For Birth Control: Hello, I had this Liletta Birth Control inserted about a week ago, and so far I have been bleeding nonstop with only a few breaks in between. Cramps are very strong here and there, but manageable too. The insertion is painful but with deep breaths, you'll be fine. Intercourse is impossible at times because of the bleeding however, I got a break and tried it and my boyfriend couldn't feel the strings so that's a plus. But I'll keep you updated with this experience. |

For Birth Control: Originally started taking this pill for terrible cramps and pain during period. After 5 months, Slynd has reduced my period to only 3 days and the pain has decreased somewhat. I was pretty happy with the shorter period and less pain, but the acne is terrible. I had an absolutely clear face and back before taking this medication. Now my face and back are always covered in pimples. I cannot take it anymore I will be switching off of this pill. Just to note I did switch from tri-lo marzia to Slynd and tri-lo is much more effective with helping with acne but useless for cramps. I will be trying Yaz next... For Birth Control: I started the first pack of Slynd during my period and I had spotting after 2 weeks of the pack for about a week and then I got my period with the placebo pills, as expected for about 4 days. During my second pack I had about 4 days of spotting and some bleeding but then I skipped my period at the end of the 2nd pack (during the placebos) and then on the 3rd pack I didnt have any spotting or breakthrough bleeding until 2 days before the placebos of that pack. So I was clean for about 5 weeks straight, which was exciting. But now I am on my 4th pack and I had heavy breakthrough bleeding only a week after my period ended and I am still waiting for the spotting to stop a week later. The nurse at my gyno practice said it could take up to 6 months for my body to get used to the pill. It has been pretty concerning given that naturally my period cycle was very consistent and regular. I haven't had any other side effects from Slynd other than the irregular bleeding/spotting. |

For Birth Control: Getting it in was bad, but the entire MONTH after was the worst most painful experience of my life. Every single day was filled with crippling, knee buckling, tear inducing cramps throughout the days and nights. Once that month was over the cramping went down and the periods themselves slowly went away until I didn't have a period anymore. Within the last four years I remember things like: low libido, pain during sex, EXTREME pain after sex (great way to keep the morale up with your partner), gaining weight although I lead a somewhat active life and work on my feet, but the tipping point for me is the never ending growth of my breasts. I started as a 38B and I'm now up to a 36DD with those bras even beginning to be too small. I'm not the type to show my body off so the big breasts are just adding to my depression and anxiety (which might also be caused by the IUD?) and I'm willing to get off birth control and turn to condoms and ovulation tracking to feel like I own my body again.
