 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

 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

 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

 3  Birth control Slightly lower libido, but better than Ortho Tri-Cyclen which completely killed my sex drive. 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

 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.

 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

 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

 3  Suspect endometriosis, pain Dryness, very low sex drive, mood swings and weight gain. Also depressive and low energy. Gave 3 stars because I had terrible pain during periods since I was 14 and started on birth control pills for that which controlled them. Then I was taken off them by an OBGYN, then I started getting ovarian cysts. One got so big, that it burst and I ended up in the hospital with terrible pain. I switched doctors and this one started me on Levora for suspect Endometriosis, cysts went away and also pain is much more controlled but then I got all these side effects which I mentioned.

 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

 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

 1  prevent pregnancy Anxiety, horrible acne, bad cramping, depression I was previously on yaz with no problems and was switched to levora when i moved the first few months were O.k although i had bad breakouts and horribly acne, the days of the placebo pills my acne would get better but then once i started a new pack i would breakout again. However the worst effect was the anxiety after maybe 5 months of taking this pill i started finding myself worrying sick about the most meaningless things.. it was so bad that i would start hyperventilating, my chest would hurt i would think i was having a heart attack and rush into the ER (keep in mind im a healthy, active 24 year old) after 3 ER visits in 1.5 months i knew something was wrong, I finally got off the pill and its been a month since i stopped, im still anxious and worrying about stupid things sometimes but I can tell myself is just in my mind and I am able to relax, i have started to feel a lot better and I know it was levora that made me feel that way. F 24 11 months

 2  painful, heavy periods. birth contr I had anxiety when I first began taking this medication - to the point where I made an appointment with a therapist because I couldn't figure out what was wrong. The anxiety went away after a few weeks and I did alright up until recently. I've been under stress and now I'm having the same feelings of anxiety, even more intensely. I have never had anxiety until being on this pill. Also, my libido has become very low. I'm definitely stopping this pill, even if I have to face my painful periods. :( F 29 8 months

 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

 1   Acne, significant weight gain, moodiness, depression, severe anxiety, fatigue, feeling sadness. I've never had acne even as a teenager. Now it's on my back, chest and face. I eat a clean diet and workout 4 days per wk, cardio and weight training yet consistently have gained weight since on Levora. Anxiety was terrible, although no feelings of worry it gave me panic attacks where I was short of breathe with heart racing for almost a week. I ended up in the ER. I would NOT recommend this pill. F 30 8 months
