For Birth Control "Within the first 2 weeks, I had horrible acne around my mouth, constant breast tenderness, and immediate weight gain. This was only the tip of the iceberg. As my time on Tri-Lo-Marzia increased, so did my problems. I have never been as moody as I was on Tri-Lo-Marzia, with the most intense mood swings. The depression I had while on Tri-Lo-Marzia was comparable to the depression I experienced during my parents' divorce, only 5 times worse. My final week on it led me to experience the worst migraine of my life, one that persisted for 4 days straight with no moment of peace. What ultimately led me to stop taking this pill was reaching the lowest point in my life, something I have not considered in many, many years, nonetheless seriously considered. My final night with Tri-Lo-Marzia in my system was a culmination of depression, tears, and anger as I am baffled at how a synthetic hormone could cause such havoc in my life. I took this pill for 1 month and 7 days."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I started this pill after a few years of not being on the pill for a heavy period. My doctor prescribed Tri-Lo-Marzia to help control the heavy periods. However, I would have rather still dealt with the heavy periods than the chronic pain I faced for the five months I was on the pill. Every time I called my doctor asking why I was feeling period-like pain almost every day, she said my body was just “getting used to” the pill. I was also suddenly getting UTIs, bad breast pain, and random severe mood swings. Well, I ended up going to a urologist and was diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction. NEVER in my life have I had an issue like this. Now, after being off that pill for 4 months, my body finally feels back to normal. The cramping has gone down SO much. Although the bleeding is kind of heavy again each month, I don't care. I NEVER want to feel that pain again!"
