 1  Regulate Periods - Perimenopausal Ugh. Feel pregnant, so bloated. Zero libido. Agitated. Extreme mood swings. I've forgotten how to smile. First week fine - then all downhill from there. Extreme sleepiness ALL DAY - like I'm drugged. Foggy minded. Yeast infection. Put simply: MISERABLE. Done with this pill forever. I'd rather bleed 2x per month again then become something manic like this.Hope it leaves my system QUICK. I need myself back. F 45 28 days

 1  Irregular Never diagnosed officially, but I believe: depression, mood swings, lack of ability to feel happy, anxiety, spots It took me over 2 years to make the connection between this drug and the side effects - I kept taking it because it took pains away. I'm off it now and feel loads better. PLEASE don't keep taking this if things aren't working out for you on it. Take care. F 25 2 years

 5  birth control, reduce cramping No cramps at all, no more mood swings, very slight reduction in arousal response, slight weight loss at first, breast swelling (yes!) for a few months, lighter (3 days) bleeding. This pill is a DREAM for me! After taking it for a couple of years, I decided to give my body a rest for several months.....i couldn't WAIT to get back on it. I had forgotten what cramps felt like! Not to mention having to wear the largest tampons available for the heavy flow. My doctor (who has only daughters) originally prescribed this because I was afraid of gaining weight on the pill. I never want to switch. F 28 3 years

 1  Birth Control Severe headaches, Extreme irritability/aggression, acne problems, constant bleeding, severe cramps, depression, weight gain I have been on this pill 1 month. Side effects are horrifying. Dr. won't let me switch for another 2 months. With a husband and 2 small kids, this is not acceptable! I am switching Dr's because of this horrid medication. F 21 1 months

 4  to reduce size of uterine fibroids Diarrhea for the first four months. Light menstrual periods the first four months, completely skipped the last two periods. I was scared until today I found this site and read that the majority of women on this pill have experienced the same. The great aspect is that the mood swings I have always had in the week of my period (depression, sadness, apathy, agressiveness) are gone. My husband and I are very happy about that!! Regarding the objective for which I was prescribed this, which was to reduce the size of the fibroids, I still need a new ultrasound test to see what happened. F 35 6 months

 4  Contraception, heavy periods No periods ever. No bleeding. Which is a bit scary, but my doctor says this is normal on this particular pill.. It helped a lot with anemia, and overall I feel pretty great. I was surprised, after a really bad experience with Microgynon. No worse mood swings than normal (I have a temper without the pill!). Everything seems pretty good so far. F 31 1 years

 3  Birth Control Emotional unavailability, everything annoying, irritable, edgy, "don't touch me" days. Would go back to normal on off days. Started taking after Ortho Novum started making me crazy and Loestrin worked for several years. Now that I'm 41 I think I need to stop before everyone, including myself hates me! I think our hormones change as we age and the pills need adjusted to the latest hormonal change. F 41 5 years
