TriNessa Compared to Alternatives

For Birth Control: So I've been on Tri-Nessa for almost 2 months,and each time i start a new pack i get bad stomach pains and then on week 2 everything is back to normal. Since I've been on it i vomited twice and anytime i eat something my stomach feels empty, even though i ate a lot. My periods have been coming on time and my face is clearing. My only problem is the bad stomach pains.

For Birth Control: Been on Tri-Nessa for almost 3 years now, and in the beginning my mood swings and depression were all over the place. In the beginning, my periods were lighter and I was in less pain but it now it seems to have switched to more heavy periods and more painful currently. Yes, my skin is clearer but I’ve developed hyperpigmentation (melasma) on my cheeks from using Tri-Nessa and the hormones.

For Amenorrhea: It does what it's supposed to, at least for me it did. I'm prescribed to take 10 days of 100mg Provera every night before bed every 60 days (or every two months I don't have a cycle). It makes me feel awful though. The first month I was prescribed Provera I took all 10 pills. I'm on the smaller side and I really think 100mg is just too much for my body. I have horrific constipation & gas after about 2 days on it, absolutely zero energy, and my face tends to breakout (only 1-2 small, it's always clear otherwise), it also makes me starving 24/7. It works though.

For Amenorrhea: I was prescribed Provera (10 mg/ 10 days) due to not having a period for several years and so my husband and I can have a baby. Works like a charm. Started period 4 days after taking last pill. 1st day was mild flow and all subsequent days were extremely heavy. It's now day 6 of having a period, which is not normal for me even when I had periods, and continue to have extremely heavy flow. I will be calling my doctors office today as I do not want this to continue. The upside is I did not experience any side effects while taking the medicine.

For Birth Control: It’s been exactly a week and a day since I gotten my Mirena. I was so terrified because I was told the procedure would hurt. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it’d be. So far I’ve had light spotting, my NP told me it’s be expected. She also told me to expect cramping off and on at least for 6 months as well as the spotting. It’s been good thus far.

For Birth Control: I just got my IUD and went it expecting it to hurt but also assuming most comments may have been over exaggerated. I cannot explain the amount of pain the insertion process was. I thought it would be less than my expectations but it surely surpassed all of them. I would rate the pain 9/10 since it was the most painful experience in my life. However, it was extremely fast and the whole procedure took less than 2 mins. Would I do it again ? Ask me in a few weeks but right not the answer is NO. I felt a wave of intense cramps (uncomfortable but fine) and then a stabbing and sensation that caused me to scream and cry in pain. After my appointment I didn’t have bad cramps at all and went on with my day. Note: I have not given birth before. I was not on my period. I took 3 aleve before but this did not help.
