I took this birth control because of breastfeeding my young one. I didn't have a period for 9 months, which was nice. Then I had 4 in 1 month. Seriously back to back, one would end and then 2 days later another one would start. Do not recommend. I would much rather have regular periods once a month than have that many so close. What a pain!

I starting taking shorabel shortly after my pregnancy to prevent another pregnancy from happening Iâ??m still on it, itâ??s been one year and I am not happy with it but I kept taking it for obvious reasons and I didnâ??t want to switch b/c I did not want it to mess with anything else. My pre baby weight was 140 and Iâ??m 5.1â? I weighed 170 at the 9 month mark, my weight never fluctuated so much as it does now always weighted 130-140 also my period was always on the spot 28 day cycle, my mood was never fluctuating from cranky to happy to emotional! I noticed at about the 2-3 month mark that I was not loosing my baby weight as I should have even though I was breast feeding and eating healthy my mood was good but horrible acne something I never had. I stopped breast feeding at 6 months and holly cow did I started gaining weight like a cow! My baby is now 1 year old and Iâ??m back to my nine month pregnancy weight!!!!! I eat clean no much of a sweets person, we go for walks! Iâ??m happy that the one year mark has come to stop on the birth control also it was my first time taking birth control ever so itâ??s something I will go off of. Mood swings like crazy! Periods back to back or non existent ( I have an alarm for it so I take it everyday at 3:30) horrible acne! And weight gain is a big ol B! Why did I keep taking because Im still a happy person inside no matter my appearance and I didnâ??t want to go haywire by switching I figured my body was used to it and I was at 6 months post pregnancy I said 4 more months and Iâ??m done!

I have been on birth control pills for almost 20 years. This is the first pill I've ever been on that has made me gain an incredible amount of weight! I have gained 20 pounds in 4 months! My periods are very irregular on this medication; my cramps are back; mood swings are back; I'm fat; I have no energy; and I get headaches all the time. I hate this medication.

My periods are very irregular on this medication; my cramps are back; mood swings are back; I'm fat; I have no energy; and I get headaches all the time. I hate this medication. I never should have switched but the doctor I saw at Planned Parenthood thought I should be on a progestin-only pill due to my age (35, never a smoker). My regular gynecologist thought this was insane but kept me on it. I'm switching as soon as I make another appointment.
