"I take hormonal birth control for PMDD. I’m currently readjusting/getting back onto Camila to treat that. I was on it for 1.5 years previously, and I didn’t have any periods or spotting unless I missed a pill or took a pill late. The window for tolerance is way smaller (I would spot if I took my pill 20-30 minutes late), but if you’re good with taking meds on time, it’s not an issue. I also can’t take estrogen, so this is 1 out of 2 contraceptive types I can take for my disorder. It’s also the only type that’s fully covered by my insurance, which is REALLY nice. It has seriously been a miracle for my PMDD and I’m praying it kicks back in soon. No periods mean that I get to live my life happy and healthy, without losing 2 weeks out of every month to suicidality, despair, and paranoia. Everyone is different, but this is worth a shot, especially if you can’t take estrogen-based BCs. Don’t give up! :)"

"Okay, let me start off by saying I wish I had read these reviews earlier. My hair has been falling out in clumps for a while now. It seriously looks like I have thinning hair issues. I had a baby almost 6 months ago, so I attributed the hair loss to that because I had read things about postnatal hair loss. However, this is abnormal. There is hair everywhere! On the floor, on my clothes, on my vanity. It is depressing. I have 2 other kids, and my hair never fell out like this. Also, I have no sex drive whatsoever. I am taking them for birth control, I guess they work because we barely have sex now. I am also experiencing vaginal dryness and itchiness. Never had that issue before EVER! I'd rather use condoms... stopping these today!"

"I had to stop Camila after one month. Ordered it online after filling out a brief questionnaire. Due to the fact I smoke and am 35, they gave me Camila. I used Ortho Tri-Cyclen my whole life and had no issues. This one made me have my period for a straight month with maybe a week off. I bled so heavily I went to the ER and was in so much pain they thought I had developed a blood clot in my lung. I almost went a second time due to heavy bleeding again a week later. Mood swings were insane... I feel these results are caused by too much estrogen in this pill. Either way, I feel so much better being off it for just one week. Good luck!"

"Biggest issue is my breasts hurt so bad. I wish I could take them off. Never had this issue before. And I either gained weight or am extremely bloated."

"Love it. No period. I have gained weight but need to change my diet anyways. I have PMDD, and this pill really has changed my life for the better."

"I have been sick for months with this pill! I do nothing but vomit all day, my breast hurts, and my period went from 3 days to 7 or more. I ended up in the ER. I thought I was having a stroke!"
