My OBGYN referred to low dose birth control pill for me. I started taking it, and within 1 week of the pills I started having various symptoms. Itchiness, burning and hurting. I waited a few days until the pain was unbearable and made an appointment. To find out it was yeast infection. I immediately stopped taking the pills, and now my cycle is heavier and have clots.

Iâ??ve been on Lutera for a few years, which worked fine until over the past 4 months, I was starting to have cramps and longer periods. I wanted to switch pills and doctor prescribed this as a trial. It had the exact same level of progesterone and with a bit of iron, so why not? The last 3 weeks using it were awful.

I wanted to switch pills and doctor prescribed this as a trial. It had the exact same level of progesterone and with a bit of iron, so why not? The last 3 weeks using it were awful. Severe mood swings, feeling dull and empty inside, no interest in having sex with my husband, mild nauseas, very painful swollen breasts, and feeling so bloated and uncomfortable in my clothes. I didnâ??t get cramps which was nice, but overall I donâ??t like this brand. I refuse to stick with it in hopes of my body getting used to the hormones. No way!

I have been using this birth control for about 3 years and it works. I did not experience any changes in my mood or body, but keep in mind that my body is not sensitive to the side effects of medicines.

I would not recommend this birth control to anyone who has history of high blood pressure. Mine was fine when I took lo loesterin and once my insurance switched I had to take Junel fe and that was when I started having health problems. I had crazy mood swings and even caused numbness through my arms and chest . This is not for everyone! I’m still scarred

I've been on this pill for about 6 months. No severe side effects. But what's been concerning is not having a period for 6 months now. I've had negative pregnancy tests, so the pill is obviously effective. I've seen my doctor twice in this time, she's given me the option to switch but I'm not sure. I just don't know if I feel completely comfortable with continuing to no ... Show Full Comment
