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)

 1  Regularity I was given Isibloom through the Pill Club and things were okay at first. I had some mood swings in the first week and a lot of sickness when eating, so I barely ate and when I did it was weird foods like banana in a tortilla with Nutella haha! That finally passed and thing were good and it was working like it was supposed to but I started noticing that I was feeling more depressed and I chalked it up to just stress from school. I did think to myself that maybe I should stop taking the pill just in case that was it but i unfortunately did not. In December it started giving me full panic attacks and made my heart race. I stopped taking the pill almost a month ago and I am still having heart palpitations and I am on a Very restricted diet my doctor has put me on to fix this. I really do not recommend this product. It is a nightmare. The other reviews on this site are confirming my fears. Isibloom is terrifying. Always think of your health first. F 19 2 months

 1  Birth Control Please do not take this birth control. So I started taking isobloom the day my period came. Everything felt fine for a while. Then heading into the middle of the week my stomach would hurt so bad, the bloating was excruciating my belly expanded like I was pregnant. I was always tired, and immediately after coming in from work I would skip dinner Nasuea and go straight to bed. I had light bleeding here and there after my period. I’m a girl who love to eat, and I couldn’t even a whiff of cooked or raw meat made me puke. I got angry really quick, very bad acne like it hurt to touch it. And my head hurt so bad. I finny just stoped taking it on Sunday I believe. I’ve had light to medium bleeding with large slimy blood clots it’s been about 6 days that’s it been this way. I’m scared honestly because what if it doesn’t stop ? Today it’s light and not a lot of blood clots I just pray it’s over by Monday. F 22 8 days

 1  Prevent pregnancy Light bleeding every day almost. Slight cramps. Slight breast tenderness. I got isibloom through pill club because I don’t have insurance and I don’t have a whole lot of money to spend. I started taking the pill with directions to skip the inactive ones and go straight to a new pack. I have been having slight bleeding/ brown discharge for about 4/6 months. It will stop for maybe 2 days then start back up again. It’s a pain in the ass when I’m having intercourse with my S.O. and he gets blood on himself from me. It’s not a lot but it’s enough to be annoying. Do not get isibloom if you don’t want to bleed everyday. F 25 6 months

 2  Birth control definitely made me feel more hormonal, I got one cystic pimple each cycle that took 3 months to go away and the scars last even longer. Experienced some weight gain, moodiness. My breasts would be tender a full week before I finished my pills in the back and god forbid I miss one day my period would come without fail. F 27 6 months

 1  To stop heavy cycles 15 pound weight gain, acne, 3 months of a nonstop heavy flow This birth control I started to delay my hysterectomy because of fibroids and extremely heavy cycles. This pill instead caused me to have one 3 month long heavy cycle requiring more iron infusions for me. I also have 4 babies and have never had and issue with weight gain (also have not been in any birth control in 10 years) and since beginning to take this I have gained almost 15 pounds in the 12 weeks I've been on it. I am currently awaiting my new prescription of a different birth control so that hopefully this nightmare will end. F 30 3 months

 1  To stop major bleeding. This pill is a f**king nightmare. DO NOT TAKE IT! I had never experienced severe cramps before in my whole 3 years of starting my period. NEVER! Once I start taking this pill my cramps were awful. I spent 5 hours in the ER and I bled through everything I owned within a few days. This pill is made for young female teenagers that fool around. NOT YOUNG WOMEN WHO WANT A MORE CHILL PERIOD! I have to change my pad every 1-3 hours. Not to mention everything I eat with this medicine makes me feel nauseous and gives me the diarrhea. I’ve been HEAVY BLEEDING and cramping for 4 days now. do NOT take this pill. It is a nightmare. Find something else. I’ve heard from other resources that it can also decrease your chances of getting pregnant in the future. Maybe you all have different experiences, but this pill is awful for me. F 15 40 days

 3  To prevent pregnancy Okay so I started the first day of my period, and it stopped my period altogether. It just stopped. Have had minor cramps nothing serious, I'm starting to think I am pregnant. Taking a pregnancy test tomorrow morning. If I'm not then I highly recommend it. These comments are all so sad, I haven't struggled with anything major yet it says if you take it on the first day of your period then you don't need a backup. Not much to say other than the first night I took it I did wake up with the worst stomachache but I didn't have it the second night. We shall see about tonight. It's only been 3 days of taking it so idk how well my review will be. Will update if things go south F 25 3 days

 1  Prescribed by pill club Depression. Mood swings. Light headed and dizziness. Nausea. Fatigue. Stomach ache. Bled heavily for three weeks straight. I was honestly scared that something was severely wrong with my body because the side effects were so extreme. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you're okay with having to stay in bed most days, feeling nauseous in the morning, and random spouts of anger and sadness. I'm still dealing with the side effects because I just stopped taking it and I can't wait for this nightmare to be over. F 22 1 months

 1  Prevent pregnancy Severe headaches, extreme sadness, debilitating cramps I know you're supposed to wait 3 months to get into your system for side effects to subside, but there is no way to live 3 months like this. I have NEVER had extreme cramping. My periods have always been incredibly mild. I now understand what some women go through and don't know how they deal! I've had 2 miscarriages and the cramping I had today was worse than that. I got a prescription through the pill club because I dont currently have insurance and needed BC. I will be calling Planned Parenthood tomorrow to talk with them. I have spent all day in bed with painkillers just DULLING the pain. I've never had such an adverse reaction to BC in 20 years that I've been on it. To women who regularly deal with debilitating periods: I am SO sorry you have to go through it . It is AWFUL. I dont wish that on my worst enemy F 37 30 days

 5  Stabilize hormonal cycles Minor weight gain that could easily be attributed to my poor diet more than the pills I'm pleased. I've reacted negatively to other brands in the past and the Mirena was a 6 month long helliah nightmare. My body really likes the balance or hormones in this pill and I plan to keep taking it. Starting 2nd pack tomorrow, skipping placebos F 36 1 months

 1  Birth control Painful cramps, tiredness, Bartholine cyst I have been getting painful cramps every couple hours that are worse than my period cramps. Also, I started taking this pill Sunday morning. Monday morning I noticed a small hard lump on my vagina, on my labia majora to be exact. I started to look up what it could be and it looked like it was a bartholine cyst. It said I could wait it out for 2-3 days to heal on its own and if it didn’t to go see a doctor. On day 3 I went to go see my doctor because it had only gotten bigger and painful. I tried the medicine they gave me, cleaning, ointments, and it is still only getting worse. I had never gotten anything like this whatsoever until I started taking this pill. F 21 7 days

 2  To help with acne and stop periods Started taking on 1st day of period. At furst only issue was brown discharge like spotting. Which was ok. Face cleared up, ni emotional issues but some insomnia. Then...Horrible cramps that started on week of last active pills. I skipped the placebo pills and yesterday srarted new pack. Still cramping like crazy, period hasnt come, which is what i wanted. Very small amount of brown discharge nit enough to call it spotting. I have mixed feelings about continuing or stopping. Side effects arent unbearable but this constant is a nuisance. Breasts arent as sore as when i first started but i have gone up a cup size. But i also have bloating and gas. Every positive has a negative i guess. I say give it 3 months as they recommend to see if symptoms regulate and subside. F 36 22 days
