For Birth Control "I've been taking this birth control for a little over 3 months. They told me to give it 3 months and it'll level out everything. Wrong. I have literally been on my period every other week or every week. I take it at the same time every time I'm supposed to, and it just does not work for me. I just ended my period on Sunday, and I started spotting yesterday (Saturday), and today I woke up cramping and bleeding AGAIN. I'm so sick of being on my period. Waiting for a call to switch. Also, last week when I was on it, it literally was as if I didn't even take it. Clots, bad cramps, going 6-7 days. I feel like I've been patient enough. ALSO, I had a terrible migraine for about a month when I started it."

For Birth Control "This birth control, Hailey 24 Fe, started off really good. Noticed my minor acne going away and actually felt that my self-esteem went up. Never got pregnant, which is great. However, within the first pill of my second month, I threw up twice in that week. Then I started having horrible migraines where I lose my vision. At first, I brushed them off and thought it was because my body was adjusting, but well into the fourth month of using it, I was still having those migraines every week or more. As of right now, typing, I have a migraine. I am getting off of it after my last pill. I don’t know if this will help anyone, but this is how my experience was."

For Birth Control "Around the 2-3 month mark, I started having terrible migraines almost daily. I didn’t know what it was because I drink lots of water and get good sleep, and then I checked the reviews of Hailey Fe and found out this is a common side effect. It’s now my 3rd day off this brand, and no more migraines!!! Although I didn’t get pregnant on this pill, I couldn’t bear this side effect. Stay away!!!"

For Birth Control "First month, my boobs did get bigger, but as a small-chested person, I was happy with the results! I take birth control because I struggle with ovarian cysts that burst and are super painful, but after 5 months, I haven’t had a single cyst burst. 2-4 day periods with light cramping. I do get migraines, but I’ve been struggling with migraines for years, so it’s been no different. I also did have some acne over the first month, but it has since gone away, and I’ve had clear skin! Overall, pretty happy with this BC."

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for 6 months. I was on Junel Fe, which worked fine other than the weight gain. My pharmacy switched me to Hailey Fe, maybe because of insurance issues or manufacturing issues. The pharmacist told me it was the same thing, however, it is not! I have had migraines that last for days or headaches every other day, 3-5 times a week. Weight gain has been worse. Sex drive was horrible, and I’ve never had that problem. Definitely do not recommend this brand personally, but everyone is different."

For Birth Control "Hailey 24 Fe is OK. At first, this pill didn't bother me too much. I've been taking it for 5 months, and I have only had 2 'periods.' By that, I mean spotting or brown clots for 2 days. I used to only get a migraine every other period, and I was very regular, now my body is so unpredictable. I am also a small lady, I only weighed 108 at 5 feet 6 inches, and I think the stress of this pill has made me lose 4 pounds! I am now 104. So, no periods really, but now I get a headache or a migraine 3 to 4 times a week! If you are not prone to migraines, I think this would work for you, if not, try something else. I will start the patch in 1 week, and I hope it's better for me."

For Birth Control "I was on Nexplanon for years and was waiting on insurance to approve my new one, so I started this. The first month started well. I gained a bit of weight but was feeling better than the troubles I was having with the implant at the end (I had been informed my implant lasted longer than it actually did by a past doctor, and it was expiring and causing symptoms from expiration). Around the third week, I started getting horrible stomach problems, migraines, mood swings, and anxiety. I gained 30 lbs in 3 months, even after I got off of it, I continued to gain, and to this day I still have a sensitive stomach, am now on medication for anxiety because it messed my mental health up so bad. I’m finally leveling out 6 months later and beginning to lose the stubborn weight I gained on it. This was the worst experience of my life, and I’m happy to be back on my Nexplanon, but it’s taken a long time for me to even get to my “normal” on Nexplanon, and I’m not there yet. I didn’t get pregnant on it."

For Birth Control "I was switched to Hailey after using Aerovela (which I LOVED). Hailey was awful for me. I’ve taken so many pregnancy tests because I feel that bad and keep having bad migraines since I switched. I also bleed during most of the pack."

For Birth Control "I was on Blisovi 24 for 2 1/2 years, stopped it to have my son, then got back on it. I noticed really bad migraines as I was on it, and even worse when I took the sugar pills. I ended up not taking the sugar pills and going straight into a new pack to avoid a migraine."
