Comment:
I've been taking Previfem for about 7 months. The first two months I was maybe a little bloated and nauseous but since then, I've had no side effects. I haven't gained weight on this pill, unlike other birth controls that I've tried and I actually feel like I've had less cramping/lighter and shorter periods. Love it!

I have taken previfem for 1 year now. This is the first pill I have tried and overall it is good but I think I will be switching.

I was on Previfem for a year. I was pretty satisfied with it. I have struggled with my weight my whole life. My boyfriend & I talked about me getting off of the pill to see if perhaps it was causing me to gain weight, seeing as how my diet and exercise routines didn't seem to be working quite as well as I thought.

I have been on Previfem for 3 months now. Pros: has shortened my periods from 7 days to 5 days. Cons: slight nausea after taking the pill first 2 months, which was not too bad since I would take it later in the evenings. But it has started to wear off. Other than the nausea, I think Previfem works great as a pill form for birth control.
