For Birth Control "Everyone’s body is different, but here’s my experience so far: So I’ve been on this birth control for about 4 months now. I’ll first start off by saying I do like the birth control pill because it obviously keeps me from getting pregnant and also has made my periods lighter. They used to last about 6-7 days, and now only last around 4-5 days at the most. The first month or two, I did have some spotting in between my periods, but it subsided like the doc said it would. However, now that I’m 4 months in, I have noticed a significant change in my libido, it is currently nonexistent. Which is horrible, if I have to say, I could literally be “pleased” 2 times in a row, and it's like nothing ever happened. Along with dryness, I'm never in the mood to have sex, never think about it, NOTHING. Also, I have gained about 10 pounds almost since starting this birth control. I stay hungry all the time, like that sick feeling you get when you’re so hungry, that’s all the time for me."

For Birth Control "I've been on this birth control for about 10 months now. This helped a lot with my irregular periods. This was the only positive. I gained a lot of weight and bloated with this pill. My sex drive was nonexistent. I'm changing prescriptions."

For Birth Control "I started taking this drug in January of 2016, and for the first two months, everything was fine. After the first two months of having no side effects, things got bad. I got extremely painful cystic acne around my mouth, painful menstrual cramps, headaches, and I went from weighing 150 pounds to now 180 pounds. At the beginning, I barely had a period, but at the end, it was back to being the long and dreadful periods I once had. This birth control obviously did what it was supposed to by preventing me from getting pregnant, but the side effects were not worth it. My doctor has now changed me to Yaz, so I am hoping this is a better experience."

For Birth Control "DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!! I have been on this pill for 2 1/2 weeks because my pharmacy thought it necessary to send me the generic version of the already generic birth control pill my script was written for (Junel). I have gained weight, been bloated, broken out, had anxiety every day, had severe cramping and nausea. The bloating, cramping, and nausea started well before 10 days prior to the due date of my period. I have since called my dr and gotten him to correct the pharmacy's ridiculous requests and am going back on Junel, which IMO was great. I am currently 4 1/2 months pp and am using this as a form of birth control, so I do mind all these unnecessary side effects. Terrible medication."

For Birth Control "Gave me anxiety, made me break out, kept me up all night, so I was exhausted in the morning, and made me gain a few pounds. I will be switching back to my previous birth control pill."
