I think I'm having an allergic reaction to it. I have huge hives all over my body and I'm extremely itchy.

I was on Zovia for several years until the last 6 months on it, like clockwork, I became very hormonal during the 2 weeks prior to my period to a point which was detrimental to my relationships and my job because of the negative and destructive change in my emotional and physical state. I was told that hormones change in late 20’s and it was due time to switch birth control’s. I switched to Beyaz. For the first month, I experienced a very sluggish, tired, inability to focus phase for about 2 weeks. This phase also consisted of a dull look to my skin and dark circles under my eyes. I don’t know if it’s from the fatigue or just the hormones. I also had break-through bleeding during intercourse (never happened previously) which was very uncomfortable for both my boyfriend and I. I also had a delayed period as from my past birth control. I overlooked it since I felt that my body was adapting to the new hormones. Now on my second pack of pills, and in the 2 weeks phase of fatigue, dull colored skin, and intermittent headaches, I’m hoping this is just my body adapting to the new pills and this does not become a routine every single month. I will give it probably one more month before I consider any changes. On a different note, for me, the positives with the Beyaz is clearer skin, a light period (equivalent to just spotting), and not having the destructive hormonal phase as with my other pill.

I started off with Yaz a few years back and loved it. I went off bc completely for about a year and a half after that, then decided to try Beyaz.

I started off with Yaz a few years back and loved it. I went off bc completely for about a year and a half after that, then decided to try Beyaz. The first month was awful, I have never been so moody and emotional and my poor fiance had to deal with it. The pill did reduce cramps and clear up my skin, but that's about all the good it did do. I started getting migranes randomly while on the pill that would make me miss work. On top of that, it reduced my sex drive, but that's not the worst part. Since on the pill, I formed a two tumors on my liver (begnine), but was told that it can rupture if I continue on the pill. The only reason I gave this pill 2 stars is because it actually cleared up my skin. It has been the only cure for my acne in 12 years. But, I would take acne over a tumor any day.

i have been on previfem the past year and thought it made me a little more emotional/sensitive so at my annual review i spoke with my doctor about trying something new. she recommended beyaz and gave me 4 months worth of free samples. she said it's one of the only birth control pills that are known to be "mood enhancers", so i figured i'd try it out. i finished my pack of the old pills and then started my first beyaz packet. i was feeling sick that entire first week and after feeling worse day by day i looked into my lifestyle changes. the only "new" thing was my birth control, which at this point i had been taking beyaz for about 5 days. i was sooo lightheaded and nauseous and dizzy and drowsy. my eyes were so heavy, i couldn't think straight. sitting up, laying down, anything and everything made me dizzy. i am so thankful i figured out what was making me so extremely sick! i called me doctor the next morning when i figured this out to get back on my old birth control. i have been off of beyaz for two days now and still feel sick. a little better but sick nonetheless. hopefully these hormones leave my body soon as i can start feeling like myself again!

I started taking this 2 years ago, when I was 21. Loved it! The first week or 2 was crazy, I was very emotional, swollen tender breasts, nauseated, that sort of thing. But after the 2 weeks, I was perfectly fine! My period was light, no cramps, and only lasted a few days! Now my periods last about 2-3 days, super light, no cramps, and I never spot.

But after the 2 weeks, I was perfectly fine! My period was light, no cramps, and only lasted a few days! Now my periods last about 2-3 days, super light, no cramps, and I never spot. However, I do need to change because my insurance no longer covers this brand. I am very upset that I need to change, but I can't afford paying $95 a month for this! But I highly reccomend it.
