Comparing Liletta vs Xulane

For Birth Control Got liletta on 10/13/16 and so far so good. Before it I couldn't have sex without pain and now my sex life has never been better. I had cramping the day I got it but it was gone the next morning. I did also have spotting the day of and that has gone as well. I will update in a couple of weeks but so far so good.

For Birth Control Got my Liletta at Planned Parenthood in early December 2016. I'm 22, never been pregnant or had a pap before. My doctors were very nice and the procedure wasn't that bad. They even gave me a heat pack to put on my tummy. It was uncomfortable and the insertion felt like a really bad cramp for a second or two but nothing I couldn't handle. Afterward, I bled constantly for 30+ days, heavy at first but then a medium-light flow. After that I didn't get my period for about 3 months. Then it returned but it's now VERY light but WAY longer, about 10-14 days when it used to be 5-7. During my periods I now don't have cramps, but a couple of days before I get horribly painful random cramps that last 10-60ish seconds. Still not Prego though.

For Birth Control I started Xulane about a year ago and while it did it’s job for the birth control aspect of it, it made me suffer in my relationship as I NEVER wanted to have sex. My libido was shot and my bodies natural lubrication system was gone. The thought of sex to me was appalling which is a complete 180 of what I was like. If I wasn’t in a relationship then I guess that would be okay but I am and we suffered because of that. I have been off Xulane for 2 weeks and feel so much better. It caused me to have constant mood swings and just never feel “right” I am switching back to the pill as it has less hormones and hopefully things will get better from here on out. I gave it a decent rating as it does prevent pregnancy (if you ever want to have sex lol)

For Birth Control Started/switched to the patch in Feb 2017 @ 229lbs after giving the nuva ring. Slight itching at patch site (buttocks), noticeable mood swings, and came off one time. Menstruation consistent, took patch off Sunday, the end of wk3 and by Wednesday menstrual period arrived. No spotting in between. I stared a weight loss program and lost 13lbs in one month (June 2017). On Monday of wk 3 I started spotting (20days post last period) and it was consisted at every use of the bathroom. Only panty liner needed. Called Gyn said its normal, weight loss triggers hormonal changes and to use the patch as usual. Wk 4 no period. new patch cycle. Skin itching insanely! Patch site swelled up as if i was branded. Wk 6 prego w/ #5! 200lbs less effective says label.
