| 1 | Ivf | Extreme leg and feet pain/cramps, very tender breast, fatigue, panic attacks, mild nausea, mood changes. | This pill caused me symptoms from day one. The leg and feet pain/cramping were most alarming as those are signs of clots. Got checked, they say mo clots but the pain is STILL there. Somedays so severe it hurts to walk.

Not to mention I look bloated and I've probably gained close to 3-5 pounds this week because I eat everything in sight! Before the pill I was the girl who could eat breakfast before school and lunch at school and not even been hungry during dinner time but this week all I have wanted to do is eat and it's ridiculous!!! I really don't think I want to keep taking this If things are still like this a month from now. & not to mention the reviews are just terrible!! | F | 16 | 7 days 1/35 | 10/16/2015 | 1 | decrease/stop heavy periods | Bloating, headaches,irritability, increase moisture in vaginal area and vaginal irritation everyday! | Today will be my last day!

Only been on this medication 7 days and I started irregularly bleeding day 5 and severe abdominal pain the second day being on it! | F | 20 | 7 days | 9/15/2012 | 1 | birth control, menstrual cramps | Started with ortho tricyclen lo when i was 21 and was doing okay. My cramps eased up for about 6 months and I gained about 15 pounds. Then cramps came back really bad so I was switched to ortho novum to see if it would work. I've been on it for a year and in the last two years had a brain mri, bloodwork, took anti-depressants and ended up in the hospital after 5 days, went to a psychiatrist and a psychologist, an ear nose & throat specialist for balance, and way more. I never put the two together and I figured just today that my severe anxiety and depression started a little after i started my birth control. Today is Day 1 that I have stopped taking it. Hopefully I'm back to my old self again soon because I've never felt worse! I feel like I'm living my life like a chore and Im having no fun because I'm always nervous so I stay hope, no motivation. My mood swings are terrible, I cry all the time, I constantly thought about not being alive and I dont know how my bf, friends, and fa | Please contact me if you have any tips, suggestions, or questions!!!!! | F | 24 | 1 years 1X day | 4/2/2012 | 1 | Irregular periods | I found that it made me very sad, and I started to worry about everything. Made both legs hurt and made insides of my body hurt?? My husband said it was like I was in a shell, not like me at ALL!!!! I'm going back to ortho cyclen ASAP did it make anyone else just hurt??? | F | 30 | 10 days 1/35-28 | 2/28/2012 | 1 | pregnancy prevention | Depression, chest pressure,stomach discomfort, nausea, dryness, low sex drive, and acne to top it off. I never experienced this many symptoms with any other pill. | F | 31 | 6 months | 1/24/2012 | 1 | Breakthrough bleeding,painful perio | nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, constant bleeding, constant cramps, vaginal dryness, depression | Absolutely the worst BC I have ever been on!!!!! I have had painful, irregular periods and cysts for most of my life. I was on Yaz and had breakthrough bleeding and so my Doc switched me to this pill. I have never had such a severe reaction to a pill in my life. It made every issue I ever experienced increase 100%. I bleed constantly, I have severe cramps almost the entire 28 days. I can't enjoy intercourse because I am constantly worried about bleeding (which happens almost every time) I experience anxiety and shortness of breath, especially in the mornings. I feel like a monster on this. It makes me feel like I am losing my mind. I am switching to Loestrin as soon as I finish my last week on this pill. Terrible experience. | F | 30 | 5 days .035 1X day | 1/12/2012 | 1 | birth control | Weight loss, ibs, no period | 16 | 2 months 1X day | 12/6/2011 | 1 | -depression -breast tenderness -fatigue -nausea/dizziness | this drug sucks. it made me sick and depressed. i noticed the change almost immediately. | F | 24 | 3 weeks 1X day | 3/19/2011 | 1 | Birth Control | 20 lb weight gain in 2 months. Moodiness, headaches, depression, uterine fibroids have grown out of control. Break through bleeding..heavy bleeding when i stop taking them. This pill is dangerous DO NOT TAKE IT | Horrific weight gain and in month 3 large mass in my lower abdomen was felt. Found out it was uterine fibroids. Now my uterus is covered with them and this pill is feeding them. One has grown so large it the size of a cantelope. I am now having a hysterectomy to get rid of my painful fibroids. I went from a size 4 to a size 12 as a result and am rapidly growing...it's awful | F | 38 | 6 months 35 1X day | 12/9/2010 | 1 | prevent pregnancy | stomach cramps, moodiness, anxiety, depression, amenorrhea, loss of libido | Since beginning BC pills at 21, I have noticed an increase in instances of feeling VERY anxious, VERY depressed and very tired. Before BC, I could run all day working on my feet, not anymore. I've gained a lot of weight (losing now luckily)my periods are becoming increasingly irregular and unpredictable, sometimes stopping altogether. I have no energy and feel like I could sleep all day long. Since beginning HBC, my sex drive has taken a nose dive and I even got to the point where all of this "craziness" seriously affected my marriage. Specifically on this pill I have experienced EXTREME cramping and stomach trouble (can't stop going #2) right before and during my period. I literally feel like I'm dying, it wakes me up in the middle of the night and when I have to go, I better be somewhere close that I can. I also notice an increase of large pimples on my underarms and inner thighs just before my period. I am going OFF of hormonal BC altogether. I highly suggest you STAY AWAY unless you REALLY need to take this for a hormonal imbalance. | F | 28 | 4 months 1X day | 8/16/2010 |
