For Acne "This was my first birth control experience. I am a 22-year-old female with no previous history of bad acne problems. The first few months, I had breakthrough bleeding and cramps during ovulation time. My periods were shorter and less painful, but the mild cramps continued through the full week, which they had never done before. My main complaint is that during the first month of using this birth control, I broke out in cystic acne all over my chin! My forehead, where I used to get the occasional random pimple, has completely cleared, but I cannot get rid of the hormonal cystic acne on my chin. My chin is red and bumpy constantly. I would not recommend this birth control."

For Birth Control "I've been on a few birth control pills before, but none of them ever made me feel like this pill. I've only been on it for 2 weeks and already have breakthrough bleeding! Nauseated every day since starting this pill, dizzy/motion sickness, light sensitive, and I get angry really fast. Not to mention I have really bad cramps with this breakthrough bleeding. I got put on this pill to help with PMS, but I am definitely switching. Do not recommend at all."

For Birth Control "I was taking Gildess (birth control) for about 1 year because I have really bad periods, up to the point where I would just want to call my bed my permanent home. My periods make me bleed HEAVY, and I would puke and cry and faint/pass out and just want to scream because the slightest movement made me want to cry. So my doctor thought that this would do me good, and it did until the side effects came in. I couldn't have anything with red sauce in spaghetti, and I can't have coffee. Also, it made me an emotional wreck. I would cry watching TV shows and someone dying. It helped me get out of bed because of my periods, but then it turned me into a crybaby that ended up going back into bed."

For Birth Control "This is my 2nd time taking birth control. I am on my 2nd pack with this particular one and near the end of the 2nd week. Maybe 4-5 days after my period ends, I get another period or 'breakthrough bleeding.' I'm not happy with this at all because this will probably go on until I finish the pack. So technically, I bleed for about 2-3 weeks. This is not cool. I will give this one more month to see if my body will adjust. If this situation doesn't get better, then I'm going to discontinue use of this product."

For Birth Control "I just started on the day I got my period, and I've been bleeding nonstop for ten days. I've felt very sad and depressed and extremely moody. I also feel nauseous and very lethargic."

For Birth Control "This was my first time being on birth control. Each month I had increasing breakthrough bleeding until by the fourth month, I bled every day."
