For Birth Control "I was on Microgestin 1.5/30 and then Junel for years with absolutely no problems. I had a regular period, mild cramps, and minimal PMS. Since being put on Gildess by my insurance, my cramps are worse, and the PMS has been much more prominent. I am really unhappy with this and am changing brands in hopes of a better outcome."

For Birth Control "This birth control is awful. My boobs hurt literally all of the time. My face is constantly breaking out, and I'm gaining a lot of weight. (Could be hormonal, but none of the other birth control I've been on have done this). My cramps are terrible, and my period is light."

For Birth Control "I'm 18. I've been on this pill for 5 months, and I am switching as soon as possible. This pill causes me to have intense cramps. Not just while I'm on my period, but all month long. They are so painful I have to lay down in a fetal position until they stop, which is usually 15-30 minutes. Besides the extreme pain, I also experienced bad mood swings. The week before and the week I'm on my period, I am a raging animal. It is very hard to control. I've used several other birth control pills in the past two years, but I have never experienced PMS like this before."

For Birth Control "I have read all these reviews, and I am jealous that all of you experienced weight loss! I have experienced weight gain, but that could also be because I only have a period once every three months (with PMS and some spotting in between). But I love the control this pill gives me! I have been on it since my manufacturer changed it from Microgestin Fe, but it's okay! It feels good to me. I have a lot of unprotected sex, and it's nice to know when I start spotting a little that it's okay. I get no cramps! Because of my cervical inversion, it is miserable for me to have a period every month. This pill lets me go as long as I want until I want to have one! I just have to be very sensitive and careful, and this pill helps me so much."
