For Birth Control "I have been taking Tri-Linyah for 4 years. I have never gotten pregnant on this pill. My boobs got a cup size bigger on it, and I was 115 pounds before I took it, and after taking it I am 125 pounds. My periods are on time and lighter on the pill. The nausea subsided about 2 months after first taking it. The only thing I didn't like about it is that it gave me mood swings and lower sex drive."

For Birth Control "I've been taking this for two months and hate it. My periods have been extremely worse than the ones I had before the pill. Plus I'm spotting every single week. In addition, I am so nauseous, lower sex drive, and very moody. I forgot to take this pill one night and felt way better the next day. I took the pill that night and started feeling sick again immediately. I thought I've had a flu bug, but I think it's the effects of this medication!"

For Birth Control "At 16, I went on the pill. I was on the Ortho Tri-Cyclen for about 3 years with no problem aside from small weight gain. Suddenly, I had gotten my period for 2 months straight! So, my doctor changed me to Sprintec, and immediately I was getting headaches and yeast infections continuously! So now I'm on Tri-Linyah, and it's horrible! My mood swings are out of the world! I lost my sex drive completely! I went from wanting sex with my man of a year all the time to never! The amount of discharge has completely increased, it's horrible."

For Birth Control "I was on this for 3 years, and I can definitely see the pros and cons, but keep in mind, birth control is very different for everyone! Some of the negative side effects I’ve come across in my experience: weight gain in the first year of taking it (went from 153 lbs to 165 lbs), awful mood swings/I’ve noticed a lot more anger in my emotions, I get nauseous every time I take it, and low sex drive. Some pros include: no unplanned babies, periods are light and always on time, clear skin, and bigger boobs. It has its ups and downs, but for myself, it gets the job done, which is great, but I can’t wait till I can get off it in my marriage and get my body back in gear (:"
