For Birth Control "I've been on this pill for 3 years to great success. I started on the lowest dose, and there was a difficult adjustment period. I continued to experience breakthrough bleeding even after the other symptoms subsided. I was bumped up to 1.5/30, and it's been smooth sailing ever since! I started the pill exclusively for birth control, but it had the wonderful side effect of helping with my once very heavy and PMS-driven periods. I no longer experience ANY PMS, bleed lighter and for shorter periods, and only experience very mild cramps on occasion. Other than that, the only side effect I have is breast tenderness, but this is few and far between."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Everything was all good until the 5 months. I've been bleeding for 2 months now, off and on. Some spotting, mostly had breakthrough bleeding. I had to switch ASAP. Never been on a birth control pill that made me bleed, it's annoying..."

For Birth Control "This pill has been a real terror for me as far as breakthrough bleeding. Lately, I'm on my 'period' more often than not.... I have the worst PMS symptoms. I ignored it the first several months, but I'm going on my 8th month now, and so I've given up hope. Onto the next one!"

For Birth Control "I was switched to this birth control pill from the same thing in a lower dosage (1/20). Unlike my last pill, this one did not cause any breakthrough bleeding. However, I had a headache literally every evening on this pill. I was very concerned because these were bad headaches. They soon stopped after getting off from this pill. I like this pill in all other aspects, but it's just not worth the horrible headaches."

For Birth Control "Gildess Fe 1.5/30 has been nothing but a positive experience for me. I started on 1/20 and had random spotting through the month, but when I bumped up to 1.5/30, it was fixed right away. I used to suffer from extreme emotional breakdowns during my period and such heavy bleeding that I literally could not leave the house for 3 days. With the first month of Gildess, my period was 'normal,' and now after 3 years of use, I get very light periods for less than a day and little to no cramping and no other adverse side effects. I never gained weight, never struggled with acne, or had any other issues. The only reason I rate it 9/10 is because sometimes I feel like my sex drive is lower at times. Never got pregnant."
