"I was given this pill because I was having my period for a full month and breaking out badly. I've always had these problems, and other brands of birth control wouldn't work for me. I took this, and my period went back to normal right away. My skin has gotten absolutely amazing. I used to try every single thing I could to cure my acne. When I got on this pill, my skin completely cleared. When I do get a pimple, it'll only be one, and it'll be very small. I couldn't be happier with this birth control. My partner and I have had slipups, and I haven't gotten pregnant."

"I have just finished my first month of taking Low-Ogestrel. I was put on it because of my horrible menstrual cramps and haven't really experienced any bad side effects other than migraines during the first week or so. I am currently on my period and didn't have any cramps, I am also bleeding very lightly. So thumbs up for me!"

"It is the only medication that controls my period. I am 50 years young, and my period should have stopped. After trying many things, I am taking this even though I can no longer have children. I have been on it for a year and have gained some weight, but I don't know if that is the pill. I exercise regularly and eat healthy. I would recommend anyone to try it."

"I am so satisfied with Low Ogestrel! I am only a teenager, just using this birth control for period management; not actual birth control. Before I was on this pill I had the worst periods ever. I had unbearable cramps, I was sick all of the time, and yet we're very very heavy! Now I have been on Low Ogestrel for 8 months and I couldn't be happier with the results. My periods are much lighter, only last a few days, I have far less cramping, and I don't get sick anymore! I experience very slight side effects, sometimes nausea after taking the pill every night, and slight weight gain. Overall, totally worth it!"

"I was on this birth control pill Low-Ogestrel-28 for 3 years. Overall, I had no problems. I weighed about 115lb when I started it and after 3 years I was about 135. I was a college athlete and have always been active, but I found it harder to maintain my desired weight on this pill. Although I don't fully contribute my weight gain to the pill after the first month after stopping it I have dropped almost 8 pounds. (with balanced diet and exercise). Other than weight, I have completely enjoyed this pill. My periods were light and lasted about 4 days total. Minimal cramps. My period also started exactly when it was supposed to every single month. I only had to switch birth control methods due to high blood pressure caused by the estrogen in the pill. But if you are good about remembering to take the pill I highly recommend this pill!"

"I get severe acne now, I sweat more often then not now, and I now have cramping - which I have never had before. Plus I start my period early and end late."

"I am 55 and after 6 months of no period- mine came back with a vengeance. 14 days straight heavy bleeding huge clots. The doctor put me on this medicine and instructed me to take 4 pills on day 1, 3 on day 2... etc until I was down to one a day- skipping the placebo and going straight to the next set of pills. It works great except one thing- the nausea. I am nauseous all the time. Is this normal?"
