For Birth Control: I started taking Errin over one year ago when my doctor recommended for me to get off the combination pill because of migraines my age, and high blood pressure. All I know is that since I’ve been on it I’ve gained 10 to 15 pounds, that I cannot lose. I work out I eat right more than I ever did before I don’t know if the pill is contributing to it. Also have mood swings I normally do not get my period but though last month I got one and it was pretty heavy I do get the breast tenderness so I’m not sure if I want to stay on it or not the weight gain is what’s really bothering me

For Birth Control: I am 5 months postpartum. I’ve been taking Errin for 3 months now for BC & Endometriosis. I feel like it doesn’t cause me mood swings. It does make me feel very nauseous and super dizzy all the time. I keep thinking I’m pregnant and buying tests only for them to say negative. That’s my only complaint. But glad I’m not pregnant.

For Birth Control: In the past 5 years, I have been on two different birth control pills. I decided to switch to Junel Fe because the other pill wasn’t helping with my period. This pill, however, was a huge mistake. I have been on it for a short time but it has made me extremely depressed. I have never has mental health issues in the past, and as soon as I started taking this pill I noticed huge mood swings. I cry all the time, and I am extremely emotional. I would not recommend this to anyone.

4 / 10

For Birth Control: I'M on day 19 of breakthrough bleeding. My doctor said to double up until the bleeding stops and I’m on day 5 of doubling up with no stopping. No other side effects other than the bleeding won’t go away
