For Birth Control This birth control is terrible. I've never had acne before in my life, and now after taking this for almost 2 months I have acne on my entire face, and also on my back. I have also gained 6 pounds, and this pill effects me emotionally very much. Since taking this pill I now have bad social anxiety, and constantly find myself tearing up for no reason at all. I am genuinely a happy person, and this birth control constantly has me feeling anxious or sad. Only positive of this is it has prevented pregnancy like it's main purpose. I am now switching to a new brand.

For Birth Control Blisovi Fe 1/20 is effective so I didn’t get pregnant the year I’ve been on this BUT I was lil scared when I got my period early the third month on it and then never got my period again for the rest of the year taking this pill. My gyno reassured me that this is completely ok but when it was going on I felt immense paranoia and anxiety for about two months and was convinced I was pregnant. I feel like some people blame all of their problems on their birth control so I just want to say it was an ok experience, although I did also go through mood swings about 6 months in and we thought I was bi-polar. I never really thought that my birth control contributed to this until my yearly appointment with my gyno and he told me it was all normal and all side-effects.

For Birth Control I started this pill to alleviate migraines and prevent pregnancy. Overall, my experience with this pill has been wonderful from day one. I don't have any breakouts, no migraines, no weight gain, and I haven't gotten my period once in the seven months I've been on it. The downside: I'm overly emotional. I will cry over a commercial, now. And I'm paranoid all the time of being pregnant.
