I was so excited when my Dr. prescribed me with Lybrel. She told me I would only have 1 period a year. Little did I know, it would be one period all year round. I was on it for 4 months and after the first month I had continuous spotting every day. I am very unhappy with it and I do not recommend it to anyone.

I have been on Lybrel for over a year now and have had only problems with it. I may not be pregnant, but I still have my periods and they get worse every month. I've been on it for a month straight now and the cramps and bleeding is worse now than it ever has been. I dont suggest using it.

The only thing is that you do have to take it every day, do not skip a day. But over all this has been the best birth control that i have been on.

Despite lots of negative reviews, in December I decided to give Lybrel a try. I have used Loestrin in the same way in the past -- merely skipping the placebos and staring a new pack early. Perhaps it is because of this, but I have had absolutely NO spotting or breakthrough bleeding. I've been very, very happy with Lybrel.

True, Lybrel was easy to take and I didn't get pregnant but that's the only positive thing I have to say. I've been taking this Rx for over 6 months and I kept thinking the heavy discharge and bleeding would go away. No such luck and then when I call my ob/gyn, they tell me people aren't doing well on it. Couldn't they have told me that in the beginning?
