 2  prevent pregnancy I have been so easily annoyed and moody. Have no energy and feel lightheaded at times. Increased appetite and gained weight already. I know it takes more than 10 days for your body to adjust to a BC pill, but each day has been such a struggle that I don't know if I should keep taking them or just stop now so I don't have to worry about feeling awful again tomorrow. F 28 10 days

 5  Irregular Cycle, Painful Cycles I've been taking for 2 months and the only thing I've noticed is significant breast tenderness for a few days out of each month, but nothing major. I also experience BAD mood swings when taking the sugar pills...I guess my body is adjusting to no hormone. This is the ONLY pill that has worked to alleviate all of my symptoms and regulate my cycle. This stuff is the BEST! F 30 2 months

 1  Dr prescribed for breakthrough bldg HEADACHES, 20# WEIGHT GAIN IN A MONTH, NAUSEA, SEVERELY TENDER BREASTS, ELIMINATED SEX DRIVE, ALTERNATING DIARRHEA AND CONSTIPATION, MOODINESS, DEPRESSION, ALLERGIC REACTION ON FACE, INSOMNIA - THIS STINKS!!! I have been on other b/c pills for 7 years with NO problems. The negatives far outweigh the positives, this pill sucks! My dr. prescribed it as an alternative to seasonal - would not recommend to anyone. Until I found this site, I was seriously panicking about being pregnant...Still going to check but I am also getting off this infernal pill - not worth the headache (literally). How did this get through the FDA????? F 30 46 days

 2  birth control Severe mood swings. The whole week before my period I'm a monster to live with and snap at every one for no reason at all. I've never been so unhappy with a birth control pill before. The first two months was a non-stop period then I went 8 months without having a period at all. Now things are back to normal but I want off this pill. F 29 1 years

 5  Birth control/cramps/heavy bleeding The first day I took it (18 years ago), I threw up once. No side effects since then. I've been on this pill for 18 years with an occasional switch to another pill for a month. The other pills gave me side effects that this one doesn't. It's been great! My periods are much lighter, and my cramps are much better. F 37 18 years
