TriNessa Lo for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding User Reviews

"Out of the 3 pills I have taken (the others being Microgestin Fe and Tri Lo Sprintec), Trinessa is probably the best. Microgestin caused not only constant constipation and the worst depression I've ever experienced. I switched to Trinessa, and these problems lessened within the first month. Trinessa did give me some nasty forehead acne and mood swings, but these also disappeared relatively quickly. My only real complaint is that until the 5th month on it, I would spot for a week straight before my placebo week. My flow was pretty heavy, but no terrible cramps accompanied it."

"I've been on TriNessa Lo for 6 months. Everything was going well until just now, having abnormal bleeding since the start of my period-going on 18 days of bleeding. Not sure if I should continue the BC, scared to try others as this one was fine for me."

"I have a super heavy period. This gave me melasma. I don't think it caused my HUGE uterine cyst, but I have one now that large mine is 8.6 cm. Do not use this drug."

"When I got off birth control years ago (Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo), although I loved the light periods and perfect skin, I didn't like the synthetic hormones idea and swore I'd never take birth control again. Skip ahead a few years with very irregular periods and extremely painful and heavy flows and spotting lasting weeks, my OBGYN strongly encouraged trying it again. Within a day of taking TriNessa Lo, the bleeding stopped. I was so hesitant from the reviews, but I have not experienced ANY side effects except for low sex drive."
