| 3 | birth control | nausea and fatigue at first... these got better but intense moodiness persists (random crying). | F | 3 months | 5/26/2008 | 1 | regulate periods | EXTREME night sweats (had to get up and change clothes in the middle of the night), gained 16 pounds, felt sluggish/irritable, chronic constipation, EXTREMELY BLOATED everyday (not just on my period), then Jan 5, 2015 I had a MAJOR PAIN in my liver area (I couldn't walk spouse had to carry me to the car). I was diagnosed as having MULTIPLE LARGE LIVER CYSTS in the Emergency room that night Later I found out that I also have liver cancer and these cysts will never go away. The cancer has not changed and I am being watched by an oncologist with CT scans every 6 months. LIVER CYSTS is listed #4 on their side effects of this drug. Just took 3 months and now I have liver cancer and cysts just because western medicine doesn't know how to help women regulate periods naturally. I am SICK and in pain frequently and have been told that nothing can be done for my condition. I also have pain on the left temple of my head and have suffered with chronic, reoccurring styes and chalazions in my | I would NEVER recommend birth control pills to women. Estrogen kills women.....look at the increased levels of breast, cervical, ovarian cancer. Our food supply is full of estrogen in our meat supply and soy is an estrogen and in EVERYTHING. Please pay attention and avoid estrogen...BC increases estrogen to dangerous levels for women that cause future damage. | F | 3 months 1X day | 9/19/2016 | 5 | Birth Control | Not really any. I actually got a little hungrier on the pill but besides that nothing really noticeable. I don't feel any different and my libido didn't change ;) | F | 17 | 15 days 0.15/30 1X day | 8/6/2012 | 1 | prevent pregnancy | worse acne! super moody and mean, anxiety, yeast infections, cramps, etc. | i didnt realize my bc is what is causing me all these problems until i looked at others experiences. im definitely getting off of it. | F | 17 | 8 months 1X day | 10/20/2010 | 4 | Prevent pregnancy | VERY mild acne, lowered libido, VERY minimal weight gain (and I have not changed my eating habits at all so I know it's the pill), occasional minor bloating/cramps a few days before period. | I have only been on this birth control. It has been great as far as keeping mood swings from happening and I haven't gotten pregnant. I occasionally get mild acne but I have combination skin as it is so it could just be me. Weight gain was pretty expected and it was only a couple pounds.. no big deal. I would definitely reccommend Levora to others. I do wish I had my old sex drive back though and I think my fiance wishes for the same. :( | F | 18 | 2 years | 3/12/2009 | 3 | Stop pregnancy | EXTREME MOOD SWINGS | Never got pregnant so it did its job but the mood swings were so insane my bf broke up with me because of it. | F | 18 | 2 years | 7/21/2019 | 1 | Birth control, period cramps | Bad acne break outs. The pill makes me feel depressed and anixous. I'm restless and gaining weight. My breast are always tender. My periods last forever and the blood is brown no longer red. I'm very dizzy all the time and nauseas every morning. I wouldn't reccomend this pill. It drains me and I'm always tired. If I dont eat with my pill I feel extremely sick the next morning. I threw up from it and it was so painful. | F | 18 | 1 months | 12/3/2014 | 4 | BC and controling problem periods | during the first three months i had a few headaches and moodiness during week one, but once my body adjusted i was fine. | levora was my first experience with hormonal birth control, and i loved it. for the most part, i could predict my period within a few hours of arrival (though that changed slightly after about 18 months) and i found my periods to be much lighter, though not tons shorter - they lasted about a week, though the last few days were merely spotting. i eventually went off this pill because it stopped helping with my bad period symptoms (bleeding became heavier and longer, with terrible cramps) but it seems that my body just got used to it after years of use. for the majority of the time on this pill, i was very happy with the results. | F | 19 | 2 years | 1/18/2007 | 4 | period regulation, birth control | Nausea, stomach problems, acne, I just stopped taking depo provera so automatically I have a heep of symptoms and side effects yet on levora all I had was 3 added on which is not bad compared to what depo did to me. Hopefully when my cell effects wear off in a few months my levora side effects will subside like it did when I was on another pill I love it so far drop also stopped my menstration so idk about that yet...I recommend this BC method over all others | F | 19 | 7 days once a day | 2/10/2013 | 3 | prevent pregnancy | WEIGHT GAIN! I gained 1 pound every week since I got on it. My appetite has grown & I keep having night mares wake up crying! Stay away you will gain weight . Just helps because I get no nausea just the first pill of the month makes me throw up. | F | 19 | 4 weeks | 1/15/2013 | 3 | prevention of pregnancy and cramp r | I started taking this because my cycle dramatically changed. I have been taking it for 3 weeks now. I am nauseous and dizzy all the time (although I haven't thrown up yet), very irritable and emotional, I get cramps for no reason, and my breasts hurt more than usual. The only thing the pill has helped is my skin and I haven't gained or lost weight, it continues to fluctuate between 120-125. | F | 19 | 3 weeks | 4/8/2014 | 2 | Regulate my periods | Over sleeping, headaches when awake, super moody! | I am on my 3rd week of levora and these past 2 weeks I have been wanting to do nothing but sleep and when I'm awake I just have a horrible headache and I won't take anything for it. Also, I argue with my boyfriend or cause a fight with him over nothing lately and I've been super stressed and depressed over it. This is my first time back on birth control since everything else I've tried I've had horrible reactions to. This is the first time trying the pill and I don't really like it much. I can say I'm thankful that I haven't bled at all yet, but that kind've worries me after some of the reviews I've read. | F | 20 | 3 weeks | 8/31/2015 | 2 | Regulate/shorten period | Bad acne, spotting, got period right before I was supposed to start a new pack after the week I was supposed to get it, large weight gain of 20lbs within a month and a half | I hated Levora. I was switched when my EstroStep prescription stopped properly regulating my period, and it was the worst decision I made. I got acne on my face, chest, and back worse than I had it when I was a young teenager. Levora did nothing for me, it seems, but give me horrible side effects. I just started taking a leftover pack of EstroStep for this month because I got so fed up. | M | 20 | 1 years | 3/20/2008 | 3 | birth control | bloating | F | 21 | 6 months | 2/17/2005 | 2 | Birth Control | Terrible acne that I've never had before. Went on different acne medications and nothing would clear it. Other birth controls never gave me this problem. The good thing is that Levora gave me a much shorter period - only 3 days. Very moody, soar chest a week before period, and bad cramps for a few days. Definitely switching next time I go to my doctor. | F | 21 | 1 years | 4/30/2008 | 2 | Prevent babies | pms, mood swings, depression, crying all the time, hot flashes, feeling worthless, still cramping, uncontrollable rage | I have decided to get off this pill after recognizing the changes and side effects of this medication. This pill made my pms worse by far, as if any emotion (anger/sadness) was magnified 10x. I cry all the time sometimes for no reason at all, but feeling sad. I do not want to take antidepressants to counteract with this drug. I think getting off this pill will bring back my old self. | F | 21 | 8 months 1X day | 8/21/2011 | 1 | birth control, period regulation | Ive only been taking levora for a month but so far it hasn't done me any good.I've been switched around from birth control to birth control this year .I was on ortho tri cyclen for 7 months and was having very bad mood swings and weird symptoms so I was switched to levora but I haven't had a good experience with it, I feel extremely fatigued, tired,and lazy I have absolutely no energy when usually I'm very active and insomnia at night so no sleep!! Ive also been having uncontrollable rage, mood swings,depression, and increased anxiety. I have gotten a lot of acne aswell when my skin is usually clear and my pms is far worse I was so extremely Moody, fatigued, lazy and down on my period.I plan on switching but it's so hard to find a good birth control. | F | 21 | 1 days | 12/18/2012 | 5 | birth control/migraines | mild mood swings and headaches on the fourth (off) weeks | I love it. No real negative side effects (no weight gain, acne, spotting); I still get migraines on week 4 but otherwise I feel really great since switching from Loestrin 24 Fe, which was a nightmare for me. | F | 22 | 6 months | 6/2/2008 | 4 | Birth control | Night sweats after several months | Overall this has been a great pill for me, and i have tried several. Spotting occurred during the first month but stopped after i had my first period in week 4. Now, a year into taking levora, i have started having hot flashes at night. But my periods are almost non-existent and i don't have any skin problems so i will stick with it. | F | 22 | 1 years 1X day | 11/23/2011 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy | Was on the Depo Shot and I gained about 12 pounds over the course of a few months. It also made me spot old blood for six months, so I got off it and switched to Levora, as prescribed through the Nurx app. Spotting cleared up immediately. No major side effects with it, although I'm working out to maintain a better weight, just in case this pill causes any unwanted gain. | Some of the comments are from older women- age is a factor here in how it effects a body's system and hormonal levels, so be aware of that and talk to your doctor about it. There's also something to be said about reviews from women who have only been taking it for a few weeks. Your body is still adjusting to a foreign influx in hormones. Of course it's going to make some things a little haywire. That's the price we pay right now for chemically altering our system to treat illnesses, symptoms, or use it to prevent pregnancy. Just give it some time. | F | 22 | 2 months 0.15/30-28 1X day | 8/21/2020 |
