Hailey 24 Fe and Acne: What Users Say (Page 2)

For Birth Control "I started this a month and a half ago. I had some irregular spotting a week into my second month. My face seems bloated, which is really weird. I have been getting this super painful cystic acne on my chin and around my mouth as well. It’s getting better as of today, so I’m going to give this birth control one more month to see if it just needed some time to steady out. No weight gain so far, but I am really active (run 3 times a week, yoga on other days). My boobs are ginormous, which sucks as someone with gender confusion, lol. They were sore at first, but they don’t hurt anymore. I definitely had some mood swings since starting, but I also have a history of mental health issues and oscillating moods, so I’m not sure if it’s related. I’ll update again in a month after I decide to quit or continue."

For Birth Control "This is making me extremely moody. I am also having random nausea and lightheadedness that I would not usually have. I am having bumps on my forehead (like, the hormonal acne underneath your skin). I am breaking out all over my face, and it's ruining my self-confidence and making me feel like crap. Not to mention that it has increased my anxiety and made me have trouble with digestion. I haven’t been taking it for long. So, I will need to keep doing this for at least a month. But one more underneath-the-skin bump and I’m done. It’s not worth it. I did not want to use this, I was forced into getting on birth control."

For Birth Control "I have been on Hailey for like almost a year, and I love it. I haven’t had a period in a year, and I don’t really cramp much either, I have no acne either."

For Birth Control "I have had a good experience. No real side effects. Worse acne during breakouts than I usually have, but otherwise the best pill I’ve taken."

For Birth Control "Gave me cystic acne for the first time, and I’m 29 years old. My skin is really important to me, so this was extremely frustrating."
