    This birth control has been...the worst. Truly. My doctor put me on it after being on Lo Loestrin Fe for about a year. Lo Loestrin Fe worked well for the majority of the time I was on it, until it was clear I needed to be on a higher dose to manage my symptoms of endometriosis.

    I stopped having monthly migraines around menstruation. No more clots the size of my hand. No more aching all day. Sex became a pleasure again. No pain afterwards.

    When I first began taking Amethyst, I had a lot of nausea in the mornings, but that went away after two weeks. It works really well as long as I remember to take it regularly. It has drastically decreased my pains from endometriosis and all of my periods have been very light, and spread apart. I generally don't have a period at all as long as I take my pills.
