21 years old. Started using this BC right before I turned 20 and have never had an issue. I have had lighter periods and have not fainted or had cramps since being on the pill. Haven't gained weight. Super effective with no side effects.

I have been taking Pimtrea for about a month in replacement of Kariva and I'm not pleased. My period has been on for four weeks and my acne has definitely gotten worst. I look and feel bloated and have gained weight around my stomach. The bleeding is pretty heavy and It seems to not let up. I start my second pack in 2 days, so hopefully it will get better or I will switch my birth control.

My doctor prescribed this bc to me because I had taken a bc in the past that made me experience severe breakthrough bleeding and I simply can not handle that. Also, worried about gaining weight. So far, I have been pretty satisfied - I have had an increase in discharge and it can be slightly pink tinted in nature but I'll deal with that over bleeding any day. I might be slightly more moody but ... Show Full Comment

Have just about finished my first pack of this bc. I have definitely experienced a wide variety of symptoms, starting with acne. I used to get terrible acne and about a month before starting this bc I had finally cleared it up, after starting this bc the quality of my skin is spiraling out of control again... not to fun. Secondly I have gained about 5-7 lbs this first month on it... I am naturally ... Show Full Comment

Have just about finished my first pack of this bc. I have definitely experienced a wide variety of symptoms, starting with acne. I used to get terrible acne and about a month before starting this bc I had finally cleared it up, after starting this bc the quality of my skin is spiraling out of control again... not to fun. Secondly I have gained about 5-7 lbs this first month on it... I am naturally too skinny and needed to gain weight but the type of weight I have gained feels puffy bloated and icky. I feel as if the pms bloat has lasted this entire month, I'm hoping it's water retention and will go away... I work out extremely heavily I'm a professional dancer and dance instructor so the weight gain has been entirely from this birth control.... the only upside of this birth control so far has been my BOOBS they are HUGE!! I went from a full A cup to nearly a C in just one month.... they are full and perky, but hurt like HELL. Lastly I have experienced a lot of moodiness and irritability, I have been under a lot of stress (normally could handle it no problem) but I have noticed since starting this bc that my patience and attention span to deal with stress has dwindled. I'm grumpy and bitchy and I don't like it, on top of feeling like a puffy marshmallow.... needless to say I am going to switch to a different bc this week on the first day of a new pack hopefully will have better luck with the next one.

Was given Pimtrea this month in place of Kariva from my pharmacy and so far no issues or side effects. Didn't expect any due to the fact its the same prescription with a different name and appearance . Will continue to use this prescription
