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'm conflicted. I was on Trinessa, but about 8mos ago was switched to this one. The first few months went smoothly -- I've had much better skin than before and I haven't had significant weight changes, stomach problems or mood changes, and I remain blissfully Not Pregnant. However... the "spotting." I guess taking my ability to have sex outside of a shower is a kind of birth control. At first I thought this was just a matter of adjusting and it would be gone in a few months. Nope. This keeps happening, despite taking it religiously at 11am every day. Every month or two the bleeding starts in the 2nd week of my pack and rarely stops until the end of week 4. It's not always light spotting either. Today I'm a stuck pig, tomorrow I might only produce a few drops. I'm already an underweight person with a family history of anemia. I have no idea what losing this amount of blood regularly could be doing to my health and can't afford to go back to the doctor for advice. For Birth Control: I had a baby girl 6 months ago and I started this about 2 months ago and at first was doing great with it, but then after about 2 weeks of taking it have really noticed some not so great changes in me. My chin is constantly breaking out, so it did not help clear up the acne. I have really had some bad mood swings of just feeling really sad and my anxiety has been pretty bad. It has really messed with my sleeping patterns. I also gained about 16 lbs from the time I started taking this pill until now. I wear contacts and it really seems to dry my eyes out and make my vision a little blurry, which I haven't really had much trouble with before. I am seeing my doctor soon and we are planning on switching me to another birth control pill. |

For Birth Control: Started Errin due to migraines from combination pills. Errin gave me cystic acne that does not respond to any treatment which is very annoying but I’m dealing with it because this is the only BC I can tolerate. Starting in May I had a period at the beginning of the month, and end of the month, both 5 days long. (Pretty normal) No period the whole month of July or August, then 2 in September. One lasting 5 days and the other lasting 8. No period in October, and one in November. They consist of heavy clotting and very dark blood. The cramps are very uncomfortable. I also have constant breakthrough spotting which is enough to fill liners. Very inconvenient but this is what I’ll continue with.
