Very satisfied customer here. No cramps and acne which is a miracle for me. I rarely have headaches but, I did notice a slight daily headache in the first month. Smooth sailing ever since.

While Zenchent has been 100% effective for me for the last 5 years, I have experienced frequent headaches a week before menstruation and light periods (which my doctor said was related more to body fat than birth control). I thought maybe it was just my hormones at first, but after trying more frequent exercise and dietary changes to help regulate hormones and still getting the headaches, I'm ... Show Full Comment

I thought maybe it was just my hormones at first, but after trying more frequent exercise and dietary changes to help regulate hormones and still getting the headaches, I'm pretty sure it is related to the Zenchent. I think it's just too strong of a dosage for me. My doctor has recommended I switch to Azurette, will see how that goes.

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with eating healthy, but I do try to apply the 80-20% rule to my life (eating very well 80% of the time and splurging on little indulgences 20%). However, since I started taking this horrible birth control I noticed my mood changes and swelling on my hands and ankles. I d ... Show Full Comment

However, since I started taking this horrible birth control I noticed my mood changes and swelling on my hands and ankles. I drink a lot of water and hardly salt my foods, so what's going on? Also, I've been working out extra hard and just weighed myself today...I've gained 15lbs!! This is ridiculous... I'm getting off this pill right away. For those of you ladies who are seeing some irregularities, please talk to you physician or simply stop taking it and have them recommend another option.

This stuff is horrible. I've been on it for about 6 months. I was nauseated the first few months. I finally got over being sick and now I am having side effects from too much estrogen: weight gain, extreme fatigue, dizziness, anxiety, allergies, mood swings. I feel like I'm going crazy. I was going to quit cold turkey but was told that I needed to wean myself off, so I am trying to do tha ... Show Full Comment
