For Birth Control "I've been taking this birth control, Aurovela Fe 1.5/30, for 3 months now. I must admit this is the best birth control pill ever. My weight says the same. Haven't had any headaches. My boobs are sore sometimes. My period was normally heavy, but now I'm 2 days, if that, spotting. I highly recommend it. Best decision I made."

For Birth Control "I have had the worst symptoms while taking Aurovela Fe 1.5/30 for the last 3 months. My boobs have been sore, I feel like I'm pregnant all the time. Let's not talk about my weight gain, headaches, nausea, eating heavily, mood swings, severe back pain, bad taste, and tight stomach. It's been awful, it starts a week before my cycle and lasts a week after. I was taking Microgestin and have been for years. I have never had so many horrible symptoms in my life. I always ask about Microgestin, and it's like they took it away and switched it with Junel, which wasn't terrible, and now this. I will be calling and informing my doctor and changing to something I can feel comfortable with."

For Birth Control "4 months on this birth control pill, Aurovela Fe 1.5/30 (my first time using birth control), and I gained about 15 pounds, have sore breasts constantly, and get really cranky and mean one week a month (not associated with my period though...) It helped regulate my periods, but I decided to go off it due to the other effects (side effects outweighed the regulating of period)."

For Birth Control "My doctor first prescribed me Microgestin, but they were out of it, so they gave me Junel. At first, I was scared because of the reviews, but after 3 months of taking it, everything was going quite okay. Went to get a refill, and the pharmacy switched my prescription AGAIN. On day 4, and my breasts and stomach are hella sore, I feel like they’re just swelling. No headaches or rapid mood swings, but I think my antidepressant is helping a bit with that. Hopefully, things get better!!"

For Birth Control "This birth control has been the best experience so far! The lower dose pack, I believe 1/20, caused me some major symptoms. My boobs would hurt walking down the stairs for half of the month, and I’d feel like I could get my period at any moment. The constipation caused by this also led to GI issues, which almost led to a long path I will not get into. I was tirelessly trying to lose weight, and nothing would budge, my face and arms would just show how much water I was retaining. The constipation didn’t help matters either. Once I increased the dose with my gyn to the 1.5/30, my problems were solved! This all happened to me because insurance switched me off Gildess without my knowing. Just wish it didn’t take me 8 months to diagnose what was going on, but hopefully my post can be of some help to others."

For Birth Control "I just started taking this brand/formula. I’m almost done with the first pack. So far, my side effects have been very tender breasts, vaginal irritation, and more discharge than usual, maybe some mood swings, and maybe an increase in appetite. I haven’t had any spotting yet. I believe my breasts might’ve grown considering they were very tender. I said maybe mood swings because I did have a few minor upsets, which did seem somewhat irrational. I also have been eating more, I believe, but I’ve been trying to work out so I don’t gain any unwanted fat. I’ll come back to update my experience after my first period, which should be in a week. Then I’ll continue to update my side effects as the months go by. Before trying this birth control, I looked at the reviews listed on here and became extremely discouraged. I’ve been on birth control for 4 years now and have switched my formula/brand for the third time now. Going to give honest and experienced feedback!"
