| 5 | | 10/22/2004 | 5 | F | | 6/1/2005 | 4 | | 7/21/2005 | 2 | birth control, control heavy period | I Left a comment and somehow I put I was on it for 2 days I was on it for 2 years. | 2 years | 3/21/2007 | 1 | birth control | none | didn't do a thing | M | 1 days | 2/7/2007 | 3 | Regulation | at first very sick, but after a few weeks it went away. | i haven't had a period since i have started it, which is very odd. | F | 16 | 2 months | 5/29/2008 | 5 | Birth control, period, cramps | gained a couple pounds nothing to serious. | it works great. shortens periods to 3-4 days | F | 17 | 1 years 30 1X day | 1/29/2011 | 5 | Regualte Cycles | I only had nausea the first day of starting the pill. Clears up acne and gave my skin a glow. Also I had a decrease in appetite which was fine for me since I was dieting. No change in sex drive, stopped me from getting pregnant. Reduced Cycle to 3 days and I had no cramps, pain or mood swings. | F | 17 | 2 years | 3/5/2012 | 4 | prevent pregnacy, regulate periods | Umm...So far...It was good...until now.I only have 2 pills left this month and I still havent started my period. Maybe ill be like one said and have a 1-2 day cycle. I take my pills regulary, and on time. So i hope I am not pregnant. I have had an extremely low sex drive...and my boyfriend blames it on my mental state. Also I have experienced painful cramps (as i have always done without the pills), and heavily bleeding at first. Obviously Not anymore. | I would suggest you find birth control that works for you. Some birth control makes you sick, or have extreme spotting. Others work just fine. But So far so good. | F | 17 | 2 months | 5/10/2007 | 5 | prevent pregnancy | i havent experienced any side effects. Periods are so much lighter with no cramps. I love it. | I recommend taking it. | F | 18 | 2 months | 3/15/2009 | 5 | Birth Control Purposes | None. Maybe weak eyesight but I don't know if it's related. I just noticed the problem the same time I started taking the pill. | I was on Estrostep which made me a complete moody bitch. I cried for no reason and gained over 10lbs. My dad stopped my health insurance so I went to the health clinic to get pills and they put me on Ortho Novum 777. I've been on it for about 3 weeks so far and I'm completely happy with it. | F | 18 | 3 weeks | 9/12/2006 | 4 | When I first started the pill I experience pretty bad nausea, but only for about 5-7 days while my body got used to it. | F | 18 | 3 years | 9/4/2012 | 3 | to prevent pregnancy | at first, ortho novum 7-7-7 was working great for me. but then i ran out of pills, and was refused more pills by family planning for a week. after i got back on them, i've experienced heavy bloating and gas on almost a nightly basis, i've gained 10 pounds, and i'm more prone to sadness and depression. | F | 18 | 5 months | 8/4/2009 | 2 | Protect from pregnancy | Extreme anxiety, nauseous all the time, headaches, uncontrollable sobbing. | F | 18 | 2 months | 7/8/2014 | 2 | help with heavy periods | I have been on this pill for just over a month, and I started my period early, near the end of 5 days, my period got HEAVIER than usual, caused me to be anemic, and caused a bunch of other issues I didn't need. I'm not very satisfied with this AT ALL. | F | 18 | 1 months | 5/23/2007 | 2 | Birth Control/Regulate | Crying spells. EXTREME moodiness. Nausea. Bloating. Minor weight gain. Some acne. | This drug has made me a completely different person. I have become severely depressed and I cry all the time over nothing. I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone. | F | 18 | 45 days 1X day | 1/23/2012 | 2 | prevent pregnancy & lighten periods | My periods are way heavier, i have horrible cramping and very low sex drive. Also every time i start the dark orange section of the pill cycle i break out horribly. I just woke up with it the first morning after the first orange pill. I hadn't experienced acne like that since back in middle school. I also lack the motivation and confidence i had prior to this birth control pill. Before this contraceptive, I was taking Loralyn 3mg birth control for 2yrs and it was AMAZING but then insurance stopped covering it (almost $90 a month..prob why it worked so well). I highly recommend that versus this drug. | F | 18 | 2 months 1x day | 4/7/2013 | 1 | birth control | nausea, moody, weight gain, and a very low sex drive | I dont recommend this birth control to anyone if you have any other choices. I myself dont like this birth control. I am moody most the time and experience nausea every other night. I have gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks and I have a very very low sex drive. Actually I dont have any sex drive at all. | F | 18 | 2 weeks | 10/5/2006 | 1 | Regulate My Period | I have exspierenced SEVER acne on my cheeks and forehead, that I just recently gotten rid of when I was on Ortho Tri-cyclen & Low. | Did however regulate my period. | F | 18 | 7 months | 4/2/2008 | 5 | Birth Control | Absolutely none | I love it, i did have an increase in my appetite,but absolutely no weight gain. My periods are like clockwork, they come the same time every month. They last 3 days,they're lighter,no cramps. I never had a problem with my body adjusting when i first got on this particular pill.I don't get emotional near my period,i just love this pill. | F | 19 | 2 years | 9/30/2009 |
