| 5 | Irregular periods/premenopause | None | I have been very happy with this pill. I have experienced no side effects and it has worked to regulate my periods. Previously, I was quite sensitive to birth control so I was worried about using this. I just feel much better because I'm not bleeding for 2 weeks at a time and cramping. | F | 45 | 3 months 1X day | 3/27/2015 | 5 | Irregular circle | After 2 1/5 weeks of taking Levora I experienced terrible side effects such as strong headaches, shortness of breath and worst of all very acute chest pain. I am a healthy woman, in good physical condition and I work out 3 times a week. I have never experienced any of these side effects before taking Lavora. The acute chest pain was very scary and painful! I immediately stopped this birth control and all the side effects succumbed. I had a CT scan to check for any possible blood clot. Doctors should be much more cautious and more responsible when prescribing birth controls. Dr do not stress the fact that there is an alarming list of “warnings” on the label. My dr told me that I was not at risk because the risk is blood clots are much higher for smokers and women who are sedentary. My dr prescribed this bc without any blood work done to verify if I had any genetic predisposition to develop blood cloth. I was very disappointed in my doctor and her lack of care! Please be aware, Lavora is a very dangerous birth control and should be removed by the FDA. | Please do NOT take this birth control! | F | 45 | 3 weeks | 3/11/2018 | 5 | Regulate heavy periods. | I have had zero side effects.

My GYN prescribed this birth control as a taper to stop a bout of heavy bleeding (likely relate to my fibroids). I was not supposed to get a period until I finished the second pack of pills. My period began three days ago and although it is light, the menstrual cramping is unreal! I haven't had cramps like this since I was a teenager. I plan to discontinue use ASAP! | F | 44 | 4 weeks 1X day | 4/14/2018 | 2 | Regulate cycles | In just a week I've experienced extreme fatigue and crying for no reason.

Some depression and anxiety, but I have suffered from both all my life. Less acne, but Ortho Tri-Cyclen gave me perfect skin. | Benefits: no spotting. | F | 41 | 2.5 years | 8/25/2007 | 1 | Heavy menstrual bleeding | Extreme anxiety feeling hard to breath very moody | I did find the first month but starting second month I had extreme anxiety that couldn't be controlled by.my anxiety meds and feeling panicked and unable to catch my breath.

Only the good side effects of lighter, regular periods with no cramps. Was awesome. I only stopped it because I haven't been sexually active and figured maybe I'd see what it's like to not be on it for now. Bad idea! My cramps are back and I never know when my period is coming. | Don't understand how others are having side effects but it shows me that everyone's bodies are different. | F | 35 | 3 years .15/30 | 1/10/2015 | 1 | Endometriosis | Swollen breast, nausea, mood swings, no sexual desire at all! I started levora on 12April and on 19 April I was bleeding, it is now 27 June and I have bled everyday since! My dct told me its normal and if it continues after 2 months come in. Well now they say I need to give the pills another month, but along with the bleeding I am now having stomach pains. Oh and let's not forget the reason I am using this pill to try and help with my pain from the endometriosis well guess what the pain is WORSE! I wake up screaming/crying and damn near falling over b/c the pain is so intense! I HATE this pill and today decided to not take another pill until I see the dct!!! | F | 35 | 3 months | 6/27/2013 | 2 | Birth control | Bloating, depression, mood swings, diminished libido | F | 34 | 1 months | 2/24/2005 | 1 | To regulate my periods | I did fine the first few weeks. After 2 weeks on the pill, my period began. It has not stopped 18 days later. Increased blood pressure, so the doctor took me off this medication and will start a different type of bc. | Would not recommend this bc to anyone. | F | 34 | 1 months | 8/19/2015 | 1 | Birth control/ regulate period | First month was perfect, second month I had a 6 day cycle, I stopped bleeding for 5 days and it started again, I'm soaking through pads every 2/3 hours dropping baseball sized clots. I've lost so much blood I now fall in the anemic range, causing dizzy spell. The pressure in my abdomin is unbelievable. | F | 34 | 2 months | 2/23/2017 | 3 | Irregular period | The first packet didn't give me any symptoms but the first pill I took from the second packet (2nd month) gave me dizzy spell waking up. I tried staying on the pill for few days but my doc advised me to stop it to see if I will get rid of the dizziness. The first morning pf stopping the pill the dizziness has lessened, it's still there but it wasn't as bad as before. I think it will take time to recover... | F | 33 | 1 months 0.15 | 10/19/2015 |
