Acne that I have never had before is out of control. I get a new break out every week and now have a few scars. The acne is not little zits, they are the painful pimples. I also experienced mood swings and felt like I was always unhappy. It decreased my sex drive as well. When I had my period after the 3 months, it was awful. Major cramping and 7 full days of bleeding. I am switching pills immediately.

I talked to my gyn about this birth control because I only wanted to have a period every 3 months. I am sad to say that it seems like I have been having a period everyday since I've started! The side effects: breakthrough bleeding and stomach cramps, I cannot take. I am switching to a normal BC

If you want to have constant PMS symptoms and get your period every day, instead of 4 times a year, this is the pill for you!!! It worked, when taken the correct way birth control is supposed to work, and if you're used to taking a daily pill this should be easy to use. However, the side effects are not to be taken lightly! -I've been bleeding every day for 6 weeks now. Some migh ... Show Full Comment

If you want to have constant PMS symptoms and get your period every day, instead of 4 times a year, this is the pill for you!!! It worked, when taken the correct way birth control is supposed to work, and if you're used to taking a daily pill this should be easy to use. However, the side effects are not to be taken lightly! -I've been bleeding every day for 6 weeks now. Some might say that is not a horrible thing, except that it happens when it wants, and wearing a pad or tampon every day for 6 weeks gets to be a little uncomfortable, not to mention an expensive habit. It's not light spotting either. -I've had horrible mood swings. I feel like a hormonal teenager all over again! It's like I'm PMSing all of the time. -And of course there is crazy bloating. So much so that it's noticeable by others. One day my skinny jeans will fit the next I want to wear my maternity jeans I'm so round in the middle. -Absolutely zero sex drive ZERO. I don't need birth control if I'm not having sex. -Cramping and back pain, like it's the first day of your period a few times a week. The doctor said that I should give it the whole 3 months, but nothing has gotten better-only worse, I will not be refilling the prescription.

While I feel confident this birth control is effective, I can't handle the side effects. I am only in my third week but have bled everyday for 21 days - every day being heavier than a normal cycle. I have mild-moderate stomach cramps daily. I have not gained weight but was swollen during my first week. I am miserable but may try to stick it out since I'm already 3 weeks in.

This birth control has terrible side effects. It made sex painful, made me extremely drowsy and tired all of the time, and drastically increased my appetite. It also caused a lot of spotting. Use a different pill.
