I gained 25 pounds while on the POP after I found out, I couldn't handle estrogen birth control, and what makes it worse, I won't ever have to worry about getting pregnant. Can't get pregnant if you have no sex drive! I think I would rather deal with the estrogen crap...

Like many others, I can no longer take normal birth control pills due to migraines with aura, so my doc switched me from Yaz (which was actually great for me) to Jolivette. The good news is that I didn't get pregnant in the 6 months I was on it. The bad news is that my skin looks the worst it's ever looked--huge, painful are currently covering my face. I also get about 5 days per month without ble ... Show Full Comment

I also get about 5 days per month without bleeding. Not only do I get a full period biweekly, but it comes with all of the cramps/bloating/mood swings/acne and everything else bad about periods. I took my last pill yesterday. Never again.

I am writing this review to encourage women to at least try this method of birth control. I cannot take pills with estrogen due to migraines. I have not had a child and am not breastfeeding. I have just finished my first pack and have had no problems. I spotted a bit in between periods but that has happened in the past before starting this birth control. I have gained no weight, I've had no moods ... Show Full Comment

I am writing this review to encourage women to at least try this method of birth control. I cannot take pills with estrogen due to migraines. I have not had a child and am not breastfeeding. I have just finished my first pack and have had no problems. I spotted a bit in between periods but that has happened in the past before starting this birth control. I have gained no weight, I've had no moods swings, and my apetite is the same. I have noticed some light cramping randomly, but nothing unbearable. Overal I recommend this medication. Please do not decide to not take this medication due to negative reviews. These reviews almost stopped me from taking this medication and I am glad I tried it. Each one of us reacts differently to a medication. Your doctor is not going to prescribe you something that they think will harm you, and if they do then please go to a doctor you trust.

I never realized til reading these many reviews of this pill what has happened to me. I used to be such a happy calm person and ever since being on this pill, I have become deeply depressed, angry, tense, and at times suicidal. I am scared of myself at times because this is NOT me...
