getting periods despite taking that week off each month, but I was told this is normal. I am happy not to have really painful periods and don't have any complaints."

"Currently almost the 3rd week in the first month, I noticed immediately the change. I started the pill the first Sunday after the first day of my period, it killed my period dead in its tracks, stopped all heavy bleeding. I don't feel any more cysts or deadly sharp pains. This product works as far as getting rid of the period, but the side effects are bad. I feel bipolar. I'll be so angry with life, then I'll get depressed, then I'll be lethargic for days. It's only been 3 weeks, and I KNOW I have to let my body get used to these new pills, but it's hard mentally. I'm rarely happy. No sex drive. No energy. I am starting to get some of the sharp pains back, as well as throwing up after every time I eat and constantly dizzy."

"I started using Quasense to control my endometriosis during basic training. It worked great! I had a little cramping during the last 2 weeks of the cycle, but other than that, it worked perfectly for what I needed it to do. No spotting for me!"

"I know I'm still on my first pack and onto week 9, but I've been nauseous, bloated, very moody, and depressed for most of this time. And honestly, that would be bearable, but 20 days of moderate to heavy bleeding with full-on cramps that make me want to curl into a ball and cry has pretty much made me homicidal, and I now hate all men. I wish I were exaggerating, and if it wasn't for my fertility hanging on the line for me giving this an honest shot, I would've stopped after day seven."
