For Birth Control "I am 19, and I have been on this birth control for over a year now. I was originally on a lower dose, but since I kept getting my period on days other than the placebo pills, the doctors upped my dosage. For the past year, I have dealt with higher levels of anxiety, terrible bloating to the point where I can only eat once or twice a day, and mild depression. The mood swings are horrible. I am switching as soon as possible. I don’t recommend it, it has been the worst year."

For Birth Control "I am going on three months on this pill. I didn't take BC for 6 years, then got on this one. I have noticed bad headaches when I am supposed to be on my period week, as well as some weight gain. I am petite and have noticed my boobs go a whole cup size. I also haven't really had a period for two months-just spotting and very light for 2-3 days, not enough to even wear a tampon. I also have noticed bad acne breakouts, I might reconsider this pill."

For Birth Control "I was very nervous when my pharmacy switched my brand of birth control from Aurovela to Blisovi because I didn't have any noticeable side effects with Aurovela and was scared that would change, but it actually turned out noticeably better than Aurovela. I still have no side effects but now have ~4-day periods while I had ~6 days on Aurovela and ~8 without any, and my cramps are much better with both Aurovela and Blisovi."

For Birth Control "I started Blisovi Fe around 2 months ago, and it’s been terrible. I’ve gained 20 lbs, and after reading all of these reviews, I’ve realized it was because of this medication. I’ve been eating healthy and working out for a while, and I’ve only been able to lose 5 lbs when it should be around 10 lbs at this point, knowing my body. I’ve also had way more bad mental health days than usual. I hope this medication works for some people!"

For Birth Control "I needed this medication to function with PCOS and PMDD and took it continuously for 5+ years under various names (Microgestin, Junel, Loestrin). I loved it, no noticeable side effects. However, I was one of the unlucky few to develop liver tumors as a result and am pretty devastated that now hormonal BC is no longer an option for me for the rest of my life. I still recommend this pill, but believe women should have liver monitoring with extended use."

For Birth Control "I started taking this medicine for a month, and then I stopped for a few months and then I started taking it again. The first time I took it, all I experienced was a little nausea. However, the second time I took it, I experienced the worst stomach pain in my life. I was debating whether to go to the ER or not. I couldn’t sleep, and I was throwing up. I couldn’t eat or move. I am not sure if the pill caused this, but it happened when I started taking it again, so I believe it is from the pill. I experience extreme nausea now, and I barely eat. A lot of people say it can take 2-3 months for nausea to stop, so I will continue taking it. If I experience the pain I experienced last time, I am going to stop taking it. Don’t let this review determine whether you’re going to take this pill or not, everybody is different."

For Birth Control "Stay clear of this birth control! I first started this birth control 6 months ago in hopes to help with my heavy bleeding (it did not help). I gained 30 pounds and my anxiety is through the roof! I am constantly sick to my stomach, sometimes even vomiting, horrible migraines, abdominal pain, and fatigue to the extreme! No sleep is enough, I always feel tired. Do not take this birth control - your mental and physical health isn’t worth it."

"Comparing this to the Microgestin I used to take, it SUCKS. I have PCOS, so I really have to take some form of birth control. Since my pharmacy never has Microgestin available, I have to take this. Before, I would take any birth control at all, I never had serious issues with acne. It was fairly normal and stayed that way, if not better, with Microgestin. I would only break out before my period. Blisovi is awful, I have had painful, annoying acne pop out of nowhere! It doesn’t help that I’ve had an increase in anxiety and depression. Also, I notice before each period I get severe lower back pain and cramping. I’m disappointed. I don’t have to worry about any copay because I don’t even want this for free."

For Birth Control "This birth control gave me no side effects at first. After about two months, I got a yeast infection due to the hormones changing the habitat in my vagina. Since that first yeast infection, sex has hurt and made me bleed every single time since. And every third week, I seem to get a yeast infection. Need to switch ASAP. I'm sick of vaginal itching and painful sex."

For Birth Control "I've been on Blisovi for almost 2 months, and the side effects have been constant. The headaches, occasional dizziness, and not to mention the bloating every single day. It's gotten to the point where I don't recognize my own body. The first month, when I was supposed to menstruate, I spotted for 2 days, nothing more. The side effects outweighed the potential benefits for me. Every woman is different, so don't knock it until you try it."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on this for 2ish years. I don’t know much about birth control, but I’ve been wondering if this is the reason I’m having so many issues. My mood is up and down and has been for a while. I’ve gained about 80 lbs in 2 years regardless of what I’ve done to lose weight. I’m going to talk with my doc about it because this is not okay and hasn’t been for a while."

For Birth Control "So thanks, ladies. I have never taken birth control before, but my doctor recommended this pill when I said I was considering it. Now I'm thinking maybe I'll just stick with my condoms. Lol, thanks again, ladies."

For Birth Control "I was first on Loestrin from March to June, and I recently hopped on Blisovi Fe 1.5/30 because I changed pharmacies and they didn’t carry my original. Since I’ve been taking this pill, it’s good but not as great as Loestrin. I sometimes cramp and spot here and there, which I am not used to. I still continue to have no period, but it’s alright. No major weight gain or acne. It’s okay, nothing really wrong with it, but I do wish I had my old prescription."

For Birth Control "I have been on this terrible pill since 2016, and I went from 190 lb to 240 lb, my highest weight ever! Also, I diet and nothing happens. I stay bloated and aggravated, and I cry for no reason at all. Some nights after I take the pill, I get sweaty, diarrhea, can’t sleep, and have severe stomach pain. Many more, can’t think of them all, but it’s bad!!! I go to the hospital when I can’t handle it, and it’s not my gallbladder or anything, so I’m assuming it’s this pill. It’s every night I take it. Terrible!!! I have 5 kids, so I don’t want to stop BC, but I'm really thinking of it! I feel it’s no good, and my symptoms are just like some of the ladies on here. It’s a bad pill and needs to be recalled. No sex drive at all, I feel like I’m an old lady!!!! What should I do!!?"

For Birth Control "It was the worst experience I’ve had. I’ve had anxiety since my senior year of high school (2017); when taking the birth control (started December 2018), it worsened my anxiety, and I developed mood changes and depression during my sophomore year of college. I would be crying almost every day and even had a really hard time. I stopped taking it around March or April 2019 and have been completely fine ever since. Hopefully, the new BC I get won’t give me these problems like Blisovi. Also, the first time I got Blisovi, it was covered, but then after the third month, the pharmacy only covered less than half the price, so I ended up paying $30."

For Birth Control "Love this birth control Blisovi Fe! I keep an alarm on my phone to remind me every night. It helps us not get pregnant, and I love that it also makes my periods not so bad and my skin clear! Loving the new packaging as well! It’s smaller and the sleeve is perfect!"

For Birth Control "I was put on Blisovi because CVS stopped carrying Gildess (Gildess was perfect for me). Lucky for me, I recently found out Walgreens still carries Gildess, just an FYI for anyone else."

For Birth Control "I have been on this medication for two weeks now. I have experienced a lot of positive results. My skin did start with a few breakouts, but they cleared up within a couple of days. My skin is now extremely clear. I have not experienced spotting or cramping before my period. I was on Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 prior to Blisovi, and after a one-year hiatus from birth control, I decided to try Lo Loestrin. It was terrible!! So I called my doctor to put me on Micro again, and when I got to the pharmacy, they gave me Blisovi. So far, it’s great!"
