For Birth Control "Tri-Lo-Mili is the worst thing you will ever take. I miss my old self. This pill has made me lash out at loved ones, depressed, emotional, anxious, the list goes on. It made me completely dry down there, and it made me break out into a rash. I have been itching all over my body for a month now. I’ve been on the pill for two months, and I tried to stick it out and see if the symptoms would go away, but no. I will be getting off this immediately. First time on birth control and the last time."

For Birth Control "I've been on it for almost two months, and I have been very emotional. I have gotten mad about very little things. I have felt very bloated… although my sex drive is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I literally have thought about sex almost every day. Hopefully, I don't get pregnant because I don't want kids now. Although on my first month, I have been three days late for my period, and so I was worried I was pregnant. I have been eating A LOT. So far, I give this birth control an 8/10 unless I'm pregnant, then I give it a -194739/10."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on Tri-Lo-Mili for about 3 months now, and it’s been great. The first week, I was a bit emotional, but it subsided very quickly. The only thing, I wasn’t prepared to bleed every day for a month, but once my body adjusted, it was right back to normal. Another plus is it gave me a lighter period, so I do recommend."

For Birth Control "I started taking this birth control 10 days ago. At first, I felt fine, but I've started to notice an increase in PMS issues. I've noticed being more cranky than when I was off of birth control, having random crying spells for no reason, and just not feeling like myself. I've noticed having a high, but then completely absent libido, and not really wanting to do anything. It's caused nausea after I was used to not having it, and it's increased my fatigue. I think it's also giving me drastic mood swings; one minute I'll be happy and fine, and the next, completely sad and grumpy. It works like a regular birth control pill, but I would definitely not recommend it. I'm not taking any more of those pills."

For Birth Control "I was on this birth control for about a year and a half. For the first few months, I noticed increasing mood swings during that time of the month. Eventually, my libido became almost nonexistent, and my mood entirely changed. I became pretty irregular as well. Everyone is different, but I have since switched to Blisovi Fe due to being unable to handle the side effects of the other."

For Birth Control "I started on Tri-Lo Sprintec and now take Tri-Lo Mili (the same pill, just different names) for about 4 and 1/2 years now. Since I started, it has been a great experience. I went on it to balance my hormones and get rid of my cystic acne, which was very bad at the time. Within about 6 months, my skin was flawless. I had 0 symptoms, and my periods were regular and on time. Fast forward to now, I still get my period the same day every single month. Some months are better than others as far as cramping + bleeding, but still manageable. I also went on this pill to prevent ovarian cysts from bursting, and I have been free of pain since. I get sensitive + emotional at times of my cycle, but I have been on this pill for a long time so it is hard to say if this is a side effect anymore. Overall, limited side effects, for SURE worth it if you struggle with cystic acne, this pill literally evaporated it off my face!!"

For Birth Control "I’ve been on this for a little over one month. Taking it for birth control and to treat PCOS symptoms. The only thing that I’ve noticed personally and in these reviews is that the first month on it is absolutely awful. Well, like there’s good and bad. Good: I’m not pregnant, but bad: everything feels over-exaggerated. Emotionally, I had my first real conflict with my partner because of it, because it made me feel so emotional and so short-tempered. I literally yelled at my partner because he doesn’t wipe down the kitchen counters correctly. (Yes, I really did that). But yeah, I recommend. I like not being pregnant, and this pill hasn’t made me gain weight other than the weight from emotionally eating at a Chili's on a Monday night. I will say the emotions will ramp up the last four pills in the pack, so I’d point that out for your partner to schedule his hunting trips accordingly."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on Tri-Lo-Mili for over a year, it’s my first birth control. I’m switching to a more permanent form of birth control for convenience reasons. But this birth control has been nothing but great. I am highly sexually active with one partner and do not use other forms of contraceptive. I’ve gotten my period every month on time for the past year. I’m the same as I was before taking it, and I would 100% recommend it to others. I was extremely emotional at first, just sensitive to yelling and conflict, the idea of an animal in harm had me sobbing, but that faded away after about six months. But in my experience, it’s definitely done its job at preventing pregnancy considering I use it on its own. And with minimal to no side effects. Everyone is different, but I would recommend :)"
