For Birth Control "This was my first BC. I was on it off and on for 5 years and loved it. Switched to a new brand after being off for a couple of years, and let me tell you, I miss Blisovi. Called my gyno and am switching back. Blisovi curbed my appetite and helped keep my moods stable. Never experienced breakthrough bleeding or any negative side effects."

For Birth Control "I have been taking this for a little over a year. I got on this pill to lessen my bleeding and cramps. For that purpose, it is great, and I still have normal periods that are not too heavy and cramps, but in the past year, I have gained almost 30 pounds, and I work out 5 times a week for multiple hours each time and eat a normal diet. I haven’t changed anything since I started taking it, but now I’m going to have to find new birth control and work out and diet to lose all of this excess weight. I do not recommend Blisovi Fe 1/20. I have 100% resented my body due to this medication, 130-155 lbs in 13 months."

For Birth Control "Well, I've been on this pill for maybe a week now, and I've had absolutely no symptoms. Maybe more sensitive breasts, but that's just about it. Of course, I should give it a couple of months, but I wanted to post this because I came on here to see how this BC would work, and I was so scared, but once I tried it, I had no side effects at all! I encourage you to try it at least a month and see how you like it. I was put on the pill because I had been on my period for 25 days, so not for baby prevention, but that's a plus!"

For Birth Control "I had been taking Microgestin for 2 years, lost my insurance, and had to take a break from my birth control. Finally got my insurance after about a 6-month break. I went to see my doctor, and she gave me Lo Loestrin. I took that for 3 months, but got no periods and no side effects. I wanted at least a light period to know I’m not pregnant. I was then given this Blisovi. The first week was bad with nausea and headaches. It was horrible, but the third week it got extremely bad. I started to get vertigo, and it absolutely wrecked my month. I went to a concert, had one drink, and almost fainted. I’ve taken 1/20 before, but something about this BC is not working. Good luck, ladies, hope this helps."

For Birth Control "Because of the timing of starting this birth control and everything going on in my life, it took me a while to catch on to the side effects of this pill. While on it, I was way more anxious and depressed than I’ve felt in a long time. The week before my period, I’ve never really been the super emotional type, but on this pill, I was unrecognizable. I was extremely depressed and emotional, blew up fights with my boyfriend, and just generally acting crazy. Looking back at how I acted, it’s like I’m not even looking at myself. When I finally thought back to when that started, I realized it was when I started this pill. While the pill didn’t cause any weight gain or other negative side effects for me, my mental state was in a very dark place on these. Because I was on it so long, I can say that these side effects don’t eventually go away, they just get worse. With all the other options out there, I could not recommend this pill."

For Birth Control "I have been on several different forms of the pill for the last 5 years. I have been on this one for the past 6 months, and it is hands down the worst one to date. It gave me mood swings, no sex drive at all, horrible migraines, nausea, bloating, anxiety, and depression. I stopped taking it completely 2 weeks ago and have already noticed a huge difference. Yes, this pill is great at preventing pregnancy, but that's about it, and the side effects are not worth it. Please do not take this pill."

For Birth Control "This is my first time taking any form of birth control. I’ve been on this pill for about 5 days, and I’m feeling fine. The first day, I did experience some slight nausea, but it went away after around ten minutes. I don’t get any more of it (for now at least)! I haven’t noticed any side effects so far except for my period already starting to be a lot lighter. No acne, mood swings, weight gain, or anything so far. I’ll keep you guys updated next month :)."

For Birth Control "I was only on this birth control pill for a month but would not recommend this pill to anyone. A few days into the placebo pill week, I began to experience severe anxiety, OCD, and depression, with no history of any mental illness before starting this pill. It became hard to want to get out of bed in the morning, I no longer had the desire to see my boyfriend or any of my friends. I stopped taking this pill and slowly started to feel like myself again but would not recommend that anyone take this pill."

For Birth Control "DO NOT TAKE BLISOVI!!! My pharmacy switched me over from Microgestin Fe to Blisovi Fe due to insurance reasons. I had no bad symptoms on Microgestin besides gaining a few pounds, which is fine because I am very thin. But anyway, since taking Blisovi, I have had horrible anxiety, am exhausted all the time even though I sleep enough, NO libido, blurry vision, always feel like I am in a fog, and horrible migraines. It did work effectively as a birth control, but that is mainly due to the fact that it caused me to have ZERO desire for sex. It was horrible. On top of the anxiety and constant state of EXHAUSTION. I’m telling you I felt like I never got any sleep when I was sleeping 8-10 hours a night. But luckily, my new insurance covers Microgestin, so I am switching back ASAP!!"

For Birth Control "In a sea of horrible reviews, I felt like I should share my extremely positive experience. I was on a birth control pill before Blisovi and had an absolutely awful experience: insane mood swings and the like. However, on Blisovi, I feel like myself again. I never have any PMS, didn’t gain any weight, no pimples. I do feel like I’m a bit more emotionally sensitive than how I am without the pill, but I’ll take being weepy over people withholding information because they’re afraid of how I’ll react. The only change I’ve really seen is my booty got considerably bigger, and I am definitely not complaining about that."

For Birth Control "I had been switched over to this BC, I was previously on Kelnor. I’ve tried many in my day, but this one really threw me for a loop. It took me almost 10 months to realize my crippling mood swings and severe depression/PMS were from my pill. I would wake up with immediate thoughts of complete dread and anxiety. Severe rage and anger, seemingly out of nowhere, followed by bouts of sadness. No energy. No motivation. Missed periods. It was truly a nightmare. I finally got switched over to something else about a month ago and have never felt better."

For Birth Control "This birth control gave me extreme depression and anxiety around and during my period. Nonstop crying for days. I already have depression and anxiety, but it made it worse. There was nothing else that could explain it. I started taking it, and about month 3, I quit. No way am I ever taking it again. The good experience I had was I didn’t gain any weight, in fact, my appetite decreased, but I associate that with depression. May not be bad for everyone, but for me, it was the worst birth control pill I’ve been on."

For Birth Control "I honestly would not recommend this BC. I decided after 2 years without BC I would get back on to see if it helped my skin. My skin had the usual breakout from periods and from stress but was always tolerable and never really bothered me. I used to take Tarina FE, and when I went for my doctor's visit, she prescribed me this one, which I was okay with starting, Blisovi FE. I began taking the BC and I started breaking out HORRIBLY. I thought it was just something that my body had to adjust to, but after the first month it started to feel like every time I took the pill a pimple would form. Cystic pimples. I’ve never been so depressed in my life. I seriously wish I never started this, there isn’t a day I don’t cry. Do not recommend."

For Birth Control "I have been on Blisovi Fe 1/20 for about 2 months. I take birth control because my period is very long, heavy, painful, etc. I was on Lolestrin Fe before taking this, and it was actually working, but I still wanted a shorter period. Unfortunately, in the first month on Blisovi Fe, my period lasted about 11 days, and less than a week later, it started again. It also made me extremely anxious and depressed, to the point of panic attacks almost every week, which is not normal for me. I’ve lost a few pounds while on Blisovi but am constantly bloated since I started taking it. I also started noticing an increase in sinus and respiratory problems, which could also be related to this medication. Overall, I do not recommend this product."

For Birth Control "I was taking Lo Loestrin for 3 years before starting Blisovi (had to stop because my insurance no longer covered it, Lo Loestrin), and let me just say it was the worst month of my life. I already suffer from anxiety and depression, but this made me so much worse, the most depressed I’ve been in about two years. The whole month was a fog filled with anger, huge mood swings, acne like no other, and being able to cry over literally anything. I’m not an angry person, and I don’t get mad, but every little thing would really annoy me or make me cry uncontrollably. I was so weak I wouldn’t get out of bed and had insomnia. I got off it and am trying a different pill now, so let’s hope that works."

For Birth Control "Was on NuvaRing for years until my moodiness on NuvaRing became an issue in my relationship. I switched to Microgestin, but after a month on Microgestin, the pharmacy said they couldn't fill it anymore and gave me Blisovi. The next three packs were a disaster. My weight increased, my anxiety increased, and I was fatigued all the time. I was sleeping 10+ hrs and still waking up exhausted. Periods were pretty normal, but the biggest issue was hair loss. About 3 months in, I noticed that my hair was falling out in clumps. I would confirm prior to taking Blisovi that you're not susceptible to androgenic hair loss. Clearly, I am, and now I have my wedding in three months and will have half the hair I should have. I reported my symptoms as well."

"I've been on the pill for 2 weeks now, hopefully, it was supposed to regulate my cycle. I hate it. Since I've started it, I've been in constant pain and bleeding non-stop, and I've been bleeding for just over a week now. With each passing day, the bleeding gets heavier and darker. Super tampons last 1-3 hours at most, overnight pads last about 2-5 hours. The pain is indescribable. It is from the waist down to my feet. The pain started after I started taking the pill."

For Birth Control "I was previously taking Lo Loestrin, but insurance will now only cover Blisovi Fe. I always kind of struggled with birth controls altering my mental health, but I honestly believe this one is by far the worst for me. I have missed a lot of periods on this pill, which I am getting concerned with. I was taking Blisovi, then at the end of the pills, I noticed I had one last Lo Loestrin and took that. I just switched back to Blisovi, and I have been an absolute disaster. I am anxious constantly, and it is beginning to affect my relationship. I don't feel like myself, and it is frustrating because I know I wasn't like this before. Started talking to a therapist because of it, but I truly think it is the medication, or at least it takes my anxiety to this upsetting level. Need to switch to something else, but I am not sure what is next."

For Birth Control "While everyone reacts to birth control differently, I had an awful experience with Blisovi Fe 1/20. I started breaking out with acne on my face, chest, and back about 3 weeks in after not dealing with bad acne for years. Though the acne was annoying, the worst part of this medication was what it did to my mood. I got depressed, moody, and extremely paranoid. I have been on 2 other types of birth control before this, and neither affected my mood anywhere close to what Blisovi did to me. I have been off this pill for about 6 weeks and am returning to my normal self. While you may not have the same experience as me, please be aware that this pill can and does cause extreme mood changes and depression as well as acne!"

For Birth Control "My doctor prescribed this Blisovi Fe 1/20 BC pill because I have secondary amenorrhea. I had a huge concern about the side effects when using the pill. Other than the common mood swings, nausea, etc. (regular side effects), I was 'eh' about that. So the first 2 weeks were pretty normal, up until the first day of the 3rd week. I woke up during midnight, I felt like I was dying because I never had a terrifying pelvic pain along with internal bleeding. I have amenorrhea, so I hadn't had regular periods in months. This didn't go away until a whole day had passed. I also had a loss of appetite because of this pill, I couldn't eat regular (healthy) food to relieve the nausea a bit for 2 1/2 days. I couldn't continue taking this pill because of that. So to sum it up, it does have its risks. I fear continuing to take this BC pill, so I had to stop. In my opinion, this pill isn't the 'safest'... so I'd think twice before taking this."

For Birth Control "I was put on the pill for heavy periods, which caused 5 iron infusions. First, I was on Lo Loestrin, which caused very clear skin and 2-day light periods and was great at first, however, after a few months, I had breakthrough bleeding and anger. The doctor had to make the dosage higher, so I switched to Blisovi, which is 100 times WORSE! The first week, I was crying every day, having panic attacks and at first had a 12-day period. The period eventually regulated and lightened, but I was told to push through another month to adjust with the emotions. I am still anxious, depressed, on edge, angry, mood swings, and no sex drive at all. I have no desire to look at a man. I am stopping this pill! The only pros to this pill were that I did not gain weight from it. I really hope I find a pill that works for me soon."

For Birth Control "I was previously on Gildess Fe 1/20, I was told it was no longer available, so the pharmacy switched me to Blisovi Fe 1/20. I've been on it for about three months, and I have gained about 20 pounds. I'm almost always moody and bloated. Before taking this medication, I weighed about 136, I now weigh 160 lbs. My doctor tried to tell me that there's no possible way it's because of the birth control, but I know for a fact that it is."

For Birth Control "Been taking Blisovi Fe for about a month, and I noticed after the first 2 days of taking it that it increased my appetite, like I always wanted to eat, was never full. Then, after a week of taking it, I noticed that I had diarrhea at least 3 times a day, and that alone drained me. All of the little energy I did have, the longer I took it, the more the energy disappeared. I realized that it wasn’t the food I’d been eating, it was the birth control. Then I started feeling sick to my stomach, the worst stomach aches EVER in my upper abdomen, lost sleep. I wouldn’t recommend this birth control to my worst enemy. I have a 3-year-old and a 9-month-old that I have to take care of, and on top of the diarrhea, loss of sleep at night, and the severe stomach pain, I’ve decided to discontinue using this birth control. It’s not worth my health."
