For Birth Control "So I started taking Sharobel right after I had my last baby in Sept 2016 and took it on time every night at 9 pm. I occasionally would take it 15 minutes late or early, but pretty much always consistently. I definitely had the weird in-between period bleeding for a couple of months. Well, just when everything had been going perfectly for about 2 years. I'm now pregnant with my 6th kiddo."

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!)"

For Birth Control "I was previously on Lo Loestrin for three years because I cannot be on a pill that has a lot of estrogen. My insurance covered very little of it (it was costing me $120 a month), so my doctor prescribed Sharobel. I spotted for about a month when I first started taking it, and then didn't get my period for about three to four months. For the past two months, I have been spotting almost every day, some days actually seem like a full-blown period. It will stop for a day or two at most, and then I am spotting again. I haven't experienced any other negative effects, but with this birth control being less effective than others on top of the months of spotting, it is not the best option for me."

For Birth Control "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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I've been taking this birth control since April. I had regular periods, but they would last longer. In August, I was a little late and then spotted for almost 2 weeks off and on, but it was just really light. This month, I'm 6 days late and have only spotted a couple of times (brown like the start or end). Am I eventually not going to have a cycle and is this common?"

For Endometriosis "38 years old, started taking after Dr. said I most likely had endometriosis (always painful periods, then one day pain continued even while not on period). I also noticed I had signs of low progesterone and told him that as well (anxiety, horrible moods, losing hair, periods beginning almost immediately after ovulation). It took a while for my body to adjust, but within the 1st week, my pain was almost completely gone! I had spotting periodically for the 1st month or so, but physically I felt so much better I didn’t mind. My husband even commented on how much my mood has improved since taking this pill. I’m starting my 4th pack and my periods are so light, cramps barely there (I used to be in so much pain for a full week, it was exhausting just getting out of bed). I went 2 years in constant pain and anxiety, I really wish I was prescribed this sooner. My Dr. first prescribed a combo pill and it was awful for my mood, so I was hesitant to try, but I’m so thankful I did!!"

For Birth Control "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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I started taking this to lessen bleeding from my fibroid. I felt cramping and dizzy for the first time on birth control. While bleeding would be on pause for most of the day, episodes of extreme flooding (1 pt+ of blood) within 10 min intervals and extremely large clots (golf ball size and larger) would pass and could not be contained."

For Birth Control "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!"

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."
