For Endometriosis "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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I've been on Quasense for 7 weeks and 5 days, and as of today, I have been bleeding for 7 weeks straight! I started my 'period' 3 days after taking my first pill, and I haven't stopped bleeding since. The first 3-4 weeks were constant heavy bleeding, and then it began to taper off (actually giving me hope). Weeks 4-6 were pretty light, brown blood here and there (but still consistent daily) throughout the day, and I was even more hopeful. Week 6, the bleeding began to become heavy again... Now, here it is week 7, and I'm bleeding like I would be on my normal period! I'm OVER IT! This is STUPID!"

For Birth Control "Absolutely terrible. I never had chest or back acne; now I'm covered. I had excess discharge and bled every day (not enough for a period but more than spotting). I ended up with weird bumps all over my arms. My breasts swelled up and had sharp, shooting pains. After losing 20 pounds 3 years ago, I've gained 15 of it back in 2.5 months without any change in diet. My depression has been higher than it has been in a long time. I have no sex drive; how can I when I'm bleeding every day at unpredictable times? I wish I would've read these reviews before taking this medication. Do NOT take Quasense."

For Birth Control "Originally, I was on this pill, but then later given samples of Seasonique. That was the worst mistake ever! I was on Seasonique for 9 months and had breakthrough bleeding for 8.5 months! I switched back to Quasense, and ever since then, I haven't had a single problem. Awesome pill!"

For Birth Control "I've been on Quasense for about a year and a half, and I love it! I had breakthrough bleeding during my first pack (the first 3 months), but have not had bleeding since. My body just needed to get used to the change in hormones and not having my period every month. I did gain a little weight, but that could be unrelated. Big fan!"

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for a month today. I was already having heavy bleeding prior to my Dr. prescribing this birth control. The next day I started the pill I stopped bleeding for a whole wk, then the second week I began to spot. Followed by the third week, my period started to be heavy all over again with quarter-size blood clots. I contacted my Dr., he said that my body is still trying to get used to the pill, give it some time. This week again, I called the Dr. back because the bleeding seems to be getting worse, and the cramps are on a level of 20. He said again just keep taking them, and as the new month is approaching, a change can occur, if not, contact him again. I sure hope this pill works fast and stops the bleeding."

For Birth Control "I have been on this for 6 months. The first 3 months I was bleeding heavily and had very painful cramps (also, I had a cyst on my ovary that had ruptured). I absolutely hated it, but my doctor 'assured' me that it would take 3-4 months for my body to get used to the birth control, and I took her word for it. My next set was amazing! I didn't bleed until my sugar pills, but that leads me off to today. I was supposed to be off Thursday, and it's Sunday. I am still bleeding heavily, and I definitely do not want to bleed again for 3 months. Terrible experience, read reviews before getting on any birth control!"

For Birth Control "I used this birth control for 2 years, and it was awesome. I had a little breakthrough bleeding a couple of times, but other than that, I loved it."

For Birth Control "If I missed my dosing time by an hour, I spotted. Miss a day? Full-blown period. It prevents pregnancy because you are always bleeding. No, thank you."
