For Birth Control "I was just given this to treat PMDD. I was a bit hesitant after reading side effects in the enclosed papers. I will definitely consider all of my options before I start this after reading nothing but horrible experiences. Thank you all for your advice and warnings on this pill!"

For Birth Control "I find this birth control good. You’re going to have side effects with every medication, you’re just going to have to get over it. I have been on this birth control for 4 or 5 years now, and I love it. After about a year or two, my periods have stopped completely. I do have low sex drive, but oh well, just another way the birth control works is how I think of it. It will take time for your body to adjust. I recommend if there are a few side effects in the beginning to just see if they stick around. It will take any birth control 6 months to a year to get used to your body. It’s free with my insurance."

For Birth Control "I absolutely love this product and recommend it to everyone. I know everyone's body is different, so it is not for everyone, but it is not the medicine's fault. I have no negative symptoms since I started this. I used to have heavy periods, terrible cramps, and headaches, and my periods were super long. I now have super consistent 3-4 light periods, no cramps or headaches. I have been on this pill for over a year now and have no desire to switch."

For Birth Control "So if I could give zero stars, I would. I was so excited for starting first-time birth control, and the doctor prescribed me the lowest dose of hormonal birth control pill. I do not recommend anybody try this pill. I was just four days on it, and I had to stop. I got diarrhea since the second day until today, and I’m not even taking it the last 5 days. My hair started falling off a lot, and I have such strong headaches that I never had before. Do not take this pill!!!"

For Birth Control "Worst birth control ever. My pharmacy randomly switched me to this 6 months ago after I had been on Microgestin for 2 1/2 years. Since being on Blisovi, I have gained 10 lbs, fainted twice, have horrible headaches and dizzy spells, nauseous constantly, no appetite, very sad, and get angry very easily. I also have barely any sex drive whatsoever. I barely have energy to want to do anything. I could sleep all day if I let myself. I've never felt so horrible in my entire life. After getting sick of gaining weight and fainting, I am finally stopping the pill. It is not worth it. BC is literal poison to the body. This brand just happens to be the worst one."

For Birth Control "I've been on this BC for a little over a year now and have consistently had problems with it and never fully connected the dots until I did more research on the drug. As far as preventing pregnancy, it works great, but aside from that, it wasn't. I didn't gain weight like some people, but it's affected my personality pretty severely. I get so emotional about everything. I cry really easily and I hate being alone. I'm so clingy to my fiancé, so much that whenever I have to go home (we live separately), I cry and cry when I'm at home without him. I get angry fast and I'm constantly irritated. I also get spotting a lot. If I take the pill even a few hours late, I get my period the next day, for like 3 days, even if I continued taking the pills."

For Birth Control "I have a congenital heart defect I was born with, so my Dr. prescribed me Losetrin FE about 5 years ago. Due to my insurance change, I had to switch to Blisovi FE 1/20, and let me tell you I love it. I have no headaches, vomiting, nothing. I took it 2 years straight, and when I was trying to get pregnant, I took a year off, and it still took me about 10 months to get pregnant with my son. He is 1 now, and I started back taking my pills again 7 months ago. My acne has gone away, I have regular periods to the date I took my last pill. Little to no cramping and light periods that last 3-5 days. I would highly recommend this pill. I know everyone's body is different. But just from my experience, I would highly recommend this pill."

For Birth Control "I’ve been taking Blisovi for a month now, and I haven’t really had any negative things happen to me besides some weight gain (but that’s probably because I don’t exercise, so whoops). The doctor said your body needs at least 3-4 months to adjust to the hormones, though, so hopefully everything will go back to normal. Earlier on, I did experience a little bit of nausea, but it went away after the 3rd week. ALSO, it does do its job on protecting from pregnancy. I had an accident around the twelfth day of me taking birth control, and my doctor said to wait a month before having unprotected sex, so I was super scared that I might’ve been pregnant. But then I got my period and was relieved. Definitely follow what your doctor says, though, so you don’t stress too much!! A bunch of sites say that you’re protected after 7 days of use, but for extra safety I’d wait until at least a month of using it. Overall, though, Blisovi has been a good first-time birth control for me."

For Birth Control "The absolute worst! I was nauseous all the time, threw up, and depressed. Also, sex drive and natural lubrication took a negative toll. I don't recommend this to anyone! It made my life miserable. My body felt extremely weak. It's just not worth it."

For Birth Control "I've been taking Blisovi Fe 1/20 for just about 3 weeks now, and I have been bleeding, not spotting, but bleeding-some days heavy, some not so heavy. So, since the second week, about 2 weeks now, I've been bleeding. I haven't had any side effects really, other than being a little moody, and I think that's because of this annoying bleeding. I know it takes your body time to adjust to birth control, but I've been on BC before, and I've never gone through this. I've read all the reviews on this birth control, and I haven't seen or read one good thing. I'm stopping this birth control and requesting something different."

For Birth Control "Thought I would share my experience of this BC. Prior to taking this, I was prescribed Larin FE. The dosing I needed was d/c from Larin, leaving my OB to prescribe me with Blisovi. I was a bit nervous prior to starting the new BC because of all the bad reviews and side effects associated with it on here. However, I have been taking Blisovi for about a month now and have experienced little to no side effects stated from other users. I had a small amount of acne and breakouts appear but combatted them with some extra skin care for a few weeks. Along with some mild cramping, nothing serious. I figured seeing as though most happy customers don't post their experiences online, I would do so! I have not been on this medication as long as some other commenters, but have not experienced nearly any side effects in comparison!"

"My obgyn Dr. prescribed Blisovi Fe to regulate my hormones. He stated they were irregular due to being estrogen dominant. At first, it made me feel a spacey, unbalanced feeling. Then, after a couple of weeks, I started experiencing severe anxiety and neck pain. I immediately stopped it, neck pain went away. Tried another time, neck pain came back and spike in BP. Just to make sure, I tried it again a third time later to rule out the cause and started having severe neck pain with tremors, dizziness, high blood pressure, which ended me going to the ER. Informed my obgyn doctor immediately, and he said that medication does not have those side effects. I never experienced anything like this ever! He would not prescribe anything else. I have since decided to see another obgyn Dr. elsewhere. I still get intermittent dizziness and an unbalanced feeling. Not sure if related."

For Birth Control "After taking the 1st dosage, I happened to do research on the birth control pill, and I read the reviews on this site. I was really scared to continue taking the birth control because of the reviews, but I'm happy that I continued. I am on week 3 of my 1st pack, and to be honest, the only two things that I have experienced are very mild acne (and that was in the 1st week), and also after week 2, I began my period (taking the pill because of amenorrhea). I'm 36 years old, and I've never had period cramps when I did have a regular period, but with this pill, I have mild cramps, and the flow is medium. My period usually lasts for 7 days, and I'm on day 5 just now starting with a medium flow after it's been really light... so I'm not sure how long this will last. So far, no nausea or any sickness. I also have not gained weight. I'm generally a healthy eater, so when hunger strikes, I down some quinoa, kale, and fruits, etc...."

For Birth Control "I have had a shaky experience with this birth control. Positives: no weight gain, anxiety, depression, or pregnancy. Negatives: if I forget to take a pill, I will start to spot and start my period within 8-10 hours of forgetting, and my cycle will be messed up the rest of the month. I also have drastically noticed a decrease in my sex drive. Mood swings and hormonal acne are definitely still there before I start my period. I’ve given this pill 6 months, time to try something new!"

For Birth Control "I was on the Blisovi Fe 1/20 pill to treat PCOS. This pill was awful. The pill made my face break out way more than usual, I had a lot of mood swings, and I was sad a lot. It also gave me horrible cramps. The only good thing about this pill was that it regulated my periods, other than that, it was horrible."

For Birth Control "I have been on this pill since April of last year, it is now November 2019. Six months ago, I experienced a dramatic change in my weight. I walked around with a feeling of being bloated even without eating a meal. Nothing had changed in my life concerning my diet. I eliminated eating meats to see if that would help me lose a few pounds. That didn’t help as much as I wanted because the weight stayed and the feeling of being bloated was still there. I did a self-evaluation and realized the only thing I take daily is my birth control pill. I looked up reviews to see similar experiences, and that immediately made me reach out to my doctor."

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for 6-7 months now, and it does what it's supposed to do. The first month met me with severe, painful cramping for 48 hours straight with no relief, and I definitely had breakthrough bleeding in the first 2 months or so. After that, things have generally been smooth sailing, my period has been getting lighter and shorter in duration every cycle since then. No significant changes in mood or facial acne, though this cycle I have started getting acne on my back and butt, which I never have experienced before. Sex drive has decreased, and I haven't been able to get 'wet' since the first month or so. But I still have been having plenty of sex regardless and am not pregnant, so it's doing its job."

For Birth Control "This birth control is terrible. I've never had acne before in my life, and now after taking this for almost 2 months, I have acne on my entire face, and also on my back. I have also gained 6 pounds, and this pill affects me emotionally very much. Since taking this pill, I now have bad social anxiety and constantly find myself tearing up for no reason at all. I am genuinely a happy person, and this birth control constantly has me feeling anxious or sad. The only positive of this is it has prevented pregnancy like its main purpose. I am now switching to a new brand."

For Birth Control "Understand that everybody's body is different, but there have been no negative experiences for me. I've taken this for several months, maybe even a year, I haven't exactly been keeping track. I take this for my acne, which has almost completely disappeared. I don't get bloated. My periods are completely tolerable and even light. Before the pill, my periods would ruin every pair of panties and pants. Not anymore. I also noticed my periods are shorter, too. They used to be one full week (maybe even a little longer sometimes), now my periods only last a few days."

For Birth Control "I absolutely love this birth control. It's the first I've started on, I'm on my third month in. I'm 18 years old, and my parents were hesitant on anything other than the pill. I've lost a little weight, I went from a size 3 to a size 0, and my breasts are tender and grew a cup size, which I'm not complaining about for a 5'0 girl. My periods are light, barely noticeable at all, I bleed two days and only use a few regular tampons those two days and don't cramp a bit. My only complaint is that I'm now a major crybaby for the smallest reasons, and my anxiety spikes up a little more than usual, but other than that, it's great. Acne is non-existing, hair is glossier than usual, it's perfect. I totally recommend this!"

For Birth Control "I use this birth control for irregular and heavy menstruation and I’ve had little to no problems with it. I did not gain weight, instead, I was able to lose it more easily. The only problem is that my cramps are worse than before. I was bleeding heavily for months nonstop and had little to no cramps, but now I definitely have them, though it’s not unbearable, just very annoying. I have IBS as well, and I’m not sure, but I think my flare-ups have gotten a little worse with this birth control, but it could just be a me issue. Other than that, no problems."

For Birth Control "I started this birth control a week ago, and the first couple of days were good besides the spotting. Now it's the 7th day, and I'm bleeding like it's my regular period when it's not supposed to be. The past 2 days, I have had really bad depression and thoughts. I have depression, but this BC is making it so much worse for me. I also have been noticing acne coming up around my jawline, which I never really got there until now. So I am stopping this BC, I was hesitant in taking it anyway because I have had bad experiences with mood swings on 2 other types as well. BC just isn't for me, I guess."

"I have been on HBC since I was 19 years old because I never wanted kids. I have been on Blisovi or the name brand of this for at least 15 years as contraception, and I will stay on it until menopause-probably about 5 more years, per my gynecologist's advice. I have never had any side effects from it, and it has kept my periods light and with very little cramping, if at all."

For Birth Control "I have heard a lot of bad reviews, so I thought I should share my own review. This birth control has NOT made me depressed or gain weight or make me want to eat more. The only thing I would say is that I spot a lot more, but that’s normal in any birth control within the first few months. Also, I get a little more acne than I had before, but nothing too serious, and it will probably go away when my body gets used to the new hormones."
