I started this BC in late January or early February and so far, i love. i did have a long, weird mood swing that my boyfriend pointed out. my ance stayed about the same; a few breakouts here and there every so often. I'm 2 weeks away from starting my first period since being on it. Hopefully, it shortens mine!

I have taken Amethia for almost a year and 6 months now and have had no problems. The first 3 months I had extreme breast soreness and break outs I had really high libido and no problems with acne or break outs. The next three months the breast soreness went away and not quite as high libido but still good. I have yet to have a problem with bleeding or spotting before this pill I would usually hav ...

I have yet to have a problem with bleeding or spotting before this pill I would usually have 7 day heavy periods. Now I have about 4 day light periods every 3 months which is awesome! and you can skip your period if you like as well! which is so great. However on the week of your period its not quite as bad cramps but still pretty bad!!

This is the first time I take any form of birth control, so from the start I did my research of the many types and brands. At the end of the day I chose Seasonique-lo, but because of a miss-communication with my Dr I got Amethia (or rather the generic for the regular Seasonique) Right away I looked up reviews and I was honestly freaked out by the many negative reviews here.

This is the first time I take any form of birth control, so from the start I did my research of the many types and brands. At the end of the day I chose Seasonique-lo, but because of a miss-communication with my Dr I got Amethia (or rather the generic for the regular Seasonique) Right away I looked up reviews and I was honestly freaked out by the many negative reviews here. I decided to go ahead and try it out anyway since BC works differently in each body. I am so happy to say that it's worked out great :) I started my pack on the day of my period by Dr orders (and biologically speaking it is the best time to start since your cycle is just resetting) So that I think helped with my body adjusting quicker. Pros: I don't have mood swings. If anything I feel "calmer" now without the monthly fluctuating of hormones. Higher libido. Cons: My first period lasted about 2 weeks and then 2 weeks later, I got my period again for like 3 weeks. It was light but annoying for me and my man. Just ride it out. It gets better. It's just your body adjusting. Tips: Take it at the SAME time each day. Set up your alarm on your phone. I have two alarms. A warning like 3 min before and at the exact time. Trust me. It helps. Also, I started a healthy lifestyle regimen around the same time I started taking this (coincidence). I eat clean, stay away from junk/processed foods, drink over 4 liters of water everyday, weight train and cardio 4+ days a week, and take fish oil and multivitamins/minerals. Lifestyle and nutrition plays a HUGE factor on how your body reacts to medicines, so definitely keep that in mind. Just give it a shot. Don't give up after the first crummy weeks. Your body usually takes about 6mo to a year to get used to any birth control. Good luck! :)

I was taking Amethia for 1,5 month and I started to experience spotting like blood cloths. During 1 week it got worse and I started to have vaginal bleeding as a regular menstruation. I am gonna call to my doctor. I gained 12 pounds and my mood like a crazy.

I have been on Amethia for about two years and can gladly say I have had no problems. It's the first birth control pill I tried so my body didn't get used to one pill and then get tossed a different one, maybe that's why my experience has been so good.

I have been on Amethia for about two years and can gladly say I have had no problems. It's the first birth control pill I tried so my body didn't get used to one pill and then get tossed a different one, maybe that's why my experience has been so good. It's takes your body awhile to get used to these hormones so give it at least 3 months before quitting. I have sex with my fiance regularly and have had no mishaps. I have no spotting between periods and they are usually very short. They are heavier than when I wasn't on birth control but that's to be expected when you only get a period once every three months. Hope this helps!
