"This medication has been pretty good overall. I haven’t gotten pregnant and my acne has gotten noticeably better. I have gained maybe 10 pounds in the months I’ve been taking it, but I’m not sure if it’s because of the pill or just quarantine weight. I do get headaches on my period now when I didn’t before, but overall I’m happy taking this medication."

"I loved the Low-Ogestrel, since I didn't feel any symptoms, and I didn't gain weight or lose hair. The bad ONLY side effect is excess hair growth (hirsutism). My doctor switched me for another brand of pill."

"I began taking LO when I was 18 as my periods were always painful, heavy, a full week long, and irregular for the 5 years before beginning this medication, with cycles anywhere from 18 days to 35 days. The bad cramps, heavyish flow, and lengthy period never really went away when I began the pill, which is the only reason I give this less than a 10/10. I fortunately never had a problem with my skin, and LO definitely didn't create any problem. The main reason I was prescribed this pill over any other is because it's totally covered by insurance. It has been very effective at doing what it's supposed to for me, i.e., preventing pregnancy, and it's a really nice bonus to not have to panic about not being protected from a period that I don't know when to expect. I am going to stop taking this pill only because after 3.5 years, I am sooooo tired of taking a pill every day. I'll just take my chances, lol."

"I was put on the pill when I was 16 for a possible ovarian cyst. I was on it for about a year or so before I came off of it for the negative side effects. My body went back to normal straight away and didn't think anything of it. When I met my husband, we talked and decided that it wasn't the right time for us and went back on it. I was on it for 14 months and got off of it for the same reasons as before, and also we want to try to conceive. I have not had my period since November. I went to my doctor in January who put me on Provera for ten days and finally got a withdrawal period. It's mid-April and still nothing. Don't do it."

"I have tried several different birth controls. They all gave me major mood swings. This birth control is the first one that I have been able to take successfully."

"Been on this pill going on two and a half years now, no problems so far. I have rarely had bad cramps, and I have had no issues with spotting to date. Overall, a gentle but highly effective pill."
