For Birth Control "The worst thing I have ever experienced. Getting pregnant again would have been better than this birth control. I wasted 4 months of my life on this pill. I gained weight, hair loss, cramps, headaches more than I didn’t have headaches. Finally stopped it and all my symptoms have been subsiding. I’m sure it works differently for different people, but it was the worst thing I’ve ever done."

For Birth Control "So far, it has been okay. A lot of spotting and minor headaches. Less acne and no hair loss. I used to have very heavy periods every 20 days. I am on Errin, and the first month I spotted every day, I did this on combo pills too. Now, I have a period and then spot a few days. The days I spot are also from taking it an hour late. I'm on my third month now, and I am hoping it regulates everything. I noticed my face looks less haggard, and I am 43."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Been taking it for almost 3 months due to abnormal bleeding with no underlying causes. I've had a transplant, so the mini pill is my only option. I wouldn’t say Errin is awful for me yet since I’ve only been on it for such a short time. I can say though, I used to have severe cramps, but on Errin, they are very, very mild (so mild Tylenol does the trick). My periods do last longer (7 days), and the little brown spotting that occurs is a bit annoying. Hope my body responds well so I can stay on it."

For Birth Control "I was using Yasmin (which was the worst thing ever), then Errin, and in the beginning, it was amazing. More energy, my hair was stronger than ever, I lost a few pounds that I gained from my previous birth control, and everything was beautiful. And then I started having a period every two weeks, and I thought that was going to be just until my body got used to it. Now, after 3 months, I still get my period every week or two weeks, and my skin is horrible, oily and dry at the same time, and I started having big issues with nausea. I don’t know what to do anymore. I think birth control is not for me..."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Terrible. I had taken a combo pill years before and had no issues. This gave me headaches, tender breasts, and irregular periods. I had two periods a week and a half apart, then one that lasted 10 days. I stuck it out to see if it would regulate things, but it didn’t. Never again. Switching back to a low-dose combo pill."

For Birth Control "Before taking this birth control pill, Errin, I was on a combination pill (Tarina Fe) for about 7 months. My gynecologist switched me to Errin because of the depressed mood. I've been on it about a week now. The first two days were a nightmare of mood swings, but it's evened out now. My biggest complaint is the number of side effects I'm already experiencing - nausea, dizziness, headache, severe fatigue, bloating, stomach pain. I'm also experiencing fever and chills. I will probably be talking to my gynecologist about this soon if it doesn't let up. I'll take the depressed mood over feeling sick all the time."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I had a pretty large uterine fibroid that my body expelled over the course of three excruciating periods, the last one landing me in the ER. My gyno put me on Errin to control the bleeding and lessen cramps. I have other health issues, and I’m usually someone who gets all the possible side effects of a medication. I haven’t had any issues with this, though, so far. I can’t even tell I’m taking anything other than some nausea the first night. I’m supposed to be on my period now, and my bleeding is very minimal, no cramps so far at all. I am still bleeding from the fibroid removal, so it’s hard to tell what’s causing the bleeding exactly. I’m glad that this is working for me. I’m taking this because I am only able to eat a limited diet, and my estrogen is already high."

For Birth Control "I used to be on birth control for years to inhibit the growth of ovarian cysts. I stopped and was off pills for 6 years. Unfortunately, I am still very fertile, and as a single mom in a committed relationship, I did not want to have more children, especially since I will be 40 next year. I decided to try the mini-pill to avoid the effects of estrogen. This worked in that I didn’t get pregnant while on it, but it caused me pretty much every side effect. I developed acne on my face, my mood swings were crazy and very negative, my appetite greatly increased and I gained weight, I no longer had natural lubrication since my vagina became very dry, I noticed an obvious decrease in libido, and my breasts became very sore and tender the whole time on the pill. I did experience some very light spotting, but I wouldn’t have a problem with that if it weren’t for the other symptoms. Unfortunately, I’ll have to resort to another method of birth control. I had high hopes for this pill."

For Birth Control "Well, I didn't get pregnant, thankfully, off Errin birth control pill. I always took the same BC since I was 14, with no issues. Turned 35 and had to switch but have now stopped taking Errin due to negative side effects. My hair and face get really oily fast. I've stopped having my period, developed cystic acne, and developed eczema since taking this BC."

For Birth Control "I'm 42 years old. Omg, this pill makes me feel like I'm on my cycle every day. I'm assuming it's the pill. I've been on it for over two years now. It's been causing problems with my husband because sex is just not in the books for me. I'm moody, cramps all the time, headaches...it makes me sick. I just want my tubes tied."

For Endometriosis "Due to blood clot and diagnosis of autoimmune clotting disorder (anti-phospholipid syndrome), I had to be put on a non-estrogen birth control to help with my endometriosis. The pill has caused me to spot just about every single day, and I have been on it for over 6 months. It has not been able to control the cramps, and I have to have 800 mg ibuprofen on hand at all times. It has cut down on my 7-10 day very heavy period, but since I spot every day, not sure if it's really helped with the blood loss and anemia. When I started, I had just about every symptom of pregnancy, but I was not pregnant. This went away after about 1 month of use. Unfortunately, this is my only option at the moment, so I'm kind of stuck with this."

For Birth Control "I’m fifty, and I took Errin birth control pill for six months and just quit it due to side effects. I lost a lot of hair, which was extremely noticeable. You can now see my scalp through my hair from five feet away. I used to have thick hair, so this really affected me. I also had painful cystic acne around my mouth. I never had acne my entire life. Always had great skin. Now I have scars on my face. Lastly, lengthy, heavy bleeding during my period. It would last ten days and consisted of large clots of blood that would leak out past a tampon. It’s just not worth it. Avoid at all costs."

For Birth Control "I'm at the end of my 2nd month. First month was on the .25 dose. Gained 4-5 pounds in the first 2 weeks! I'm very petite and have been the same weight for 20 years, so this was a huge drawback. My doctor changed me to the .35 dose, and still the same weight but now more pimples and bled for 2 weeks. Also, I think this pill makes me feel kind of blah and empty inside. Could be environmental factors, but I think I'll be switching soon!"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I started taking this back in July 2019. I had been taking the combination pill form for 6 years, and they switched me to this because I have Factor 5 (a clotting disorder). I liked it at first, no complaints, but now I’m having periods every two weeks and then they stopped. And I got a cold a few days ago and woke up today to heavy bleeding. I’m not sure what to do because I was under the impression I wouldn’t have a period, maybe just some spotting, but not heavy like this. I feel awful, it has completely drained me."

For Birth Control "I really wanted to have a more positive experience on Errin, but it just wasn't a good fit for me. After a month of bi-weekly periods, I started spotting every other week, and as a result, it felt like I was constantly PMSing. I gained about 8 pounds of water weight, and I felt uncomfortable and bloated almost all day, every day. Lastly, I just didn't feel like myself on Errin. I would get very inconvenienced by small things, it made me very emotional, and it was even hard to get out of bed in the morning some days. It also kept my psoriasis breakouts pretty constant. I asked my doc if I could take some time off instead of starting a new pack, and within 5 days, I was back to a normal weight, my skin cleared, and I felt like myself."

For Birth Control "So I’ve been on Errin for 4 months. I was on Trivora prior, but have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure at 26, so I was switched. Anyways, the first month was spotty, the second month I noticed if I didn’t take it the same EXACT time, down to the minute, I would spot. The third month was okay, still spotting here and there, but didn’t have a full period. This fourth month has been ridiculous, I have been spotting since the time I was supposed to get my period last month. I’m calling tomorrow to switch back, I’m over this. One star for Errin."

For Birth Control "When I first started this BC, I liked it. First month, no bleeding, missed my period totally, and my nipples hurt so bad I thought I was pregnant, but then a week into the second month, my period showed up. I lost weight that I gained on previous birth controls, so I liked that about this pill, but now I've been on it for 6 months and I've noticed the past 2 months I've had little to no sex drive and it makes discharge REALLY thick. I don't like that. Also, it's making it so it's nearly impossible to orgasm all of a sudden, and I'm getting acne. I'm not super happy with this BC, and I'm going to switch, but I am glad it worked well for 4-6 months considering how sensitive I am to BC pills."

For Birth Control "I really was looking forward to trying this new birth control. The first month was fine with little to no side effects. However, about 3 months in, it started to have a negative effect on my mental health. I didn't feel like me and became very sensitive to the smallest problems, as well as it completely messed up my menstrual cycle. Would I recommend it? No. Never."

For Birth Control "I'm on month 3, and at first I had no side effects because I had just gotten off the depo shot. But this month I'm having mood swings. My face is breaking out, and I've always had nice, clear skin, and so far I've been bleeding 8 days straight and cramping every day as well, which I've never done! I'm seriously thinking about getting off this pill or taking nothing at all. I'm tired of all these toxins in my body doing me harm!"

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for 4 months and have not had a single period. This bothers me, to be honest. My period was never late before, so having it missing completely gives me anxiety. I will admit I'm one of those people who don’t take it at exactly the same time every day, give or take an hour or so from the previous day. I haven’t had any other side effects besides this missing period."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Was given a prescription to Errin due to my age (almost 37) and nicotine use. I’ve been using it for 3 weeks and am already done with it. I’m discontinuing use once my pack is used up. I rarely ever break out (1 or 2 small pimples on my chin during my period, that's it), but this Errin has caused my face to break out ALL OVER. My temples, my cheeks, under my nose, around my chin. Yuck. Bye bye, Errin!"

For Endometriosis "I had god-awful endometriosis. When I get my period, I have cramps so bad I cannot function, diarrhea, and nausea. I started Errin to help fix this issue. The first month I didn’t bleed but had god-awful cramps (per expected). After the first month, my periods came twice a month and lasted about 7 days. My cramps weren’t as bad as when not using birth control. 8 months later and it’s still the same. I’m actually getting off Errin because my active lifestyle isn’t really fitting with having my period half the month. With Errin, my acne skyrocketed too. My chin and cheeks have never been so broken out in my life. I used to never wear makeup, and now I can’t bring myself to be in public without it. I’m glad I have to wear a mask in public because of how bad my acne is. Altogether, I didn’t get pregnant, my cramps got slightly better, and my acne is uncontrollable. Wouldn’t really recommend."

For Birth Control "So, I'm 23 years old. I went to the doctor not only for birth control but for something to control my terrible menstrual cycle. I would bleed for 7 days straight, heavily at that. I was first put on Depo, which I absolutely adored! No periods, no terrible side effects like most people warn you about. Well, after 2 years, my doc tells me it's not good to be on Depo longer than 2 years, so I switched to a pill. I smoke, and at this point in my life, I am not ready to quit, so I take progestin-only pills. At first, starting Errin, I spotted for about 2 weeks, but I figured that was because of not having a period for nearly 2 years. Since then, I have a period every month, and while they only last about 4 days with moderate bleeding. Cramps are bad!!!"

For Birth Control "I was recommended to go on Errin after the combo pill almost landed me in the hospital. I’ve seen negative reviews on this birth control previously, but tried it anyway. Within 2 weeks of being on it, I’ve noticed my hair declining in quality, my appetite is never-ending, and I am bleeding for days on end, and constant breast pain and cramps."

For Birth Control "As much as I wanted to love Errin, this was definitely NOT for me. I have never been any lower mentally, nor experienced so many mood swings all at once. I started taking this birth control at the beginning of March, so for a month, it really just changed my appearance and mental health. Now I have acne all over my face, and it was never as bad as this. Also, I am gaining weight fast too, and I barely even eat. I just do not feel like myself, so if you have anxiety or depression, I would not recommend this birth control. I take .35 mg every day, so maybe it is the dosage and it's too much, but either way, I will not be continuing this pill."
