For Birth Control "My daughter is 15 and has very heavy periods. Her doctor recommended this pill to help. It has been a complete nightmare! And it's only been 6 weeks. She has had some GI issues in the past, so we thought the issues were due to that. However, within the first month (close to her period), she was in severe pain: lower abdominal with back, shoulder, leg pains with tingling, headaches, dizziness, vomiting, 4 lb weight gain (and she's very active), bloated, loss of appetite, acne around her mouth and chin, and then all of a sudden the extreme depression and anxiety. Due to her previous issues, we didn't equate it to the pill. We've been to hospitals, specialists, and not once did anyone say anything about the birth control she was on. After reading the reviews of Blisovi, it all made sense. We are taking her off of this starting today. This is a very dangerous drug!"

For Birth Control "Blisovi 24 is the first and only birth control I've tried. I'm 3 months in and so far, so good. I experienced severe nausea the first day, but it quickly subsided within 24 hours. I had to wait 2 months for my PMS symptoms to improve, but boy did it. No more cramps, bloating, or nausea. In terms of acne, I had a pretty bad flare-up, particularly for the first month. Like 'no space on my face that didn't have a pimple' kind of flare-up. By 3 months, my skin is back to baseline and has a healthy glow to it. I'm hopeful that it'll help clear up my acne over time."

For Birth Control "I took this birth control back in April for 4 months. I didn’t have any horrible symptoms, and I got my period normally. Until I started feeling bloated and nauseous. That’s until my doctor told me I was pregnant. I had taken the pill EVERY day at the exact same time. This pill failed on me. I was happy I didn’t have horrible symptoms. However, since it failed me, I was very disappointed and upset. I honestly don’t recommend this pill for anyone trying to prevent pregnancy."

For Birth Control "If I could give a 0, I would. Asian female, 24 years of age. This is my first time taking this brand. Doctor prescribed these for ovarian cysts and irregular and painful periods. The first week; I noticed acne on my face, which was unfortunate because my skin is always clear prior to these pills. Second week; tiredness, bloating, and constipation. Third week; I have constant mild abdominal cramps. I started having hot flashes/waves during the day. I have trouble sleeping solidly at night and would get up to pee at least once a night. My throat started hurting. Fourth week, I wake up in a pool of sweat, even though the house is at 67 degrees! I’d pull out clumps of hair in the shower. I’m worried that it’s causing me more harm than it’s doing good. I’m stopping these today. WORST PILLS EVER. DO NOT TAKE THESE! Seriously, do yourself a favor and ask for something else."

For Birth Control "I was switched to Blisovi when my doctor increased my dosage after 6 years on Reclipsen. After 2 months, I am still having headaches, extreme breast pain, back pain, random spotting (usually 2 weeks before my period is supposed to happen). I have never missed a period in 16 years and didn't have one once I started this pill, but have spotted and had cramps and breast pain throughout the pack. The side effects are terrible. I'm active and eat healthy, but still have constant bloating, breast discomfort, and I'm exhausted. Trying to get on a new pill as soon as possible. I won't give this another month."

For Birth Control "I have been on Blisovi for over a year, and just recently I have decided to switch. This was my first BC, so I had no clue what to expect, so when I spotted nearly every month, I thought it was normal. After talking with my doctor, she told me it was obviously not, but to give it more time. It never stopped, and I have basically had two periods every month for the duration of me taking it (and I take it at the same time every day). As well as spotting, I have terrible mood swings, bad cramps, bloating, and my anxiety has increased. The only positives I have about this BC are that I have no acne, and I have not experienced any weight gain."

For Birth Control "I was on Minastrin Fe for years and had no problems. Just like most of us, insurance changes screwed everything up. I have to get the GENERIC version, but it's 'exactly the same.' The bloating sucks, and it hurts. The lower back aches radiate flames, I think. Cysts in my ovaries feel like sharp knives catching me in the gut if I move too fast. And I don't think my nipples have ever hurt this bad in my life. The pain is crippling. It radiates into my pelvic bone, hips, and thighs. And I'm only one and a half months in. Seriously not a good pill. Calling the doc in the morning."

For Birth Control "This has been my favorite birth control I have ever tried. I was on June FE 1/20 for 2 years, and I loved it except I was experiencing chronic yeast infections. My doctor switched me to Sprintec, which didn’t help the infections and also wrecked my mental health. Then I decided to try the Paragard IUD, which I mostly enjoyed, but it became misplaced. After all that, they put me on Lo Loestrin, which was by far the worst. Acne, depression, and bad nausea. Finally, I was switched to Blisovi, and my skin is better, no change in weight, better mental health, and light, regular (almost to the hour) periods. All birth controls affect us differently, but for me, I’m glad I finally found the winner! Only downside is some nausea and bloating around the first day of my period, but I’ll take it!"

For Birth Control "Bad! Bad! I wouldn’t recommend, I had severe mood swings and was nervous all the time. My stomach was bloated all the time while on it. This pill made me feel like I was disconnected from the world. It always made my period have clots as well, and that never happened before until I got on this pill. I didn’t gain weight, which is fine. I also noticed I had really bad back pain, and this pill caused a yeast infection!"

For Birth Control "Terrible! I have gained weight and frequently have stabbing pain in abdomen and lower back, and severe painful bloating! This tablet is the worst, don't take it!"
