For Birth Control "I started Balziva a month ago because of my fibroids. I was taking Junel, and I was experiencing breakthrough bleeding and heavy periods. So far, I've been happy with it. I experienced breast tenderness and fullness. No breakthrough bleeding. Slight cramping a week before my period. My period seems a little lighter than normal. No acne nor weight gain. I did feel a little more hormonal, slightly more agitated, but no overly moody. I would recommend this pill."

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control pill going on about 2 months now. The pill was supposed to stop my menstrual cycle due to severe cramps and inability to function when on my cycle. I originally was on Vyflema, but the prescription changed when I went to a different pharmacy, and how the regime was supposed to be taken changed as well. Problems started as minor spotting and very mild cramps to continuous spotting/bleeding and cramps every day for the past 3 weeks. I thought at first it was because my body was trying to get used to skipping the placebo pills from the first pack, however, every day the bleeding and cramping got worse during the second pack. I called my doctor today to have me switched to something else."

For Birth Control "I love Balziva. I was on it for about 8 years before my pharmacy switched it and had serious side effects with the new birth control. Went back to Balziva. I have very little, if not no, weight gain with this pill, no mouth ulcers like my last pill did, mild PMS, and no cramps. Works great, but once again, everybody is different."

For Birth Control "Please do not take this pill! I took a different pill for 5 years prior to starting Balziva, and I’m very upset I ever switched. Balziva caused me horrid mood swings daily, increased anger for no reason, weight gain, acne (after never having it before), cramps (again, after never having them before), etc. I felt like a MONSTER on this pill. I also was very emotional for the 5 months I was on it, crying without cause, easily getting upset, it was HORRIBLE. I would not recommend this pill to my worst enemy. I stayed on it for that long to see if I was just regulating changes, but I was wrong. Been off it for a week and a half and am already starting to feel like myself again."

For Birth Control "I started Balziva because I was having irregular periods (every 7-10 days). Within 3 months, my period was regular. I did not gain weight because of the pill, but it did cause my breasts to get a bit bigger. I still get periods on this pill lasting 2-6 days, with only one day of bad cramping, and they tend to be light. The lack of side effects makes this a good choice. The cost is a bit much where I get it currently, at around 17 dollars a month."

For Birth Control "I've taken this birth control for 4 months now. I have irregular bleeding and cramping from it. It seems like I'm always bleeding rather than not. Didn't work for me."
