"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."

"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."

"On my 3rd pack, been having light/heavy bleeding since the start of the 2nd pack. I guess I can't really get pregnant if I can't have sex."

"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."

"Honestly, I did not notice a lot of side effects. But it also did not help at all with cramps or heavy flow at all."

"The medication in itself wasn't bad, I was terrible at taking it, but it gave me terrible heartburn. I've since switched to the patch with no problems."

"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."

"Works great, except for the fact that it makes my face super dry and itchy. That’s the only downfall I’ve had so far."
