First year on this birthcontrol was great. Mild symptoms like spotting and bloating once in a while. And after a year it all went down hill. Constant migranes, weight gain, fatigue, zero sex drive. I had my blood pressure monitored, and it turbed out to be higher then normal. I desided to stop the pill, had some sort of withdrawal symptoms. 2 weeks later i was feeling great!

First year on this birthcontrol was great. Mild symptoms like spotting and bloating once in a while. And after a year it all went down hill. Constant migranes, weight gain, fatigue, zero sex drive. I had my blood pressure monitored, and it turbed out to be higher then normal. I desided to stop the pill, had some sort of withdrawal symptoms. 2 weeks later i was feeling great! No more blood pressure, fog, migranes or bloating. If birth control makes your body think its pregnan, maby its not normal to hormonaly immitate it for longer than 9 months. Afterall birthcontroll sideffects are the typical symptoms/complications of a pregnancy.

I had a love hate relationship with this birth control. I started using it once my boyfriend and I got more serious. The first two weeks were a little hard, my body trying to get use to the changes, I had some cramps. Then, not even a month after taking it, my acne started clearing up!

I had a love hate relationship with this birth control. I started using it once my boyfriend and I got more serious. The first two weeks were a little hard, my body trying to get use to the changes, I had some cramps. Then, not even a month after taking it, my acne started clearing up! I never had acne problems, besides the occasional stress related zit. My cramps while on my period got a lot worse. I never had bad cramps before, I never understood women complaining about cramps, until I got on this. Another thing I never use to have before taking this was yeast infections. But every month I got one, they're horribly annoying. I finally made the decision to change my birth control. I know everyone's body is different, this was just MY result when taking it for a year.

I switched from a Trinessa brith control, where my emotions were becoming too much for me to handle. While my emotions are slightly better, I am still so moody and will cry or get angry for no reason. I'm depressed and still feel everywhere.

I'm still not feeling like myself and will be looking to switch again to another brith control. My periods have been regular, my only complaint is that while before I hardly got cramps, I now am getting some before my period. While they might be mild for some, it is painful for me to handle.

I have been taking this pill for over 2 years and have been dealing with side effects for over a year now. I'm a very healthy concious person and work out four times a week. I've not been able to lose weight and feel bloated most of the time. I'm 25 and still experience acne (painful cystic acne around the time of my period).

I have been taking this pill for over 2 years and have been dealing with side effects for over a year now. I'm a very healthy concious person and work out four times a week. I've not been able to lose weight and feel bloated most of the time. I'm 25 and still experience acne (painful cystic acne around the time of my period). I have a low sex drive and have been feeling more moody lately (which is not normal for me). I also experience breast tenderness and painful cramps around my period time. This pill didn't bother me but if a birth control pill can help with these side effects why not switch to something better suited for me? After lots of research and talking to my doctor, I'm deciding to switch to something that contains a lower amount of estrogen. Many of the side effects I experienced are symptoms of high levels of estrogen. Please remember every pill effects every woman differently and it's important to give a new pill at least three cycles! If this pill didn't work for someone else that doesn't mean it won't work for you, every body is different :)
