For Birth Control "I have been on this pill for about 3 years now. My only complaint is the first year I had terrible hormonal acne. I still don't have the clearest skin, but it has definitely improved. My other symptom is that I haven't had a period at all, I only had slight bleeding one day because I took it late. Other than that, I've had 0 symptoms, I haven't gained any weight or had terrible mood swings. Would recommend trying this if you are hesitant. Make sure you take it at the SAME time every day."

For Birth Control "This birth control is awful. Within the first two weeks of taking it, I've had unpredictable bleeding, extreme mood swings, and horrible acne. I hate not being able to predict my period."

For Amenorrhea "Biggest side effects starting on this Heather pill were terrible headaches, fatigue, and acne. Decided the side effects were not worth the benefit. Decided to try some natural remedies instead."

For Birth Control "I've never had a good experience with birth control until I tried Heather. I used to get painful periods to the point where medication didn't work and I couldn't get out of bed. I did experience spotting and hair loss the first 3 months, but that's it. My hair has grown back longer and healthier than ever, and I never get a period or any spotting at all. I refuse to get off this pill, it has been amazing!"
