For Birth Control "This Pirmella birth control is great, pretty much no periods, just slight cramping. I used to have very heavy, painful periods. No weight gain, and seems to help acne too. I'm on my 3rd pack and suddenly starting to get so emotional and down feeling."

For Birth Control "I have gained 30 pounds over the past year and a half. Have high blood pressure and would deal with serious mood swings and ankle swelling just recently. I switched to a progestin-only birth control last week. After reading these reviews, I just realized that this birth control had caused all of the issues I was having."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on this BC for almost two years, and when I took it at the beginning, I loved it! I have very, very heavy periods and super duper horrible cramps. This BC had minimized all of that. And it helped clear my acne. But within the last 6 months, I’ve been having no periods, I’ve lost up to 15 lbs, my face has been breaking out bad, and my mood swings are out of whack. I just don’t know what is going on. And I really don’t know what to do."

For Birth Control "The only good thing about this birth control pill is that it made my period lighter and shorter. This pill has given me terrible acne. I take amazing care of my skin and always have. I rarely would ever get a single zit on my face or body, and if I did, it was minor. I have had awful, even painful, acne appear all over my face, back, and shoulders. No matter what I do, I cannot get it to go away. I also have had terrible mood swings. I am generally a very happy, positive person, but this pill has caused me to be angry, moody, and even led me to having an emotional outburst out of nowhere. My boyfriend, who I have been with for over four years, said he has never seen me act this way. I highly advise everyone to stay away from this pill unless you are that desperate to minimize your period symptoms and you are okay with dealing with the many negative side effects that have truly affected my everyday life."
