Comparing Apri vs Junel Fe 1 / 20

For Birth Control Before Apri, I was on Natazia. Before Natazia, I was on Cyclafem. I gained 30lbs and so having the other BCs after it didn't make me gain or lose anymore weight. I also have high metabolism. NATAZIA: Periods came on time, were light, and the pill made it easy to not get pregnant even if I took it 5 hours ahead of the time I was supposed to take it. I was on it for 6 months. But it was too expensive APRI: It was alright, I was scared of the reviews, but I'm a different person so I shouldn't expect the same. My periods were heavier than Natazia. I had to stick to wearing regular tampons but a super on the first couple days. Later on, My periods got slightly heavier each time. 4 months later, it finally came on time, my periods stayed heavier but lasted 4 days this time. I'm most likely anemic so I experienced almost passing out on the last day of this period and cramped more on this BC. Talked to my doctor and I'm switching to another one.

For Birth Control Was put on this because of PCOS, did exactly what it was supposed to do. Got my period exactly every 28 days, no major side effects except for weight gain (part of which I blame for starting college at the same time). Didn't gain weight at first, then I gained 10-15lbs, and overall I gained 35-40lbs. It wasn't easy to lose the weight on this either, even with diet and regular exercise.

For Birth Control I have been-on this birth control (BC) for about 6 months. (I used to be on gildess but it has been discontinued from the factory and this one was perfect match). I feel like this BC has made my depression and anxiety worse. I still experience mild nausea. My face breaks out and they seem to stay there. I’m always emotional and agitated I get cramps but they are minimal. My periods are light but they are a brownish color. I’m going to stop it because I want to see if my depression gets better or maybe try a new birth control. I wish they would bring back gildess

For Birth Control This birth control is giving control and giving me horrible cramps. I am bloated and always tired, as well as depressed and anxious. I am so anxious and paranoid to the point I think I'm pregnant with the symptoms I'm getting.
