ISIBLOOM  (DESOGESTREL; ETHINYL ESTRADIOL):  This combination hormone medication is used to prevent pregnancy. It contains 2 hormones: a progestin and an estrogen. It works mainly by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) during your menstrual cycle. It also makes vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization) and changes the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. If a fertilized egg does not attach to the uterus, it passes out of the body. Besides preventing pregnancy, birth control pills may make your periods more regular, decrease blood loss and painful periods, decrease your risk of ovarian cysts, and also treat acne. Using this medication does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia).   FDA Approval Date: 2015-08-12 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Birth Control This is my first time ever taking birth control in my life and I have absolutely no side effects at all from taking Isibloom. This birth control is very mild for me and I would highly recommend it to anyone. F 28 1 months

 3  Prevent Pregnancy and Help Periods tender breast, NO SEX DRIVE, heavier periods, and bloating/weight gain The first month was fine, period was heavier than it used to be on other pills. I switched from an IUD to Isibloom but was on different pills before hand. I gained probably 5-10 pounds. Thought it was me being lazy but I truthfully think it is from the pill. I have no sex drive. Literally no sex drive. I get horny very rarely and even when I do, it goes away as soon as my boyfriend and I start. I will be going off of it at the end of the pack. F 20 90 days

 2  Contraception Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, increased anxiety, mood swings, intolerance to food, yeast infections In the beginning I had no side effects until the third/fourth month of taking the pill. It was too much to the point that I had to change my birth control F 18 5 months

 3  Prevent pregnancy Headaches, food aversions, worsened sleep cycle, yeast infections My first month on the pill my headaches were so bad I had to have my dad pick me up from school early, but that has cleared up. Ever since I started, my sleep schedule has just gotten worse, and it's ways changing. A couple times a month, I'll get food aversions so bad to the point I'm nauseous thinking about even my favorite foods; the worst part being I'm really hungry and I need to eat. So I'll eat some saltines and try not to puke. But what's making me write this is the yeast infections. I got my first one about four months after my first pack. Now I'm convinced I have another. I'm not sure what either were from. The first one could have been me using men's body wash (the harsher ingredients). This one could be from teenagers famously not-the-greatest hygiene habits, but now I'm not so sure, because I'm usually fairly clean. One good thing about this product (in my opinion) is it bumped me up a cup size. F 6 months

 2  Period Cramping, Back pain, nauseous, moody, headaches I would not recommend this pill to anyone. I was on a different pill and mid way through my pharmacy changed to Isibloom. The past month was hell on my body, I am just on my second pill of this pack & I am so nauseous sitting in front of the toilet about to throw up. F 20 90 days

 1  Pregnancy prevention, horrific peri Depressed, anxious, LOW LIBIDO, intolerance to some foods, horrible period I do not recommend this at all. I got prescribed this because my periods were not "regular" enough for this doctor, which doesn't make sense because my main goal with BC was to get rid if my period but whatever, so she put me on this because there was more estrogen and it has been horrible. DO NOT TAKE THIS F 19 2 months

 4  Regulate periods, prevent pregnancy My only side effect is breakthrough bleeding. It happens like clockwork every month. If I skip my placebo week to avoid a period, the breakthrough bleeding is heavier the following month. But this is otherwise the birth control pill that does not affect my mood/weight/skin nor give me any problems or discomfort. F 35 3 years

 1  Prevent Pregnancy Brown discharge/light bleeding randomly throughout the month, BAD breast pain, bloating, weight gain, headaches, gas, heart racing/fluttering I got this through Pill Club and I wish I would've read some of these reviews before getting it. I have auto-immune and genetic diseases that are painful, but a month or two ago, I started experiencing severe bloating (I look pregnant) and gained 30 pounds. I also started experiencing migraines (only had maybe a few in my life, now up to several times a month) and extreme breast pain. I can't even pinpoint a location because it hurts all over. The pain mostly is a dull radiating ache but has sharp pains in certain spots (on BOTH breasts). I also noticed my heart would sometimes feel like it is fluttering and jumping out of my chest. With my diseases listed above, I have to be careful with my heart, so I have been freaking out. Reading the other reviews made me realize that all of my symptoms may not be my disease progressing, but because of this drug. I'm stopping it immediately. F 38 6 months

 1  Prevent pregnancy Depression, mood swings, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, stomach pain, weakness, fatigue I received this pill through my pill club subscription. For the first few weeks my experience was bad. I was moody, and felt sick to my stomach. It got better and I was hopeful. Now, about 5 months after the fact, I'm experiencing terrible effects again. Headaches that put me on bed rest, extreme stomach ache, my heart twitches, diarrhea, fatigue. I almost thought I had corona virus or cancer or something, but its just this nightmare of a pill. Please, it sounds great and all on paper, but It kills you. Sure I'm not pregnant yet, but it is NOT worth the side effects F 19 8 months

 3  skip periods and prevent pregnancy cramps, low libido, lots of breakthrough bleeding, breast enlargement, weight gain, less acne this is the first birth control I've ever used so I don't know if it's the pill to blame or my body but MAN I do NOT like the side effects. Im on the pill to prevent pregnancy but I never even wanna have sex because of it. My chest was pretty small which I liked but the pill has almost made me grow a full cup size. despite being on the pill for many months, I still get lots of breakthrough bleeding and it's honestly just annoying. Yes, this is a cheaper option and I did have some benefits like no full period and less acne but the pros are outweighed by the cons. Would not recommend. F 18 11 months

 3  IVF cycle control Depression, suicidal thoughts, mood swings, decreased libido, acne, weight gain, bloating, fatigue, difficulty thinking clearly, anxiety. It is fulfilling its purpose of controlling my periods. However, this is not a pill I would choose to take. Far too many negative side effects. Plus I like to take birth control to help my skin, and this seems to be causing my acne. I’ve begun getting light cystic acne on my neck since taking this. Very disappointing. Can’t wait until I can get off of it. F 28 2 months

 1  help with acne, prevent pregnancy migraines, nausea, irritability, extreme mood swings, depression, anxiety please do not take this birth control. I have only been on 3 separate types of the pill but this one is horrible. about a week in, i stopped feeling like myself. i started feeling even more anxious than i regularly do, stressed to the max, my eyes started twitching from how nervous i constantly feel and it’s NEVER happened to me prior to this pill. i have your typical pms symptoms but i feel that they have been multiplied by 10 and are constant. as soon as i am off of work all I want to do is get in bed. i have no libido. and I often feel confused and lightheaded. overall a HUGE no. no one should have symptoms like all of us have.

 1  Birth control Weight gain, anxiety, heavy periods, always hungry, emotional By far the worst birth control I’ve ever taken.. was taking because as a non insurance payer it was the cheapest... paying a little more is one hundred percent worth not getting these horrible side effects!!!

 4  Preventing Pregnancy Isibloom is great for preventing pregnancy, let’s get that right, however, there are some other minor issues (in my opinion) that came about with starting this. I have been on Isibloom for 4 months now, and I’m this review, I’ll be as transparent as I can to help out my fellow users :) Period: My prescription was filled out to skip my periods, however, I am a heavy bleeder with or without contraception. I knew that if I tried to skip it my first few months it would not go well. On month 1-3, I took the placebo as followed. My bleeding neither lightened or got heavier. So as for the flow, it remained the same. I also never really got cramps prior to B.C. so I didn’t get cramps either. On month 4, I decided to skip my period and it went flawlessly! I decided to skip it again but a few weeks into the new pack I got break through bleeding. I bled for 2 weeks straight and took my placebo pills again, after that, the bleeding subsided. I am a heavy bleeder though so keep that in mind. Moods: Months 1-3 were completely fine! On month 4, I started feeling slightly sad here and there but it isn’t bad. It was just slightly off putting and I knew that it was the pill because I never felt sad for no reason before. This made me over think a lot of things and made me cry. Periodically it’ll get bad to where I just cry, but it isn’t terrible! It hasn’t messed with me that bad like I’ve read in the other reviews though. Sex: T F 22 4 months

 1   Headaches, fatigue, nausea, irritability, mood swings, depression and more painful periods. I’ve been taking this almost a year and chalked up my headaches to needing a new glasses prescription but even with that it still persisted. I would not recommend this to anyone. It’s expensive even with insurance and I’ve never consistently felt this terrible. I come home from work and instantly lay in bed with a major headache and terrible fatigue. F 22 1 years

 1  Pregnancy prevention I have been overly depressed and exhausted. I live in Maine and chalked it up to winter time but after reading the reviews on this site I am stopping this pill immediately. I’ve lost my drive to do anything, absolutely no libido and have gotten more anxious(which is the complete opposite of how i normally am) hoping to feel better soon. Caused depression, extreme fatigue, anxiety, low libido. F 31 1 years
