I switched to Lo Ovral after taking Yasmin for nearly a year. On Yasmin I was having terrible mood swings and 2 week depressions every month. It was affecting my relationships with everyone and I finally realized that I was not going crazy and it was just the Yasmin. I've been on Lo Ovral for at least a year now and so far I've had no complaints except that in the past 3 or 4 months ive no ... Show Full Comment

I've been on Lo Ovral for at least a year now and so far I've had no complaints except that in the past 3 or 4 months ive noticed that I've been breaking out at the same time every month and I don't think the break outs are from any thing else, plus I've been spotting a little bit for the past 2 months. I don't know why it would suddenly start disagreeing with me, but I may try switching to something else.

So I had been taking lo ovral for 11 days when I was sitting at my computer at work and I started seeing little spots of light I couldn't focus on anything, then I saw squiggly lines around my eyem turns out it was a classic migrane u get the headache afterm it really scarred me so I looked up the side effects of lo ovral and sure enough that was a possible side effect!!!! Definetly going back on the other pill!

I feel like I haven't taken it long enough for my review to be worth anything, but I'd first like to point out to anyone reading this that all women who take bc have to keep in mind that birth control isn't just composed of hormones that suppress the ability to conceive.

I feel like I haven't taken it long enough for my review to be worth anything, but I'd first like to point out to anyone reading this that all women who take bc have to keep in mind that birth control isn't just composed of hormones that suppress the ability to conceive. There are other "filler" elements, and these can vary from brand to brand. The side effects of ingesting these fillers can also vary from person to person. So don't just take someone's word for it; if it doesn't work for someone else, that doesn't mean it's not going to work for you. Trial and error. And ASK YOUR DOCTOR FOR ADVICE. It's what they're there for. I was on Ocella for about a year, then stopped birth control all together for about a year (because I joined the military), and am now resuming contraceptives by taking Lo Ovral 28. So far, I haven't stopped bleeding from my period that was supposed to stop last week, but it's not heavy. Haven't noticed any weight gain, or unusual mood swings, cramping, headaches, etc. I just want the bleeding to stop. However, it's only my first pack so I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt before I try to switch back to Ocella.

I have been on this pill for over 15 years and I've never had a problem. The clinic I was going to stopped carrying it and I was switched to Levora and I've had nothing but issues including a VERY decreased sex drive. I'm coming back to this pill before Levora ruins my relationship.
