Kariva has been working great for me so far. When I first started I had a few headaches and had an upset stomach every once in a while, but that was only for the first week and it honestly wasn't that bad. My eating habits are pretty crazy, some days I will have no appetite at all while other days I feel like I need to eat everything in sight. I'm a High School athlete so maybe that has something ...

Kariva has been working great for me so far. When I first started I had a few headaches and had an upset stomach every once in a while, but that was only for the first week and it honestly wasn't that bad. My eating habits are pretty crazy, some days I will have no appetite at all while other days I feel like I need to eat everything in sight. I'm a High School athlete so maybe that has something to do with my crazy eating habits, I don't know. As for my weight I have stayed the same as I was before I started the pill. This pill has worked great for me so far, hopefully it will stay that way!

Absolutely love Kariva. Never gained weight, no headaches, my periods are light and short and I get no cramps at all anymore. I feel protected using Kariva and I couldn't be happier. I have to switch because it is going up in price, which is really upsetting because I love this birth control very much. I've been on it for almost a year

Taking Kariva for the past year and a half has been interesting. For the first 4 or 5 months I had a headache every single night after I took the pill. After they eventually went away I still had more frequent headaches than i did before I started taking the pill.

Taking Kariva for the past year and a half has been interesting. For the first 4 or 5 months I had a headache every single night after I took the pill. After they eventually went away I still had more frequent headaches than i did before I started taking the pill. I have gained about 15 lbs in the past year even though my eating habits have not changed a bit. I also lost interest in sex almost completely and forget orgasms-those are a lost cause. My clear skin is probably the one and only true difference I have seen. I stopped taking the pill about a month ago and since then my skin has started to break out more just like it was before I was on Kariva. I want to treat it naturally with supplements and diet changes this time because I would rather do what is better for my body long term. For me Kariva really has not been the best-it really made me depressed and moody! Ask my boyfriend, he can attest to that!

I started taking karivia a month before my wedding and when I went to get it I weighed 108 lbs which is where I have always been around. But a year later after I have been working out hard for about 2 months now and eating right I have gained 14 lbs! Which made me highly upset and shot down my self esteem real quick after thinking I have lost weight now gained. But I have had no problems with pregnancy or sickness and my periods r much lighter and shorter and no cramping. But I'm getting off of it cause I can't seem too loose weight on it.
