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 "This is the 3rd generic I have been on. When my pharmacy switched me to Aurovela, I started bleeding through all of the active pills, and I don’t bleed on the last week of the pack. Worst pill I have ever been on. Bleeding for 3 weeks each month is horrible!"

For Birth Control "I didn’t like this Aurovela Fe 1.5/30 pill at all. I get my period twice a month, and it makes me bleed a lot. It also makes me gain weight and makes me anxious and depressed. The only positive thing is that I don’t get acne, but so far, this is one of the worst pills I ever tried. The best for me was Microgestin. I only got this one because my pharmacy changed it."

For Birth Control "I've been on Aurovela for 8 months, and while the side effects have calmed somewhat, I'm still experiencing them. This gave me the worst diarrhea ever - to the point that I'm crying in pain and taking antidiarrhea medicine weekly. I've never had bathroom issues before starting this pill, and it hasn't gone away. Breakthrough bleeding also hasn't stopped. I'm bleeding for weeks on active pills, and it's been extremely frustrating. I'm finally switching to something else that will hopefully get rid of these horrible side effects."

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 "This is easily the worst birth control I have been on. It doesn’t stop my bleeding, and I bleed randomly throughout the month. The months I have taken this birth control have been some of the worst months ever."
