I'm 23 and within the first 6 months of taking Camila I have an ovarian cyst the size a baseball, a benign tumor in my breast, haven't gone more than 2 weeks without getting a full period and my hair is falling out in handfuls. This pill is ruining my life... I'm done

I started taking this pill because I would have terrible periods (cramping to the point where I couldn't move, vomiting and fainting) and because I suffer from migraines so my doctor didn't want to put me on a pill with estrogen. The first month was difficult, my mood swings were insane, I was crampy all the time, my breasts were tender (something that never happened before) and my period continue ... Show Full Comment

I started taking this pill because I would have terrible periods (cramping to the point where I couldn't move, vomiting and fainting) and because I suffer from migraines so my doctor didn't want to put me on a pill with estrogen. The first month was difficult, my mood swings were insane, I was crampy all the time, my breasts were tender (something that never happened before) and my period continued as normal. Now, I am 5 months in and remain unsure of this pill. For instance, in November I had a magical three day period with almost no flow and no side effects. December's period was a full EIGHT days of Niagra Falls and mood swings that set me off into a sobbing fit over things like my boyfriend showing me a picture of a puppy. I haven't noticed any weight gain or increased acne or headaches since I started Camila; however, I have noticed increased emotional instability especially around my period. My periods do remain irregular but I am used to that by now so it's not anything particularly bothersome. All in all I'd give it a B. What are some minor inconveniences when I don't have to worry about getting pregnant?

I've been on Camila for over a year now. My gyno decided it was best for me because I'm close to 35 and I smoke so she refused to give me a combo pill. I have no side effects on Camila and as long as you remember to take the pill around the same time everyday, it's effective in preventing pregnancy. I chose to take mine in the morning right after I drop my son off at school and that time has ... Show Full Comment

I have no side effects on Camila and as long as you remember to take the pill around the same time everyday, it's effective in preventing pregnancy. I chose to take mine in the morning right after I drop my son off at school and that time has worked well for me since I never forget to take it. Camila is the only form of birth control I am using with my partner and it's worked fantastic for me. It's much easier on the body than the combo pill and you simply take one pill a day (even during your period) at the same time each day to get the maximum pregnancy protection.

I was taken off of Yaz when I turned 40 because of the estrogen in it. Yaz worked very well for me. After month two of being Camila, I am miserable. Two weeks straight of headaches, I have gained over five pounds, increase in acne, very vivid dreams and lack of restful sleep, my blood pressure is up and I am an emotional wreck. Also, hair loss.

I have just stopped taking it in hopes of regaining some normalcy and balance in my life. This was an awful experience for me.
