I switched to this medicine after another birth control medication. This birth control was great for the first three months. Then I started getting migraines. Its almost like my body retains way to much water now. I have not changed my diet but I see no need to, considering I eat decently healthy. Ive gained quite a bit of weight. I now have stretch marks. I notice I am way more irritable then nor...

I have been on this medication for 4 months. I have no side effects, except my breast get sore right before I start my period. Which is normal with any pill or period I've had in my life. So far so good.

I used to have 10 day periods on other bc pills, but now they are 3 days. I have few cramps. It is easy for me to remember because i have been taking the pill for 3 years and i am satisfied with the results. I do not have any breast soreness or spotting. If i forget 2 days in a row, however, i tend to get my period.

This pill has made me very ill. I have cravings from morning until night, gained water weight, my face is breaking out and I can't stay awake! This has been a very bad experience.

I started taking this medicine, and I am on my fourth pack now. I have had lighter period for only about 2 days, with less cramps. Both of my breast have been sore, but that is understandable. Even when I have missed a pill I have not expirienced any spotting. Overall, I am very satisfied with this birth control.

I've been on this particular BC for about a 1 1/2 months. The only real side effect I've experienced is severe soreness in the left breast and what feels like enlarged mammary glands. So for so good I guess.

I got sick from it and vomitted. I missed a pill and started a period with severe cramping and horrible blood clots.

I have experienced very frequent upset stomach, sometimes even vomiting especially on the first day taking my pill again after a week off. It makes me feel very bloated, I've gained about 5 pounds. I've also noticed more infections (Beta Strep, yeast, UTI, etc) since taking this pill. I don't know if this is associated with this pill or with the fact I sit down all day at my job, but my left calf is really bothering me - some pain, but mostly it feels like I'm not getting enough blood to my leg. It falls asleep a lot. I feel like I either have a damaged nerve or a clot - I am hoping it's the former, much as that is not good news either.Read More Read Less
