I cannot wait to be done with Apri!! After reading all the reviews I am thoroughly convinced that I need to switch meds. I have had to schedule taking the pill before bed because it instantly makes me sick to my stomach after taking it.

I cannot wait to be done with Apri!! After reading all the reviews I am thoroughly convinced that I need to switch meds. I have had to schedule taking the pill before bed because it instantly makes me sick to my stomach after taking it. For the first 2 months I was almost positive it was morning sickness, that's how bad the nausea is. My breasts are MUCH fuller to the point of being in pain. I have absolutely NO sex drive. I have had to work out twice as hard to stay in shape, and the breakouts are out of control! I have NEVER had so much as a small blemish my whole life, but this pill has me with 3-4 constant blemishes. Horrible mood swings, and frequent migraines.

My 16 year old daughter was on it for a month and half before she got a PE and died from it. Please DO NOT go on any pill without demanding a blood test to see if you have a blood clot disorder. Doctors do not tell you about it cause the insurance companies do not cover it. Do not put your life or your childs life at risk

I started using this after I had my daughter. I was totally against birth control (problems with others I had been on). But little did I know apri is not much better. I have now decided to go off of it.

I have now decided to go off of it. I did rate 3 stars for the effectiveness due to I have endometriosis and ovarian cysts and I have only had 1 cyst in 2 years of being on this but the down side is I am hungry a lot of the time,no sex drive (which is hurting my relationship), moody, tired, and the migraines are enough to drive me insance. I have had to literally drive home crying and then call my fiance when I get home to come out and get the little one and help me in the house. I can't do anything (including caring for my child) for atleast two days while on the sugar pills (normally starts on the 3rd day of them). My fiance finally said well then stop taking it. No pill is worth you feeling like this. I haven't gotten pregnant or as stated earlier had many problems with cysts but not sure that outweighs the way I feel everyday.

My other pill caused extreme mood swings but with this one my mood is level. My breasts got larger as well. I also haven't noticed any weight gain. I break a bit more than usual but it is very minimal.

I do not have much of a decrease in sex drive. My mood is a lot more easy-going on this pill than with out.My appetite is a lot bigger than before, and my breast have grown. My weight fluctuates between 110 and 118. I have no bloating what so ever. My periods are on time and painless. But, I can feel my period coming, accompanied by light spotting.

I do not have much of a decrease in sex drive. My mood is a lot more easy-going on this pill than with out.My appetite is a lot bigger than before, and my breast have grown. My weight fluctuates between 110 and 118. I have no bloating what so ever. My periods are on time and painless. But, I can feel my period coming, accompanied by light spotting. My acne is extremely unnoticeable, maybe one or two blemishes a month. I have had two "accidents" during sex since I have been on Apri, and have yet to get pregnant. I take this pill at night time before I got to bed, between 9-10 pm. Before I started Apri, I had horrific migraines that would keep me home in bed all day, and painful cramps that would make me double over in pain, Apri has done away with them completely. This is the only birth control I have ever used and would never switch. I recommend you take them at a time you will definitely remember each and every day with in an hour time span from the last day you took it.
