DO NOT take this medication. You will have your period twice a month, and experience bad side effects. I thought maybe it would regulate after 2 months, and the side effects did not stop. This has been a frustrating experience, avoid this medication.

I gave it five stars for effectiveness because I'm not pregnant and five stars for ease of use because it's just like every other BC pill out that. I've taken this for somewhere between 8-9 months now. I honestly cannot stand this birth control and am going to stop taking it today.

I gave it five stars for effectiveness because I'm not pregnant and five stars for ease of use because it's just like every other BC pill out that. I've taken this for somewhere between 8-9 months now. I honestly cannot stand this birth control and am going to stop taking it today. Since I started taking it my lower abdomen has been constantly swollen (maybe just bloating but constant). More recently I'm sick to my stomach all the time, I have incredibly headaches that just pop up out of no where. My vision is weird and changes through out the day. I'm breaking out EVERYWHERE which has never happened before. I'm having crazy discharge and my period just shows up whenever it feels like it. The only time all of this goes away is when I don't take it to have a period! I shouldn't feel better while I'm on my period than I do when I'm not! That's just not normal! This is definitely one of the worst BCs I've been on. I know every woman is different but this one really doesn't seem to agree with people.

I gave this a try for 4 months now. I'm breaking out worse than I ever have and have gained several pounds. I have also been far more depressed and crying easily which I have never had an issue with. I really don't like this b/c. I only gave it one star because it wouldn't allow you to give 0 stars.

They stopped making Loestrin Fe so my pharmacist gave me this drug. 2 weeks into it I started crying all the time, spacey, depression, and having panic attacks. I took myself off of the drug and my doctor has given me Minastrin and I feel like it is doing the same thing. Stay away from Gildess!!!!! HATE THIS DRUG!!!!
