For Birth Control "This birth control may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. I was having terrible cramps, and after taking Trivora, they were much better. I also did not notice any changes in my mood like I had with other types of birth control."

For Endometriosis "I started taking this birth control when I was 17, and it really changed my life. Before I started taking it, I had horrible cramps right when my period started that would keep me in bed. I also had horrible PMS and would gain so much water weight before my period (up to five pounds). My PMS would also last up to a week. I think it did an excellent job of leveling out my hormones throughout the month. Although I did still have minor PMS symptoms, they were not nearly as bad as before I started the pill. Anyway, I recently had to go off the Trivora because I have been experiencing minor hive breakouts in the week leading up to my period, so the doctors are trying to figure out if it has to do with the pill or if another pill would help me more with this. However, we have not figured it out yet. If I can't find another pill that works for me, I would definitely consider going back on Trivora again."

For Birth Control "It did the job for the most part, which was preventing pregnancy. It didn’t really affect my mood. It lowered my libido and caused major vaginal dryness (it was like the Sahara down there), which made sex hurt very badly, and I would tear down there and bleed. That was the main reason I got off of it because I thoroughly enjoyed sex before, but this pill just ruined it for me. It also caused me to bleed heavily on my period, and my cramps were worse on the pill than off of it."
