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 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.
