For Birth Control "I was recently on a different birth control for 5 years, but my body got too used to it, so I changed to Mili. I never had any crazy side effects. No mood swings, no weight gain, no breakthrough bleeding, etc. I felt the exact same. Maybe some cramping in the first week. I truly was so happy because I was so scared of changing to a new one. Until 2 months later, I started breaking out like crazy. It's been a year, and I'm still breaking out like crazy. I've never had acne, and now I'm left with all these pimples and scarring. I am not switching to a birth control meant to treat acne, so I won't have this problem. Everyone is different, but this was my experience."

For Birth Control "I was switched to Mili from Sprintec, and my flow became even lighter and had no cramping. It was nice, to say the least. One thing I didn't like was that I couldn't skip a period because I'd pay for it with two weeks of bleeding. (I only skip maybe once a year.)"

For Birth Control "My doctor prescribed Mili because my anxiety and PMS (anger) issues get really bad with my periods. I was supposed to take Mili nonstop and just skip the placebo week so that I wouldn't have periods. About my 3rd month of taking Mili, I started my period. I had heavy bleeding for 2 weeks. Called the doctor, and they told me to take 800 mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours (that's a lot for me, I normally only take the 200 mg tablets when I'm really hurting), so I did this, and the bleeding lessened but never stopped. I stopped taking Mili (on my own), but the doctor also recommended it. So I had 2 weeks of heavy bleeding on Mili, 3 days of spotting, and now I'm on my period again. Hopefully, it stops soon. I'm very frustrated with this whole experience. I took Sprintec a couple of years ago, and my insurance changed my pill. I started having suicidal thoughts. I'm not 100% sure which pill that was, but needless to say, I was already weary about trying birth control again."

For Birth Control "I have been on Mili for about 6 months now, and I do not like it. I have been on birth control pills since I was 23, and I am now 26. My previous birth control did well up until the last 3 months, so my doctor switched me to this one. I have been spotting for the first 3 months, and now just flat-out bleeding for the last 3. I do not feel myself and am borderline bipolar. My hunger is through the roof, and as someone who works out regularly and watches their food, it has been very difficult for me to stick to my calories and macros when I did not have this issue. While it did its job, I think at what cost, lol."

For Birth Control "I've been on it for about 5 months and had to stop periods due to anemia. But when on it, I have bleeding still, so then I have to take progesterone as well. So what’s the point?"
