For Birth Control "I’ve been on this birth control for not even a full packet, and I’m already bleeding more than a normal breakthrough bleeding. I haven’t used the placebo pills yet either. This has to be one of the worst pills I’ve ever tried. I’m about 10x more moody, and I want to scream constantly."

For Birth Control "This is the worst birth control I have ever taken in my life. I've been having severe anxiety, cramps in the heart area, bleeding, severe nausea, and my face had finally cleared after years of work, and now I'm experiencing breakouts and headaches."

For Birth Control "I have tried a few different birth controls throughout my life: Depo shot and Nexplanon. Both made me spot between periods, bleed for months straight, gain weight, and develop horrible hormonal acne. I decided to switch to the pill just in case I had bad side effects and also for acne. I’ve been taking it for 5 months now, and this is the only birth control that hasn’t given me horrible side effects. My periods are really stable and around the same time every month. Better yet, my acne is finally getting better."

For Birth Control "First time being on birth control and to be quite honest, it is not for me! VyLibra has made it so hard on me, and I haven't taken it for more than a month. It's given me hemorrhaging. When I tell you, I have to be in the bathroom practically the whole day because the blood clots are just gushing out every 5-10 minutes. I also never, ever get cramps, and for sure this gave me them. I am uncomfortable, and I wish I never took anything to begin with."

For Birth Control "Constant breakthrough bleeding! I’ve been on VyLibra since December, and it’s currently April. I haven’t stopped spotting yet. I’m already an emotional/moody person, and this exacerbated the issue. It’s made me very tearful and embarrassed due to continuous spotting. Breast soreness was incredibly painful as well."

For Birth Control "Worst switch-over ever. Pharmacist gave this to me instead of Sprintec (previously on a different BC, I changed to another brand and had zero problems), but this was the WORST. I have PMS, but this made every day of the month worse. I was super flustered, couldn’t focus/remember what task I was doing, increased anxiety, and felt depressed. Had breakthrough bleeding and severe cramping. I had zero motivation and could sense a weird type of depression that I’ve never experienced hit me right after starting the pill. I’m a newlywed with a good job - this is absolutely NOT my norm. I requested to switch back ASAP, and my doctor told me to finish the pack. I am back on my other brand and feel an immediate difference in every way."

For Birth Control "I read the reviews, shocked! I’ve been on this birth control for over 6 months. The only dislike is it does have some breakthrough bleeding, but usually pretty light. I lost my baby weight, which was great. No other side effects. I already had migraines previously, they haven’t gotten worse, no mood swings I’ve noticed, no acne. Birth control is good, and I’ll continue to use it!"
