For Birth Control "I began the first pack, and everything started out fine. There were no major side effects. Then came my first period. What a complete nightmare. My period was light and heavy, making me want to scream in pain from my cramps. I bled through tampons left and right. Also, it would go on for two days, then stop for one, then begin while I was sleeping. My 'period' lasted for 8 days in total compared to its usual 5. Now, two weeks later, I've had bloody discharge every single day."

For Birth Control "Worst pill ever, please do not take and please listen to these reviews. Started out great then started with very sharp pains, was on bed rest and almost rushed to the ER.... no sign of my period but I sure feel it coming because of the pain, bloating, cramps, acid reflux, sickness, PMS, mood swings, anger, and depression which WON'T STOP. Save yourself the trouble and don’t take!!!!"

For Birth Control "I've been taking this birth control for over a month now and have noticed a few side effects from it. Firstly, it has caused me to become an anxious mess, I've always had anxiety, but my anxiety has gotten progressively worse with this birth control due to the fact I missed my period. This birth control has also caused me to have sore breasts and random cramping throughout the weeks. I have felt so overwhelmed and anxious on this birth control. I wouldn't recommend it if you suffer from severe anxiety to begin with. I normally never cry from anxiety, but this birth control has turned me into an emotional mess. I spent 3-4 weeks freaking out because I thought I was pregnant, alas, I am probably not since I use this birth control and condoms. I only have three side effects: missed period, breast tenderness, and random cramping."

For Birth Control "I’ve been taking Larin Fe for about two months now. This was my first time ever being on BC. The first week I was nauseous and moody. I bled for 20+ days, which is abnormal for my normal cycle. My gyno told me to keep taking it, so I did. Now the original bleeding has stopped, but my period is super late. I’ve been cramping on and off for weeks, but no blood. I’ve also been moody and snappy. My sex drive has decreased. I’m hoping when I finish my second pack later this week, everything will go back to normal."

For Birth Control "Dr. prescribed Larin Fe because I wanted to not have much of a period and help with my acne! I was on it about a month, and I could tell I was easily aggravated and felt enraged sometimes! Talked to Dr. and said give it 3 months to give it time to completely work! 3 months later, I was still feeling ill, enraged, low sex drive, but no periods! It wasn't worth it to me! Called Dr. and he wanted to give me an anxiety pill! I said nope and stopped taking it! 2 weeks later, and I am experiencing the worst symptoms I have ever felt! Cramps, nauseous, and back hurting! It's been horrible! 3 days later, I went to Dr. and got nausea meds and Ultram for pain! I wouldn't recommend this pill!"

For Birth Control "I only used Larin Fe for about 4 months because of the effect it had on my menstrual cycle. It did a great job at preventing pregnancy, but I was having 2-3 periods per month. It made my period lighter, but MUCH more painful. I have a very high pain tolerance, but the cramping I experienced while on this pill was almost unbearable. I also experienced bleeding from my cervix during sex. Not fun having to warn sexual partners that you may start bleeding! I didn’t experience any weight gain, but my boobs did get a little bigger, which I won’t complain about, haha. All in all, Larin Fe’s ability to prevent pregnancy wasn’t worth it to me considering the other side effects, and I’ve since switched birth control."

For Birth Control "All I have to say is: stay away from this birth control pill. I’m 44 y/o, and this is the worst birth control pill I have ever been on. I am fit, trim, work out four times a week, and eat super healthy. Within a day of starting to take this, my already big breasts (natural) ballooned up and have been hurting like anything for more than three weeks continuously. I don’t even get that kind of pain before my period as I significantly reduced caffeine. It is absolutely ridiculous. I am bloated, I gained 7 pounds for no reason, and the mood swings the first two weeks were out of control. The worst part: I have now bled for eight days straight (end of three weeks of active pills), have cramps, and today I almost passed out. I threw away the remaining two packages and I am switching to Yaz (generic) as it does not cause water retention."

For Birth Control "I am 18 and got on Junel Fe 1.5/30 for 3 months, and on the 4th pack, my mom switched pharmacies, and the new pharmacy gave me Larin Fe 1.5/30 and said it was exactly the same and I shouldn’t see any differences, but that isn’t even true. It hasn’t been bad for me except having random cramps throughout the entire month and slight backaches. I was nauseous at first, but it has gone away for the most part. Junel didn’t give me as much nausea at first or bad cramps randomly as much, but since I’ve taken Larin Fe, I haven’t had much breast tenderness at all. Other slight issue I’ve had this month was feeling tired much more, but not enough to interfere with anything, but sometimes annoying. Overall, it’s not horrible, and everyone experiences it differently!"

For Birth Control "This birth control has offered no issues whatsoever, even at the beginning when I first started taking it. I had never been on birth control before, and I was very nervous for the side effects. However, nothing negative ever occurred. It is easy to predict my period and even skip it, as simply skipping the placebo pills and starting a new pack prevents my period. I received another birth control called Blisovi Fe after about 6 months with Larin Fe, and it gave me the worst cramps & bad depression. My pharmacy gave me Larin Fe after my last refill, and I was elated to not go through another 3 months of Blisovi Fe hell! Love the packaging as well, pills are easy to pop out."
