| 1 | Brith Control | I have only been on it for 2 days, and I have severe cramps on my left side that make it hard for me to even walk. I have a call into my Gyno to ask if I can just stop taking it or if doing that will make things worse. I have NEVER had pain like this before. | F | 29 | 2 days | 6/12/2007 | 1 | extreme depression, instant weight gain, acne, bloating, wanting to cry for no reason, terrible mood swings, no desire to do anything, etc... | this is absolutely awful- do not take it! | F | 20 | 2 days | 9/25/2007 | 1 | numbness on left side went to ER was admitted overnight- had a whole bunch of tests all negative. Having trouble sleeping and now I have pains in various areas of body- as a result severe anxiety now (panic attacks almost daily) | F | 37 | 2 days | 8/1/2006 | 1 | Change from Nuvaring | Strong headaches, long and heavy period the first month. No period the second month. Extreme hair loss. | do not like not having a period and freak out thinking about pregnancy even with negative tests. | F | 32 | 2 days | 2/12/2008 | 4 | birth control, regulate periods | light period or no period | only side effect I have noticed is very light period or no period at all. slight break through bleading few times, but otherwise no more symptoms than other low hormone bc pills | F | 26 | 1.5 days | 3/13/2007 | 5 | to help with my mood swings | I was on Triphasil 28 then switched to ortho tricyln. And have recently been on microgestin fe 1.5 for a year. Switched due to mood swings. I no longer have mood swings and my periods are shorter and lighter. That's a + for me. | F | 35 | 1 days | 9/13/2005 | 5 | 1 days | 3/10/2012 | 5 | birth control | headache | I've been on Loestrin for a year now and my doctor has switched me to Microgestin. I'm a little weary to make the switch. Loestrin has worked so well for me. I love the 2-3 day period and I rarely feel bloated. I'm worried about the Microgestin giving me a longer period since there are not as many active pills as the Loestrin. Has anyone else made this switch and how's it been? | F | 23 | 1 days | 3/2/2007 | 5 | to prevent un wanted pregnancy | just started taking pills today a bit worried of all the side effects that i read from the doctor office | i took birth control pills about 5 yrs ago and really didnt know that i had to take the pill the same time everyday and because i took it at different times it made me bleed for about a month straight then i went on the patch which was great for me no side effects at all just slipped off sometimes no pregnancy no anything else been using a condom since my son was born 2 yrs ago so just trying something different hopefully the only side effect is breast enlarging good luck to everyone else also please make sure you are taking the pill the same time everyday may stop the bleeding or spotting | F | 23 | 1 days | 6/19/2007 | 5 | pregnancy prevention | honestly none- I was so worried and read all of these exact horror reviews. first pill I've ever taken and I love it. I haven't gained any weight, my skin is clear, and moods seem to be normal. my boobs did get bigger but no weight gain. also, my acne got a little worse when I first started but disappeared after like 2 months. | F | 19 | 1 days | 2/18/2014 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | I actually love this pill. I had not been on birth control for a year prior to starting this. Before starting the pill I had was experiencing fatigue that made it hard to get through the days, and crazy PMS. After the first week on the pill my energy levels increased significantly! No more mood swings either :)- no sure if this means I had low levels of estrogen to account for lack of energy? | F | 31 | 1 days | 2/21/2014 | 4 | lighter period, prenancy prevention | My appetite increased slightly,slight weight gain, bloating, the normal side effects associated with taking the pill. | I have taken Ortho LO, Ortho, Yaz, Yasmine, Mictrate, all in whish didn't work for me. I have been taking the pill for 7years, with all the other pills i was depressesed, low libdo, fatigued,irregular periods, increase in weight. I've been on Lostrin one month and I got a little worried about not have a heavy period, but after consulting with my doctor she said it was normal. No complaints, I drink 3liters of water and take a water pills to lower my water retention, I suggest the same for someone experiencing water issues. My libdo is also back! Workout, eat healthy and there be fewer issues with mood, weight, libdo. | M | 24 | 1 days | 4/27/2009 | 4 | prevent pregnancy | occassional nausea, lower back pain, weight gain, and less sexual drive, but lighter periods(1 day), slightly bigger breasts, and clearer skin. | the negative side effects equal the positive side effects for me, but i do worry about missing my period since they are so light. the first few months, i felt every side effect moreso than i do now. now i get these side effects just every now and again, from month to month. | F | 22 | 1 days | 7/23/2007 | 4 | for heavy periods and cramping | my skin has cleared up, i have lost weight, and i have more engery. i still have a little break through bleeding between periods, i havenet taken birth control for almost 20 years and i was a little scared, i am doing fine and i love the whole weight loss thing, i find my appitite almost gone. | F | 39 | 1 days | 12/8/2007 | 4 | for heavy periods and cramps | only been on it a day so im hopin i dnt get any | F | 14 | 1 days | 5/26/2006 | 4 | for heavy periods and cramps | only been on it a day so im hopin i dnt get any | F | 14 | 1 days | 5/26/2006 | 3 | regulate period and protection | I have just started loestrin fe and i am somewhat nervous about the side effects. I am worried it will make me feel like im going crazy and that i will gain weight. | please give me additional feedback about this pill. | F | 20 | 1 days | 4/1/2007 | 3 | prevent pregnancy, regulate period | Insomnia!! Exactly between 2-3am I would wake up for NO reason at all! Tonight, even though I stopped anything caffeinated after 12pm and took a benedryl before bed, sure enough, like clockwork, I'm up at 2. I finally made the correlation between my bouts of insomnia and the pill cause right around the same time taking it, I started having sleep issues. And I've never had sleeping problems ever. I've also been experiencing vaginal dryness too! After one episode of sex, it was so painful I couldn't do much the next day. It even hurt to urinate. Lastly, my poor boyfriend has been getting the grunt of my mood swings. I am a fairly outgoing person but since I've been on this pill, I've been much more withdrawn and really don't want to be around people at all. Ironically enough, I came to this conclusion tonight while tossing and turning...as I have been for two months now! | F | 30 | 1 days | 3/12/2013 | 2 | depression | SEVERE nausea and vomiting about 5 hours after I took it (at night) Headache, bad headache. | I'll try it for one more day, but I will have to figure out which foods will taste good coming back up... | F | 26 | 1 days | 9/7/2006 | 2 | Period pains to bad. | Just started today. My stomach is murdering me literally. The pain in both my thighs is unimaginable. I can't walk, i can't move. I've been moody all day. This pain is worse than my period pains have been. I have been wishing to die all morning. I am stopping immediately. | F | 15 | 1 days | 12/30/2011 |
