For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I was prescribed Sharobel for abnormal bleeding and because I can’t take estrogen due to clotting problems. It started out rough - the cramping was severe and my periods were heavier. I had horrible breast tenderness. There are definitely pros and cons to taking this pill. I’ve been on it for a year and it hasn’t regulated my cycles. I sometimes have two a month, sometimes I’m very late, or sometimes I just have spotting. I’ve gotten some acne and minor hair loss. However, I used to have chronic UTIs and that stopped after starting this pill. My cycles are also now extremely light and here and there, no cramping and really no PMS. I’m staying on it."

For Birth Control "The first two weeks were perfectly fine. I feel like my breasts got bigger/fuller, but they became really sensitive and sore all the time. Then about the third week came around, and I missed one pill by a little bit, and I haven't stopped bleeding since. (I've been bleeding for three weeks straight with unusual dark colored discharge.) Also, my skin and just about everything feels super dry compared to normal. Haven't gained weight or gotten zits, so I guess that's okay. Drive is through the roof, but I can't do anything. :^( Hoping this bleeding will stop soon. Might go to the doc."

For Birth Control "After 5 years of the Mirena IUD, it got lodged in my uterus and required surgical removal. I was going to get another one until that happened. I was then on the depo shot and gained a ton of weight. Since I was a smoker and over 30, my doctor didn't want me taking anything with estrogen, so she put me on Sharobel. I noticed that my boobs felt HUGE and super sore for the first week, and also my chin and back broke out for the first few weeks. The only other gripe I have with this pill is that it has to be taken the same exact time every day. I'm busy, forgetful, and my schedule is all over the place. Might be going back to the shot soon just because of that. Upsides: less risk of blood clots and no period to speak of (yay!)"
