For Birth Control "I have been on quite a few birth control pills and really struggled at one point to find one that worked for me, as I have PMDD. I did well with its brand name Loestrin 1/20 when it was available. Generic versions have been hit and miss but Hailey 1/20 is working very well for me. I have a regular period during the break (like clockwork) and it is much lighter and shorter than before starting the pill. My PMDD is now under control which is a big relief. I do get some headaches when I finish a pack/go on break, however this is true of all pills. I'm not really having any other negative symptoms at all!"

For Birth Control "I'm 33 and have been on BCP since I was 16, except for a few months where I chose to get pregnant. So, I have quite a history with BCP. Hailey 1/20 is by far the strangest. My doctor changed my prescription in Dec 2020 from a different brand that was similar (an insurance thing), but with Hailey, I haven't had ANY periods aside from spotting for a day or 2. It is really odd because I still get the cramping, bloating, and tiredness during the week I'm supposed to have my cycle, but no period. Then, of course, I start to freak out and run to the pharmacy for a pregnancy test. I've also been more easily agitated/angered, which is out of character for me. Although it has been effective at preventing pregnancy, after 2 months, I've called my doctor and asked to change my prescription again. I know some women are okay with not having a period, but I NEED it, it's my reassurance."

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for about 1 year, taking BC for 2. Physically, this birth control is great. Boobs have grown, no period for 6 months as of now, no noticeable weight gain, and cleared acne. However, mentally, I am a completely different person than who I was before starting. I have erratic mood swings that I cannot control, I have no energy, I’m crying uncontrollably at least 2x a day. If you already have mental problems or believe that this drug won’t affect you in this manner, the pill does what it needs to do, but I wouldn’t want anyone to go through the mental dilemma I do."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on this birth control for about a month now. Overall, the experience has been very easygoing! I don’t have sudden mood swings, and I’m not experiencing a whole lot of side effects. I will say, however, that the first 2 weeks on this pill, I was experiencing nausea soon after taking my daily dose. I assume that this is pretty normal because it most definitely could’ve been my body adjusting to the hormones. I have also felt very fatigued after starting this birth control, often sleeping around 12 hours a day, which is not normal for me at all! I didn’t experience any spotting, which was a plus because many birth controls would have me spotting for months! Overall, this birth control worked really well with my body aside from the tiredness!!"

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for a little over a month now, and so far, so good! I switched from a Yaz generic, 'Syeda,' to this, and during the transition, I did experience a few pimples around my jawline and slightly increased anxiety for about a week, then it all went away. I didn’t have any spotting, and I haven’t had any new acne since. I’m also using this to skip my periods. I will say, day 1, when I started the next pack instead of the placebo pills, I was really sad, but it went away by the next day. I will take no periods and no acne for those small incidences. I was scared to try after reading reviews on all the different types of Hailey pills after my provider switched me to this and didn’t tell me the exact version, but this has been fine! (Also, I’m not pregnant, so it works in that aspect, haha.)"
