For Birth Control "I've been on this generic version of Minastrin 24 Fe for a couple of years. I don't remember exactly. I really love it. I'm surprised at all the other reviews, but everyone has a different biological makeup that causes them to react differently to things. I may have gained a little weight, but honestly, I needed it, so it wasn't noticeable. I was already a sad person and didn't notice any differences in my mood after starting the pill, I even had a period of being very happy with life, hahah. I want to say it has helped with my skin. Minastrin stopped my periods, but I would still spot sometimes. I don't get periods at all with Mibelas. Is this normal? Unsure, but it's better than bleeding all the time and having cramps that make me miserable. I'm thankful that my body is kind to me and lets me have this positive experience. I hope everyone is able to find something that works well for them, too."

For Birth Control "Great experience throughout 4 years of use - the first and only form of BC I’ve ever used. Starting on BC, I was prescribed Minastrin 24 Fe, then, sometimes I get sent generic, sometimes Mibelas 24 Fe (it’s all exactly the same, just different manufacturers). Slight mood swings and spotting in the first few months starting out, but felt totally normal again soon after. No weight gain, no unusual skin reactions, nothing. Going 4 years strong, and the experience taking this BC has been seamless in my life. Unfortunately, usually only the rare few dissatisfied individuals leave reviews, so I wanted to speak up to praise this product."

For Birth Control "I actually really like this birth control. Reading all the reviews really had me scared, but I’m glad I gave it a try. I had been on Loestrin 24 Fe for a while, but it’s now discontinued, so I had to make a switch. I tried Blisovi at first because the doctor said it was the same, and I had a terrible experience. Mibelas has not given me any side effects other than a little spotting in the beginning, and I now skip my period, which I find odd, but I guess I shouldn’t complain? I do feel a tad bit bloated and like I’ve gained a few pounds, but don’t have a scale to confirm this. Other than that, I barely even realize I’m on birth control."

For Birth Control "I took Loestrin and then Minastrin for years. I was off the pill for a couple of years and then wanted to get back on. My doctor prescribed Mibelas. I started taking the first pack on the first day of my period, and then my period lasted for 11 days. I stuck it out for 4 months. I've never had any spotting on or off the pill, and with Mibelas I was spotting for at least a week every month in the middle of the pack, and then I'd still get my period. It killed my sex drive and gave me headaches. The only benefit is it gave me slightly clearer skin and kept me from getting pregnant. Worst birth control I've ever taken."
