For Birth Control "HORRIBLE. I have been taking birth control for 7 years and have tried multiple brands. This is by far the worst one I have ever tried. I started this pill after my pharmacy changed my prescription from Bisolvi without my consent! I have been on this pill for only two weeks. I have been bleeding the entire time. I’m having awful cramping and acne. I have back pain and I am nauseous. I am diagnosed with depression and anxiety, so it is normal for me to feel low on a daily basis. But oh my goodness, I have been crying 2-5 times a day every single day. I am completely emotionally unstable. I am crying over everything and very jumpy/scared. If you are having problems with this pill, get off of it ASAP! I am miserable and exhausted."

For Birth Control "Horrible. Absolutely horrible. My pharmacy switched me from Junel to Aurovela. Here’s what I have experienced: headaches, nausea, dizziness, acne, crying, yeast infection, and probably worst of all, anger. Like, someone is going to get hurt, anger. In my 22 years on BC pills, this is the worst one. I’m going to stop these and wait till my next refill and insist I get Junel again."

For Birth Control "I started this pill less than a week ago after my pharmacy did not have my normal Loestrin, and I already have so many bad side effect symptoms. I have about 5 cystic acne pimples on my forehead when my skin was 100% clear before taking this pill. My cramps are so bad, and I am not even close to starting my period. I cannot stop eating all the time, I am always hungry and bloated. My mood swings are terrible, and I have never struggled with depression and anxiety, and it has been so bad. It has not even been a week! I am stopping this pill immediately after reading reviews and realizing that this pill is having the same effects on other people."

For Birth Control "This pill has changed my life for the worse. I have lost love and interest for things such as my sport, school, and hobbies. My acne got worse, and I have never been so depressed. I have gotten such low motivation and have anxiety attacks almost daily. I also overthink things that I have already gotten over. Please do not take this pill... there are better birth control options out there."

For Birth Control "This birth control made me have the worst acne of my life. It was so bad that I couldn’t push through it and decided to switch birth controls. On the plus side, this birth control did not cause me to have mood swings, headaches, or any anxiety. I only ended up taking the pill for two months because my acne was so awful."

For Birth Control "This birth control is by far the worst one I've ever been on. I would literally rather go back to Depo, and I bled for months on it! Walgreens switched from Taytulla to this, and Aurovela has given me the worst yeast infection, acne, mood swings. I have no appetite, my anxiety and depression have gotten worse, it's spiking my blood pressure, and my poor libido. I have to take antidepressants now. It did help ease my menstrual pain, I'll give it that, but these side effects are definitely not worth it. After reading other reviews, I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm stopping this ASAP!"

For Birth Control "Literally horrible, it works for some, but not me. I did break out at first, but I figured that was just normal because I had been on the IUD (which wasn’t working for me, I started to get chronic BV) then immediately started taking the pill. I figured it’s just my body reacting to the hormones…boy, was I wrong. I’ve been on this pill for 5+ months and never have had more terrible mood swings or bloating. It’s affecting my everyday life, and it didn’t click that it could be this birth control until other people shared similar stories. I’ve been on BC since I was 13 and now am 25, and never have had bloating, breakouts, or mood swings this bad. I’ve been on the depo shot (went off it because constant bleeding started after 4 years of no side effects) and the IUD too, and never had these types of problems. I’d advise never to take this pill, I seriously feel so emotionally unstable."

For Birth Control "I've been on this birth control for a month now, coming off of Tri Lo Sprintec, and it has made me very, very bloated. Breaking out a bit, but not sure if it's going to get worse. At times I feel very hungry, and other times I don't. It has helped with my anxiety during my period, but not sure if I can handle the bloating after I eat."

For Birth Control "I got put on this birth control 3 weeks ago, and I am not liking it at all. I’ve been on Mibelas 24 Fe for almost 8 years, and after my annual pap, my doctor prescribed me this. I’ve already gained weight, my face is breaking out, I CANNOT STOP EATING. This birth control is horrible, and I just want to stop it overall. I’ve already gained 10 lbs on this pill."

For Birth Control "I have had a good experience with Aurovela Fe 1.5/30, not spotting or getting pregnant. On the other hand, I have been taking it for about a month, and I have NEVER broken out this bad. I have massive, deep pimples in very obvious places."

For Birth Control "I would not recommend this BC. I was on Microgestin & absolutely loved it. This not so much. It broke my face out so bad. (I’ve never had acne, so I’m not sure if this is normal or not)... I could literally feel the pimples come out on my face. It burned so bad that I had to put ice on it. It makes me cramp so bad. Last month, I cramped so bad that I thought I was having a miscarriage. I was literally in tears. An hour later I was bleeding & was only on the beginning of week 3 pills. Today, it has me so crampy & sick feeling. I’m done with this brand."

For Birth Control "I decided to switch to Aurovela in hopes of having a new birth control that would finally help with my skin. After a couple of months of using it, I noticed my skin was more irritated and was breaking out more than before. Granted, it was also the start of the pandemic, but I also didn’t feel like myself mentally either. I began to break out on my shoulders and back as well, so after about 8 months or so, I decided to get off birth control altogether in hopes of my body going back to normal. 6 months later, I feel like my skin has improved with the help of Curology, but I also plan on getting on Yaz soon to see if that helps my cramps and acne flare-ups during my cycle."
