| 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 | 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 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy, regulate periods | None | I have been on this pill for about 7 1/2 years with no problems whatsoever. Periods start like clockwork when they are supposed to. I could almost set my watch by it. | F | 28 | 7 years | 10/30/2008 | 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 | 5 | Prescribed to me by doctor as request | I like it and my breasts have grown a cup and a half since and its only been 2 weeks. I take it at 10pm at night so I go right to bed so I never have any nausea or any like that. No mood swings really maybe I get teary eyed over sad things but I don't know if that just me or the pill so I can't blame the pill. So far so good, but everyone is different. I would let you know you should take your pill at night before bed. good luck to all of you! :) | F | 31 | 2 weeks 1X day | 9/22/2013 | 5 | avoid pregnancy | No bad side effects at all. 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 | 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. I have been super happy and how this birth-control has helped regulate my heavy periods. used to have cramps so keep me in bed for days. I haven’t missed a day of work thanks to this birth control. | F | 44 | 3 months .15 | 6/14/2019 | 5 | Regulate heavy periods. | I have had zero side effects. I have been super happy and how this birth-control has helped regulate my heavy periods. used to have cramps so keep me in bed for days. I haven’t missed a day of work thanks to this birth control. | F | 44 | 3 months .15 | 6/14/2019 | 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 | 4 | Birth control, period regulation | First 3 months I would get nauseous after taking it other than that I've had no other negative side effects. No weight gain, no mood changes, no decrease in my libido, no sleep or appetite changes. It's helped keep my skin clear and I've also noticed that any body hair (down below) that I may have grows a lot slower now. | F | 29 | 4 years | 2/21/2014 | 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 | 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 | 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 | I have experienced nausea a lot lately and have also started my period a week after I was suppose to. At least I think it's my period. | F | 24 | 2 years 0.15 | 10/25/2013 | 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 | birth control | nausea and fatigue at first... these got better but intense moodiness persists (random crying). | F | 3 months | 5/26/2008 | 3 | BIrth Control PMS | Fine for first 7 mos, then bad moods, severe, anxiety, wrote about it above forgot to add rating | F | 44 | 9 months | 6/22/2009 | 3 | birth control | bloating | F | 21 | 6 months | 2/17/2005 |
