| 5 | Endo/Adenomyosis | None that I can definitely blame on the pill | Love this pill. Cured my chronic and constant pain from endo/adeno literally overnight, periods almost nonexistent and pain free when before I was unable to function. Remember a lot of people post when feeling negative about a product. We're all different, it's worth a try with the oestrogen level so low! | F | 40 | 1 years 1X day | 1/13/2014 | 3 | nausea | 37 | | 12/19/2013 | 5 | Birgh control | OKAY, GILDESS FE IS NOT THR SAME AS LOESTRIN! no matter what the stupid companies tell you. I was on loestrin, switched to godless when it was discontinued. My body freaked out right away. Bad. I got cystic acne all over my chinn and forehead. From the moment I took it I never had a clear face. One pimple would leave and two more giants would appear. I was so moody and hated the world. Mostly my boyfriend. I went to a new doctor and she said it was NOT me and 100% the pill. She said she had heard this from multiple women and to stop taking it. She switched me to yaz and my skin stopped breaking out within a week. I am waiting to have an iud put in to end all this shit. IUDs are becoming more known as a safe and NORMAL option for women who haven't had kids yet. They are safe effective and release so little hormone that they don't make you a lunatic. Look into mirena ladies! | F | 22 | 3 months | 12/5/2013 | 2 | prevent pregnancy | Ughhhhh!!!! I hate this pill... I have itchy skin all the time... My breast have gotten bigger... I have very bad mood swings... I have vivid dreams... I eat alot crave everything.Im just 20pds lighter from when i was pregnant..I cant loose weight on this pill....Its real easy for me to snap on anybody. Although my periods are alot different. I barely had a period this monthit lasted about three days bt it was very light. That would be the only thing i like about this pill. It does regulate your periods. Other then that I feel sad all the time. Always in my feelings. As far as my sex drive I dont think its changed none. I still like sex. Uhm, I may end up switching sooner or later. But im still taking it. Other reviews ive read has been worse than mines. But im still not satisfied. Blahhhh to this pill!!! | F | 22 | 3 months | 11/6/2013 | 3 | pms, bloating, highly irregular cyc | stopped period entirely from the outset with no spotting; tender breasts all cycle become excruciating for last week; increased breast size from 34dd to 34 g in 2 months. Gained only 4 lbs, but went from a size 4 to a size 8 jean. | Greatly helped me with severe cramping and I no longer have unexpected or wacked out periods-- in fact I get none at all-- breasts are very sore for half the pack; severe bloating for the last 10-12 pills in the pack-- enough so that I wish my perid would just start so I could get some relief. (have to order 34g Wacoal bras from macys online). Also went from a size 4 to a size 8 jean, but I only gained 4 pounds. Feel hungry all the time. Still, I will take these for at least another month to see if symptoms improve. If my breasts weren't so terribly sore, swollen, and weighty for the last 10 days of the pack, I think it would be great. | F | 43 | 2 months 1/20 1X day | 5/20/2013 | 3 | birth control, to stop heavy period | No orgasm, don't even get wet anymore. I barely sleep at night, I have vivid nightmares, I get dehydrated all the time, need to pee way too much, I'm overemotional, boobs are sore to touch, period stopped completely though, and it does work well as a contraceptive. | I would not recommend this unless you have no other option. I don't, but I suggest you try to find every other possibility of things you could try first before you use this to stop periods/as a contraceptive, as the side effects are far too high. | F | 14 | 8 months 1X day | 5/16/2013 | 2 | Contraception and Painful Periods | I have been on this drug for almost three months and I have insomnia, anxiety, weight gain (despite working out 5 days a week), and headaches. The only good thing is that my periods are barely there with no pain. My skin also looks pretty good. But Im not sure what to do because the negative side effects are pretty major. | F | 37 | 1X day | 5/10/2013 | 4 | contraceptive purposes | F | 19 | 3 weeks | 4/24/2013 | 1 | birth control/irregular cycle | Extremely itchy skin, skin redness, rashes that look like mosquito bites, raised red whelps on skin, headaches, foggy feeling | F | 35 | 17 days 1X day | 3/31/2013 | 1 | PCOS/hormonal reasons | I cry all the time for no reason. My family doesn't want to be around me. My period won't stop, and I feel anxious and tired all the time. My boobs are normally a 34DD but my bras won't even fit the whole boob anymore. Terrible cystic acne on my normally clear skin. I have no sex drive. I hate everything. This is awful. Can't wait to quit this pill. | F | 28 | 10 days | 3/28/2013 | 3 | cyst control | cramping, but can be contributed to the cysts. no period | controlled my hot flashes that were being induced by the mirena. gyno put me on it to control my cysts, as the mirena only worked for my endometriosis. overall this is a great birth control option that has little to no side effects for me, and I've been on them all. really effective low dose that works amazingly. | F | 20 | 45 days 1 mg 1X day | 3/23/2013 | 3 | prevent pregnancy, regulate period | Insomnia!! Exactly between 2-3am I would wake up for NO reason at all! Tonight, even though I stopped anything caffeinated after 12pm and took a benedryl before bed, sure enough, like clockwork, I'm up at 2. I finally made the correlation between my bouts of insomnia and the pill cause right around the same time taking it, I started having sleep issues. And I've never had sleeping problems ever. I've also been experiencing vaginal dryness too! After one episode of sex, it was so painful I couldn't do much the next day. It even hurt to urinate. Lastly, my poor boyfriend has been getting the grunt of my mood swings. I am a fairly outgoing person but since I've been on this pill, I've been much more withdrawn and really don't want to be around people at all. Ironically enough, I came to this conclusion tonight while tossing and turning...as I have been for two months now! | F | 30 | 1 days | 3/12/2013 | 3 | Hormonal imbalance / irregulacycle | Less cramps I would have labor pain cramps monthly often twice a month but very emotional | F | 32 | 2 weeks 1mg | 3/9/2013 | 2 | Birth control | I have never felt more anxiety in my life. The first few nights, I couldn't really sleep. Now I feel my heart beating heavy. Mood swings - check. Depressed yes. Maybe my priorities are off, but worst of all - I have no sex drive and I used to be horny all the time. Never again. | F | 30 | 17 days 1X day | 2/27/2013 | 4 | Prevention and cycle regulation | The first week was terrible, I had severe mood swings and cried alot, abnormal bleeding, food cravings and I got hungrier more than usual, I also had a sensitivity to smell. This week, my boobs have dramatically increased in size (I'm nearly a cup larger) and they are very tender but I don't mind that much. All other sides effects have gone away. | F | 16 | 2 weeks | 1/26/2013 | 5 | 2x period a month, hormone imbalan | So far I have experienced no negative side effects. I was so hesitant to take something, afraid of weight gain or mood swings but so far nothing! I have had more Energy then I have had in years!! I would say give it a chance like my dr told me for 3 months. Everyone is different! | F | 26 | 1 months 20 | 1/19/2013 | 5 | heavy period, extreme cramping | Bigger boobs/butt, always hungry but no weight gain, high sex drive. | F | 18 | 3 months | 12/29/2012 | 1 | Birth Control/Endometriosis | This pill came straight from HELL. I'm the angriest person alive. You could say hello and I'd snap. Do NOT recommend. Getting off this tomorrow!! | F | 30 | 1 months | 12/19/2012 | 1 | Painful periods, dont want baby | Mood Swings, tiredness, tender breasts, very very bad acne on face and back. Loss of appetite, after eating i throw up cry for no reason. | F | 22 | 2 months 20 1X day | 12/17/2012 | 4 | PMDD/birth control | Insomnia. This pill has balanced my moods quite well. The higher estrogen pills make me feel insane and cause weight gain. This pill hasn't. | F | 32 | 2 months 1/20 | 12/12/2012 |
