Comment:
Well, I haven't gotten pregnant, so that's good, but overall I think I believe there to be some major side effects. The two major are weight gain due to a significant increase in appetite. I can't stop eating...and I'm on Weight Watchers so that is never good! I also have a decreased sex drive. Does its job, but not satisfied, will probably change yet again...l

This is the second birth control pill I have been put on. The first that my doctor put me on was not strong enough. But, I am completely satisfied with this pill. I have no spotting and my nearly unbearable cramps that I previously had have gone away. My periods are extremely light now as well which is a plus! They are also very short and only last about three to four days. The only side effects t

Comment:
Birth control is going to effect people differently, people treat their bodys differently. After 3 years of taking Levora, I've decided to stop. Pro: it does what its suppose to, birth control! Cons: hair loss, low libido, fatigue, spider viens, brown blotchy skin on face, weight gain, and mood swings. Looking for a more natural method of birth control.

Comment:
This is the fourth type of birth control I've tried (others include Zovia, Yasmin, and Tri-Sprintec) and Levora is by far the best. I literally have NO cramps and my periods are light and painless. I used to have cramps so bad I'd cry and be unable to move but this pill has cleared up that issue entirely. It also helps balance my mood and I experience way less (if any) PMS. My acne has not cleared
