For Endometriosis "I experienced increasing endometriosis pain for 4 years, which culminated in two months of extreme, continuous pain. I was reluctant to try anything that changed my hormones due to negative experiences with birth control in the past. I was given Low-Ogestrel when I went into the ER for the endometrial pain. I took it that night and woke up pain-free the next day! This one tiny pill gave me my life back. I was astounded. I had slight nausea for the first few days, but that subsided, and I have experienced no other side effects."

For Birth Control "Been on this pill for about 6 months. Went on it for two reasons: 1) Irregular/missed periods 2) Contraceptive purposes. It has been very effective in regulating my periods. I get them on the third placebo pill every month, like clockwork. They used to be horribly painful, and I now only get occasional moderate or light cramping, with much lighter and shorter periods (3-4 days). So far, so good as a contraceptive. I am in a monogamous relationship, and therefore, this is my only means of protection. The only issue I've had is that it caused some nausea, particularly when I haven't been RIGHT on time with it (a few hours late or something). Overall, a very good pill."

For Birth Control "I've been taking this birth control since I was a freshman in high school. I'm 19 now, and I'd have to say I've really had no problems. I started Low-Ogestrel 28 after having major problems with some others I tried out. You might have some nausea for the first few months, but it goes away once your body gets used to it. I had terrible heavy periods and hormonal acne, and it makes my period way more regular. I know the exact day and time my period will start every month, and they are shorter and lighter. Plus, I've been in a serious relationship for a long time where we don't use condoms, so I know it works, lol. 10/10"

For Birth Control "I have been on this medication for a week after switching from my old pill. I was getting more and more nauseous each day until I woke up on the 7th morning of taking it to horrible nausea and vomiting. I will not be continuing to take this pill."

For Endometriosis "I have been on Low-Ogestrel pill to help treat my endometriosis for a little over a month, and I still suffer from nausea and queasiness, to the point where if I smell food, it gets worse. I hope it gets better, however, I have not had pain since I've been on the pill. Does anyone have a remedy to help with the horrible queasiness? Please do tell!!"

For Birth Control "I have been taking this pill for 7 months. The first 3 months were the worst as my body was adjusting, and I was so bipolar and nauseous. Now... it honestly worsened my acne from mild to moderate, painful cysts. No weight gain. But honestly, this pill has left me an emotional wreck. If I'm not angry, I am sad or easily irritated. Happiness is rare. And I break out even worse during my period in places I never even broke out before. Not the worst, but not the best. Definitely switching pill brands."

For Birth Control "Okay, I'm going to admit there is some nausea, but after about 2 weeks, it goes away. Also, my breasts are slowly getting bigger... not sure if anyone else has similar results. Other than that, it works."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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?"

For Birth Control "I had my period for a month straight after taking this for a couple of weeks. Then, when that was finally done and I got my period again the week before, I was extremely bloated and constipated. I have had no sex drive, when my boyfriend tries to be physical with me, I get disgusted, and my anxiety and depression have been horrible. Along with that, I have nausea almost every time I eat. I've been miserable. Worst birth control I have ever taken."

For Birth Control "Just want to say this first and foremost. Every girl’s body is different and is going to react differently to this pill. Not everyone is going to have the same experience. Some it will work great for, others it may not. I’ve read some good reviews and some bad reviews. I’ve been on Low-Ogestrel for about a week now, and I’ve noticed no difference in mood or diet. My period lasted about 5 days on this pill and seems to be working well for me. I am not sure if my opinion will change over the next few months given that I’ve only been taking this for a week. But as of right now, this pill is working well for me. I was on a different form of birth control a while back that gave me horrible migraines and nausea, and so far, LO has done none of that for me. I feel perfectly fine after taking this pill. As of right now, I give this pill a good review as it has been working for me."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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 they were 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!"

For Birth Control "I've only been on this pill for a week now, and my breasts have become bigger. I was in a C and D in some, but none of my C's fit me anymore. And I don't know if this affects it or not, but I started the pill on the Sunday my period was on. I also am very nauseous when I wake up or stand up for a long time. My hips have hurt very badly in the past couple of days. Really thinking about stopping this medication."
