 5  birth control I have been on Demulen for 17 years and have no complaints. One added benefit other than birth control is the fact that you can pretty much know the time and day your period is going to start, length is shorter and flow is lighter. I have recently been told that they have discontinued Demulen and I am somewhat disappointed to have to change from something that has worked so well. F 38 17 years

 5  Cramps/Contraception Nausea the first few days of taking it. Excellent pill. Only one that agreed with me 100% & I've tried them all! Been on Demulen 30 on and off for 8 years. It would be my first choice of birth control pill. F 25 8 years

 5  PCOS I am taking the generic, Zovia 1/35. Initially had mild nausea, abdominal cramps, and spotting. All went away by the second month. No weight gain, breast tenderness, acne, etc. Unfortunately, low sex drive, which is my only complaint. F 29 4 months

 5  birth control No noticeable side effects, may get moody around period time, lighter periods(1-3 days), can miss periods up to 3 months in a row. I started taking Demulen 9 years ago. I never had any side effects, except noticing that a few days before my periods, I may get moody, depresss, but it only last about 2-3 days. No weight gain, clearer skin, don't feel any different, no babies! F 30 9 years

 5  Birth control Bloating when starting new pack Hi there. I wrote the 5th and 6th comments under this one. Anyway. It's been about 3 months or so and I am loving this pill. I love it because I don't even really realize I'm on it. I have only ONE side effect and that's the monthly bloating after the white pills. Other than that it's great. I seem to have lost a couple more pounds as well. Again, I have no clue if it's the pill or not but it very well could be. :) F 22 3 months

 5  contraceptive, acne, cramps weight loss(+), lighter periods(+) I was on this pill for 2 years and it was great, i lost weight, had little appetite, short 3-day light periods, was happy (took tri-cyclen and it made me so emotional), no more cramps, and my skin looked beautiful. I've been off for almost 2 years and am going back on it again - I seemed to have gained a bit of weight since being off of it. F 21 2 years

 5  birth control, acne, lighter period Some breast tenderness a week or two before period. I tried 6-7 other pills and had a lot of side effects before my Dr. prescribed Zovia. It works the best for me - I lost weight, lighter periods, better mood, less acne! I went off the pill after my husband had a vasectomy 6 mths. ago, but I'm getting back on it b/c I've been miserable since I stopped taking it. F 41 10 years

 5  Pregnancy prevention moodiness around time of period, reduced sex drive, sore breasts around time of period, some nauseousness at the beginning of a new pack...on the positive side: no children, the ability to predict my period to the day and time, little to no cramps, clear skin I have been on bc for 8 years and was put on Zovia after a pill I was taking put me (and everyone I was around) on an emotional roller coaster. My moods leveled out, and out of all the pills I've been on throughout the years this one had the least amount of side effects. F 26 3 years

 5  birth control No side effects ever in 6 years!! This was great for 6 years. It did take me about a year and a half to get pregnant after stopping this pill. I took the name brand, not the generic. Then after the birth of my son, I tried this again, however they had stopped making the name brand so I had to take the generic, zovia the second time around. It was horrible. It was not the same. I had to stop taking it after 2 weeks. F 32 6 years

 4  Acne/Pregnancy Prevention First four months on Zovia 1/35E it improved my mood swings, I gained weight, about 8 pounds, boobs increased about a cup size, I felt very bloated all the time. Acne got really bad up until the four month mark. Acne completely cleared with the ocassional pimple here & there near the end of my fourth month on the pill. Weight went back down a bit (about 5 pounds but I also exercise almost everyday) and I didnt really have much of a bloated feeling after that. And I have had no pregnancies on the pill. Everybody is different you have to give it time before it adjusts to your body. I almost stopped taking the pill on the fourth month until I saw it started clearing up my acne majorly. F 19 6 months

 4  heavy flow, cramps, moods I was on alese for 5 months and felt very sick and it didnt really help me with my moods around the time of the month. So I was switched to demulen and straight away I had no more moods but I have missed completly quite alot of my periods out of this year I think ive missed about 8 periods out of 12 and the others have been nothing but light spottting for less than 24 hours. Overall it has helped me alot but can also be quite confusing. F 18 14 months

 4  Birth control. Slight weight gain, bloating. This is the third bc pill I've been on in 2 years. All others have caused spotting in the 3rd week. I've only been on this one a month but so far so good. I quit smoking this month too so many of the side effects could be due to that -- headaches/bloating/crankiness. F 30 1 months
