For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "So I started to take Errin because this was what was suggested. I regret it so much. I took it every day on time - I had an alarm set so I know it was taken on time religiously. I started to bleed constantly, and it got to the point the clots that started to come out were huge. Like ungodly, my new normal became multiple periods in a month, it sucked. Costing more in hygienic products in a month than I have spent over 3 months without taking it, I shouldn't be going through the big box of tampons in a week. -_- When they normally last me months, granted everyone can experience different things. But this is my experience and why I rated it what I did."

For Birth Control "Before I got on this pill, I looked up the reviews and was terrified from all the terrible things I read, but my gyne highly recommended it for me, and I’m happy she did. I’ve been on this pill for about two months now, and my experience has been great. Before getting on this pill, I would have terrible heavy periods that came along with cramps, acne, tender breasts, and mood swings. I have not gotten my period at all since starting it, only spotting with minor cramps. And I have not had any other terrible side effect. I would say give it a try because not everyone’s body is the same."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Okay, so I have been on this for a week now. My face hasn’t broken out more than usual. I have insanely irregular periods, and literally the day after starting this, my period ended, and it hasn’t started up again. Before, I would have maybe two days of no period, and then it would hit me like a freight train again. My body feels much better than it has in years! Again, I have only been on this for a week. I haven’t had any weight gain or random spotting... yet? Idk. Before I got put on this birth control, I literally bled, had intense cramps, mood swings, and migraines pretty much daily. I’m not saying it’s good for everyone, as everyone’s bodies are different. It has worked wonders for me. I will post another review as time goes on. I also haven’t had any issues with my hair falling out or being dull. It’s so nice to not be so damn hormonal every day. I feel so much better health-wise now. I think it’s honestly balancing out my chemicals, but I’m not a doctor."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Errin is awful! So I had my IUD removed and was put on Errin. First month was fabulous, one regular month lasted 6 days, but my normal was 4. Still not a big deal. So, month two, first week not so bad at all, and then the rest came. It’s been about 3 months, and I have bled every week for 3 weeks. It’s great for preventing pregnancy but costing me a fortune in feminine hygiene products because I just can’t stop bleeding. My skin stays broken out, my breasts are constantly tender. The second month I bled, with a 3-day break following, and I have been bleeding since, and it’s not just a light flow. I’m talking if you feel the need to change your product, you better run to the nearest restroom. For me, it has just gushed, and I can’t quite understand why. I contacted my OBGYN and was told to stop taking it immediately, but if I had dizziness, shortness of breath, or a racing heart, I needed to get to the nearest emergency room. Apparently, it’s a common side effect but not a good one and not right for me."

For Birth Control "Ok, so weird experience. I switched to Errin after using Lutera, which made a benign lump in my breast grow. I decided not to mess with that and switched to progesterone-only Errin. When I first started using it, every week I would get really sad and moody. I also was pretty nauseous around the same time every day, and my boobs were really sore and bloated. Also, it stopped my period for two months, which was spooky. So after two months, I stopped using it for a month. This was also when my boyfriend and I got separated due to quarantine, so there was no need. I started it again a month ago, since I was going to see my boyfriend again, and absolutely no mood swings, no nausea, no painful breasts. I don’t know what happened, but I’m thrilled! Also, my breast lump hasn’t grown or changed at all, so no scares there."

For Birth Control "I have been taking Errin for a week now. I started it the first day of my period. I usually have a 2-3 day period, but it stayed on for 6 days, it wasn't heavy. I get emotional due to the pill, I have lost weight, and I also notice my bottom is getting rounder! I'm experiencing light cramping, my hair is still intact, and no acne. I will follow up with you guys in about a month if there are any changes..."

For Birth Control "I’ve been taking Errin for about 5 months now, and I love it! The first month, I had a normal 5-day-long period with no issues, and I haven’t had a period since then. I don’t get any spotting if I don’t take it on time and no breakouts. I love the smaller amount of hormones too. Totally recommend."

For Birth Control "I have been on Errin for about a year now. I chose it because I had just had a baby and wanted to be able to breastfeed. I've had a great experience with it. No moodiness or weight gain. I've been on other birth control pills that were combo ones, and those I could tell changed me emotionally, but I haven't had a problem with this one. I can't relate to others who have mentioned having a period for 3 weeks straight because my period didn't come back for about 9 months after having my son. But now I seem to have a period every other month, and it's only about 3-4 days max and not too heavy. I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you are sensitive to meds or just had a baby and want to nurse."

For Birth Control "As someone who has a needle phobia and a history of factor V in my family, I opted for the mini pill. I also have chronic migraine headaches, occasionally with auras, so that limits my options again. Upon reading Errin's reviews, I was nervous. However, a month and a half in, I have no weight gain, no moodiness, the only negative thing for me was my periods. Out of a month and a half, I have had 3 weeks of bleeding, however, it is lighter than usual and took my period down from 7 days average to 3-4 days average. I take my pill at the EXACT time every day, I recommend setting an alarm. Also, I have been diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder (a form of depression) and generalized anxiety disorder, and Errin has had no effect on my mood."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I have used other birth control in the past that has regulated my periods like clockwork after one month of use. I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and was told this was one of the only pills that did not have a side effect of higher BP. I gave it 4 consistent months, and after I have experienced epic bleeding, to the point it was like having 2 periods back to back, I decided it wasn't for me."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I have been on this pill only 24 days, so I am going to give it a chance, but... I am going through perimenopause, so I take the pill for better control of my period. Not for BC, as I am infertile. After 20 days on the pill, I started my period. The first day was minor spotting, it has now been 4 full days of heavy bright red bleeding, with constant clots. Clots when I pee, clots when I wipe, clots on my pads, clots on my tampons. Some are small, like pea size, and some are huge, like quarter size. I am extremely tired, I have no energy, and fear I am becoming anemic. My doc wants me to do a full 3 to 6 month trial with it because it does take time to get the full effect."

For Birth Control "I got on this birth control at 47 because I was tired of having bad cramps. I don't have any feminine problems, so I really didn't need a cycle at all. I have been taking this pill for 3 years with no cycle at all. I did ask my doctor, can I get off at year 2, but she said if I'm not in menopause, my cycle could come down. It doesn't bother me to pop this pill daily along with my other meds. It did what I wanted-who wants to deal with a cycle at my age."

For Birth Control "Like stated before, everybody handles birth control differently! For me, it has significantly improved my mood! I haven’t had the weight gain, if anything, I’ve lost. Periods can be a little off or nonexistent sometimes, but nothing crazy. (I enjoy the break from a period, lol.) Give it a try!"

For Birth Control "Was on the depo shot for 2 years. Everything was okay the first year, but I switched because my last 6 months on it was terrible! I had no period for 4 months, it made my depression worse, I was always bloated, gained over 30 pounds, had nipple discharge, and was struggling to stay self-lubricated during sex. I decided to switch to a pill, and my doctor recommended Errin due to my background of migraines. I have been on it for almost 4 months, and I got my period back a month into it. I am no longer constantly depressed or constantly bloated, it doesn’t seem to give me rapid weight gain (I lost two pounds since starting), no more nipple discharge (my breasts grew half a cup size, actually), and I have no dryness issues. I finally feel normal again. I would give it a 10/10, but I haven't been on it long enough. I would recommend anyone who had a good experience with depo that turned horrible to try Errin out."

For Birth Control "I have been on Errin norethindrone tablets for almost five months now and have liked it a lot more than regular birth control tablets. I gained a lot of weight on birth control with estrogen and have not on Errin, which I liked. But, it has not helped acne like my old birth control. I also haven't had a period since the first week I took Errin, which is somewhat concerning, but I'm not pregnant, so I assume it is just my body getting used to the medication. Errin has not affected my mood or mentality."

For Birth Control "I was on Yaz for years and absolutely adored it, but had to switch to the mini-pill when I found out estrogen pills could cause major medical issues with my tunnel-vision migraines. I have grown to truly enjoy this pill as well. I stopped getting my period after two months on the pill, and if it does show up, it usually only lasts a few days. I am naturally petite, but I didn't notice any weight gain that seemed usual. I do have to warn that the first month was very frustrating for me, seeing as I bled for three weeks, but this is also true for many other birth control pills!"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I've been taking Errin for over a year now, and I stopped having a period in March. I stopped the pill until May 18th because I was waiting for a period. I then continued my pill, as my gyno said it can be actually normal to have no period at all. So I got back on them in May. In August, I had a 9-day nightmare bloodbath period. It's now November, and I haven't had one since. Only small amounts of brown. 16 negative pregnancy tests. And I'm 2 months late. Now I'm feeling movement and pressure and thumping. I'm going crazy, this pill makes you actually feel pregnant, but you don't get pregnant."

For Birth Control "I have been using Errin for about a year now, and honestly, I love it. Before Errin, I used a combined BC pill, and I had awful side effects. My limbs went numb, I had terrible headaches, I was very dizzy and nauseous. My healthcare provider recommended a POP because of my past experience with estrogen. Since being on Errin, I have honestly had no side effects. Definitely recommend this BC for those who can’t have estrogen like me."

For Birth Control "I never post here, but after the nightmare this BC put me through, I had to. Started Errin in 4/20, the doctor refused to give me any more combo pills due to high BP. I was put on Errin. 6/20 came around, I noticed my periods were lighter, but my cramps were crazy. I dealt with it and thought it was that one time. THE NEXT FEW MONTHS are a BLUR. I was out of it most of the time when my period came around. Pain in breasts, moody, 30 lb weight gain, bloat, nausea, dizziness, headaches, but THE PAIN in my ovaries back and uterus-out of control. I stayed on these for a year, until 4/21, I couldn't go to work because the pain went from happening during my period to EVERY DAY. I was miserable and felt majorly depressed. I was scared. When the doctor suggested I switch to Slynd after not finding anything wrong, I decided to give it a go, thinking Errin wasn't the problem. 3 months later, the pain is gone. I should have known. I went to the ER for this 5 times. I do NOT recommend. If in doubt and you feel off, check your BC."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I have been on this pill for a year now. I went a while without a period, just constant spotting. Well, I can't tell if it's an extremely light period or just spotting. It's not enough blood for a tampon or pad, but a liner. I hate it because if I do want to have sex, I have to act like I have to pee right before just to make sure I'm not bleeding. I'm on my last pack, and then I'm done with it. I also was on this pill due to high blood pressure and horrible periods. I'll take my risks at not taking this anymore!"

For Birth Control "Been on this for 3 months now. Only taking this pill because I am currently breastfeeding and have no other options, really. I've had probably 6-8 periods since I've started this birth control. I'll bleed for 6-9 days, stop for less than a week, and start the process all over again. The bleeding is heavy. I've gained some weight. The acne is terrible and extremely painful. I've developed constant cramping and occasional heart palpitations. Oh, and the hair loss. My god. I have to empty my brush 2-3 times when I brush my hair, and clumps come out in the shower. The worst side effect I have encountered on this pill is the moodiness. I get so angry for absolutely no reason and catch myself freaking out over the littlest things. The side effects of this pill are terrifying. I've been on numerous different pills as well as the depo over the last 11 years, and this is by far the absolute worst. I would never recommend."

For Birth Control "I am 5 months postpartum. I’ve been taking Errin for 3 months now for BC and endometriosis. I feel like it doesn’t cause me mood swings. It does make me feel very nauseous and super dizzy all the time. I keep thinking I’m pregnant and buying tests only for them to say negative. That’s my only complaint. But glad I’m not pregnant."

For Birth Control "I started taking Errin over one year ago when my doctor recommended me to get off the combination pill because of migraines, my age, and high blood pressure. All I know is that since I’ve been on it, I’ve gained 10 to 15 pounds that I cannot lose. I work out, I eat right more than I ever did before. I don’t know if the pill is contributing to it. I also have mood swings. I normally do not get my period, but though last month I got one, and it was pretty heavy. I do get the breast tenderness, so I’m not sure if I want to stay on it or not. The weight gain is what’s really bothering me."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I was on Errin for two months. I'm in perimenopause, and it was recommended to control some abnormal bleeding. The first month was okay, but I basically bled all of month two, either spotting or very, very heavy. Stopped it a few days ago and still bleeding. I went to the doctor and had an exam - no other physical cause for the heavy bleeding. He agreed I should stop taking it, although he wanted me to try originally for three or four months. I don't see how - this was the worst bleeding ever. I'll take perimenopausal irregularity over this."
