"Started May of 2020, didn't really notice the weight gain until October. I'm heavier now than I was 9 months pregnant and heavier after giving birth. Clothes do not fit right, and I cry a lot more. My appetite is through the roof. I decided on November 30th to try and lose weight. I did not stop the birth control. I have consistently exercised 6 days a week for an hour (HIIT, cycling, running, weight training, etc.) and have tortured myself by restricting caloric intake to 1200 calories. Yes, only 1200...more recently 1100 calories. I have not missed ONE day. I have been extremely dedicated. I finally gave in at the beginning of March and bought a scale. I last weighed in November at 230 pounds. I am 227. It's extremely frustrating. The only thing I can think of is this birth control. I have lost weight in the past as much as 50 pounds. I know what to do."

"I have been on Tarina Fe 1/20 for close to 2 months, and I puke every night because of it. I don’t know if that’s normal, but it’s very annoying."

"Although it has made my periods very light, it has caused weight gain. Even going to the gym 3-5 times a week and having an active job has not helped."

"I mean, I'm not pregnant, but I have been bleeding for 2 weeks straight, and this new period started just a week after my normal period had ended. I'll pass."

"Right now, I just finished my first set. My period was light this month. I can say I’m noticing random bleeding… I hope my body isn’t rejecting it! Other than that, no complaints."

"I’ve been on Tarina Fe for almost a year, and it has been the worst year of my life. I cry all the time. I’m sad all the time. Yes, my periods are short, almost painless, and not a heavy flow at all, but it isn’t worth being sad all the time. I’ve never in my life dealt with so much anxiety."
