"I had severe preeclampsia at the end of my pregnancy that did not go away after birth. My doctor prescribed this birth control because it doesn't raise your blood pressure like combo pills do. So I waited 7 weeks postpartum to start the pills. As soon as I started them, I started to bleed, and I didn't stop bleeding for 8 straight weeks. Apparently, this happens to many people, and it's the lack of estrogen in the pills that makes it happen. I didn't have too many other side effects from these, however. Most birth control pills make me crazy, these didn't, so at least there is one good thing about them. But I did stop taking them. Now I'm going to start Tri-Linyah, wish me luck."

"Honestly, I was a little skeptical due to the reviews because then I was like, “great, another terrible experience on birth control,” and so far, it has been good! I think with me already having issues with my mental health and combination pills causing high blood pressure, this one really helped as far as very little to no side effect symptoms. I’m really moody sometimes, and my sex drive is through the roof, but other than that, I think it’s good so far."

"I was prescribed this because I had my baby in December and was breastfeeding. It is the only birth control I've ever been on, but I think I can safely say it is by far the worst one! Not only have I been bleeding 25 days out of the month, but I've gotten my period 3 times in just one month, and it's even heavier than before! Add constant bleeding with awful mood swings, and you get a living hell. That's been my life on these pills the past 3 months. I'm definitely switching!"

"This is my first time on BC and specifically this one because I cannot take a combined pill due to clotting issues. This pill has been great! No prolonged bleeding, normal periods for the last four months. This is my fifth month on it and I am only spotting, which I am happy about. No weight gain, no acne, nothing. I’m extremely active (workout 5-6 times a week) and I haven’t noticed any weight gain, in fact, I’ve lost weight. No increased hunger. This pill has worked great for me. Don’t blame pre-existing conditions on this pill. It’s a safe alternative."

"I switched off of Nikki (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) for Sharobel, which I primarily use to treat PMDD. I have new acne (never had before) and PMDD symptoms while taking Sharobel, and a lot of full-blown, breakthrough periods, so I do not recommend it for PMDD. I’m switching back to Nikki."

"They prescribed me this birth control because I've recently had a baby and I'm breastfeeding. I've been on it for 3 months, and yet no period! And I've gained a lot of weight! I'm going to my doctor and getting my birth control pill changed."

"I have tried so many birth controls and was put on this after I was told I could no longer be on the combination pill. I was very nervous as people typically only leave a negative review if they have a bad experience. I am so happy with this pill. Zero mental health changes, zero appetite changes, acne has stayed stable, and my boobs have gone up a cup size. 10/10."

"Turned 35 last year in November. I was on Cryselle, which is a low estrogen pill. It has been the love of my life for over 5 years. No problems! Scheduled periods, if I missed a pill, I was fine. My doctor ordered this birth control to try because I am a smoker. I am on my last row, and it’s not for me! I forgot to take my pill, I took two at a time. I feel this was where my nightmare began. On Cryselle, my cycle was between the 16th and 17th. Starting these pills began spotting before that time. Sex brought it on the next day. I'm upset about the new cycle day. It's heavier, darker blood, I have to wear pads, liners won't do. Cryselle had me spoiled with light blood and 3 to 4-day periods. The blood's smell is very strong! I'm seeing a lot of dark blood clots! I made a gynecologist appointment this week. I am getting off these pills. I have an increased appetite! I just lost 8 lbs at the end of last year. Increased sex drive, vaginal dryness, not sure if it was the type of condom used or just normal dryness after a second round of sex."

"I've had extreme hair loss. To the point of where I'm crying with this medicine, weight gain, and my face has broken out like it has never in my life. Over this and will never be taking again!"

"I've been bleeding lightly for 3 weeks, and it smells fairly bad. I'm quitting it for these reasons and going back to my old birth control pill."
