For Birth Control "I was on Quasense for five years, starting when I was 14. I should’ve switched a long time ago. It gave me horrible nausea every time I started a new pack, to the point where I started to stop eating the night I took the first pill along with a nausea pill. It gave me acne, weight gain, and depression. It did NOTHING for my abnormally heavy and painful periods. I switched to Isibloom only a week ago, but I already love it. No nausea, I’ve lost 2 pounds and gained a cup size. I’m giving it a 9 because I haven’t been on it long enough to see what it does for my acne or for my periods!"

For Birth Control "So I have been on birth control since I was 18. I am now 26. I was on only prescription birth control pills for 7 years. When my last prescription ran out and my family doctor had a 3-month wait, I decided to use the pill club.com, they prescribed me Isibloom. I took it for 1 month and 2 weeks. Let me tell you, if you haven’t already started your pack, DO NOT TAKE THE PILLS. My experience on the 2nd week of taking them was awful. For the 1st month, I was nauseous for weeks! I couldn’t get myself out of bed because it made me so depressed. I only dragged myself out of bed when I had to go to work, and on my days off, I was in bed just restless and so emotional. When I was at work, I had moments I would just cry over the littlest things, and when I was at home with my bf, I would act so bipolar and argue over anything and everything! So now I stopped taking the pills for 3 days, and I am back to feeling normal. DO NOT TAKE THIS BRAND. DO NOT ORDER THEM ONLINE."

For Birth Control "I have been on Isibloom for five months now. I currently have zero complaints. For the first month, I felt zero side effects. By the second month, my cystic acne had cleared. By the third month, I started to become nauseous constantly and lost my appetite. By the fourth month, the nausea cleared. The reason I originally began taking Isibloom was because I had severe period cramps that would send shooting pain down my legs. My cramps have been much better since starting the pill, and I haven’t had the shooting pain in five months. I’m currently sexually active and baby-free."

For Birth Control "I've been on it for about a year. I went from never on birth control before to this one. The first 3 days were full of nausea and migraines, but after that, it's been fine. No weight gain, no tender breasts or acne, no mood swings, it's mostly fine. I've noticed a decrease in my libido, but it was already super high and spontaneous, so it's just average now. If you already have a low libido, I wouldn't recommend it. My periods are a lot better, less painful, but just as heavy. It's okay overall for me."

For Birth Control "I started this birth control in late October to prevent pregnancy and to treat mild acne. My only negative symptom is nausea (without vomiting) before bed. My partner does not use condoms, and I haven’t gotten pregnant. I LOVE this birth control! Not only did it make my skin clear, my bra size went from a B to a D in just a few months. Everyone’s body reacts to birth control differently, but I 100% recommend Isibloom!"

For Birth Control "I have crazy PMS. I mean crazy. I cry a lot, I'm nauseous (I even vomit some months), get heat flashes, acne, horrible cramps, mood swings, etc. This is why I was not afraid of any birth control side effects because I live with these bad problems regardless. I took birth control (through the pill club and was prescribed this) because of my symptoms and because I've been sexually active for a few months now. I took it a week before my period, and those symptoms seem to have been minimized so far. I have a very high sex drive, however, the pill makes it a little harder to get turned on. I've had okay sex so far and also very great sex (my advice is to use a good amount of lube. It fixes the problem). I've only been on it a week, but so far so good. I will, however, be back to post a review in a few months to see if my symptoms have changed. So far so good, though. (: All bodies are different, but if you're anything like me, I would consider trying this pill."

For Birth Control "I literally was convinced I was one of the prettiest women on Earth until I started taking this pill. It messed with my confidence so much I cried about my body and face daily. I have never been this insecure in my life, and I have never been this sad in my life. I also have constant headaches, nausea, and I cannot stand any types of sounds overlapping without getting overwhelmed."

For Birth Control "At first, I was terrified to start taking Isibloom birth control due to all of the horrible reviews I read. However, it is working pretty well for me. It cleared up my acne, I have no weight gain, and I also don’t see any depression side effects. I was nauseous the first few days taking it, but I’m pretty sure that was just my body reacting to something so new. I’ve also been on it for six months."

For Birth Control "I've been on Isibloom for 6 months now to prevent pregnancy. The first month or so, I experienced nausea when taking it, along with breakthrough bleeding for the first three months. After month three, that actually completely went away, and now I'm side effect free! It definitely made my breasts a cup size bigger and makes me carry my weight in my lower body. The one thing is when I skip periods and then have one the next month, it is BAD... like changing my pad every hour bad. They used to be worse while I'm not on birth control, so I'm not complaining. Love it!"

For Birth Control "I saw a few reviews on here saying to ignore the negative ones and that it really wasn’t that bad, so I gave it a go through pill club! The worst mistake. I stayed on it for 5 months because I thought the side effects would go away, and they never did. I bled for three weeks at a time at random intervals, sometimes only a few days apart before it started again. I had constant suicidal, depressed thoughts that I hadn’t struggled with before the medication, and my nausea was insane. Think twice and talk to your doctor before starting it because I wish that I never had. I didn’t get pregnant, though, so if that’s your only concern, go right ahead."

For Birth Control "I got Isibloom through The Pill Club. During the first week, I took the pill in the morning, and I would get very nauseous, have headaches, and tender breasts. After reading some reviews, I decided to start taking the pill at night, and symptoms went away. After taking it for two months, I've noticed that my appetite changes every day - sometimes I'll be very hungry or not hungry at all. However, I haven't gained any weight from the pill. Also, my mood swings calmed down by the end of the second month!"

For Birth Control "Please don’t be scared to try Isibloom because of all the seemingly negative reviews. I am 20 years old and have been on Isibloom for almost 3 weeks now. I have had ZERO side effects. The only thing that happened was the day after I took Isibloom for the first time, I felt a little nausea in the morning, but after that and since I’ve been feeling great! The pills are SUPER tiny, which I love also. I am taking Isibloom for birth control as well as to stop my period, and it was free through my insurance, but I pay a $15 copay for 3 packs so that I can stop my period! Isibloom is great!"

For Birth Control "I started Isibloom in April, and I wanted something that would stop my period. It works, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, the pill does its job. But in the beginning, I experienced mood swings and nausea, which is understandable because your hormones are changing once you begin. But one thing for anyone looking at taking this pill, I will warn you about now: don't miss a single day. Doesn't matter if it's past the time you're supposed to take it, still take it. I missed two days, and I'm having the worst cramps and heaviest period I've ever had. And for me, that's insane, I used to vomit from pain and had heavy periods before the pill, but this takes the cake. It's a sharp, persistent pain, almost to the point I want to see a doctor. But so far, that has been the worst thing to happen to me. So if you want to take Isibloom, do so. But be warned about the side effects of missing even just one day."

For Birth Control "I was really excited to start taking birth control. I was almost 19, in a relationship, and wanted to be safe. Plus, there were other benefits to taking birth control, such as lighter, regular periods and improvement in acne. When I first started taking Isibloom, I felt myself getting nauseous sometimes and cramps in my pelvic area. About a week after I started, I had gotten a cramping feeling in both of my calves, so I had to take ultrasounds to make sure there was no clotting. Nothing there, and I continued to use it. I noticed myself getting more sensitive and very irritable, but I figured it was a side effect. I would get sad for no reason. I would get really anxious sometimes. I disconnected with a lot around me. I didn’t have the energy that I did pre-birth control, and I definitely did not feel like myself. It progressively got worse, and my mental health was bad. Everyone’s experience is different. I stopped the birth control a week ago, and now I feel more like myself!"

For Birth Control "I wanted to get on birth control because I have had so many scares with men. Although I'm not in a relationship as of now, I just wanted to be prepared. I do have insurance, but going to the doctor all the time is so annoying, so I tried the pill club and they only charge me $10 for shipping and handling. I'm on my 8th day of taking this birth control. I have always been an emotional, moody individual, and I think these pills make it worse. It's been up and down. I want to see what will happen after a month. I used to always be nauseous, especially riding in a car with someone, but so far that hasn't been an issue. I'm scared about the red discharge I'm seeing that so many ladies talk about. If this doesn't work for me, I'm going to get an IUD."

For Birth Control "I have been on Isibloom for 6 months, and that has been my only use for preventing pregnancy and has worked great for that. The first 3 months were my body getting used to the pill. I was feeling nauseous, and my mood swings were all over the place. I was worried it wasn’t going to change. Now at 6 months, I feel normal. That second week, I still get emotional, not depression, but every little thing will make me cry, like “I love my boyfriend too much” or “awwww, that’s so cute,” kind of cries. Other than that, it works great."

For Birth Control "Almost on my last row of Isibloom, and I wanted to share my experience so far... The first two weeks of taking it, I was having pretty severe nausea at night. I take my pill at 6:30 p.m., and around 10-11, I would start to feel very nauseous, and it would last until 1 p.m. the next day. Now I haven’t been feeling too sick, but I have been getting random stomach cramps. I'm guessing because my period should be here soon. I feel as though I have been a little more emotional lately, too, and having random mood swings, and also I’ve noticed some eyebrow hair loss. Other than these small inconveniences, I've really had no other problems. Hoping everything starts to become normal and my body gets used to it."

For Birth Control "Geez! Since this is pretty much my first real experience with BC, I don't really have much to compare it to, but let me tell you ladies something - this pill beat me down like I was in a street fight. I'm 35 and only taking it as part of my IVF process, but headaches are just the tip of the iceberg. I am nauseated the entire day, even though I take my pill at night. I have a fever and hot flashes that make me so angry I want to SCREAM! I have no appetite and lost 6 lbs. in the 9 days because I am also nauseous. I haven't experienced a yeast infection or any spotting, but there is ZERO love-making to get had and my husband is very kind and understands my feeling yucky is a side effect. His issue is my inability to control my emotions. If I'm not furious, I'm crying my eyes out. Save yourself!"

For Birth Control "This pill Isibloom started out great with little to no side effects and seemingly does its job considering I’m not pregnant. However, after 3 months, I began to experience severe mood swings. I cry all the time over little things and sometimes nothing. I also get uncontrollably angry and lash out on everyone. I have no motivation and I’m depressed most of the time. Some other side effects I’ve noticed were painful periods, nausea (to the point that I actually fainted), weight gain, and bloating. This pill is not worth taking, it greatly affected my mental health. After today, I will no longer be taking Isibloom. I absolutely DO NOT recommend."

For Birth Control "Everyone's bodies will react differently, so keep that in mind while you're reading through these reviews. I've been taking this for 2 months now, about to start my third pack. My first month wasn't bad, I practically had no side effects. I cried a couple of times, but I was also going through a lot of changes in my life at that time, so I have no idea if the pills amplified my emotions or not. The second month was pretty horrible. I had really bad nausea that I've never experienced before. I would be sitting there, and I'd constantly feel like throwing up. That eventually went away, but then the sadness/mood swings came back. Again, I don't know if I can blame the pills because I do struggle with mental health, but I feel like it amplified that sadness. It was more like once a week. But now that I'm starting my third pack, it hasn't been as bad. In summary, I experienced some nasty side effects, but they weren't every day, and they didn't last too long."

For Birth Control "I got prescribed Isibloom after I had complications with an IUD. I took it at night around 7-8 pm the first day, and I was up all night with nausea and vomiting. I felt severely nauseous the next day, as well. I decided to see if it would get better after a week of taking it. I missed 3 days of classes because of the nausea, but no vomiting. I thought it was getting better, but I couldn't eat really anything since I had started taking Isibloom. Taking it later at night didn't really help either, as I would wake up the next day still extremely sick. I ultimately decided to stop taking it after the vomiting started up again after two weeks of taking it."

For Birth Control "I've been on Isibloom for almost 4 months. It's the first BC pill I've ever taken. I experienced extreme nausea immediately after taking it for about a month. Other than that, I've had no other side effects. I didn't gain any weight or experience mood swings. I also noticed that I don't get much acne (or any) anymore, but I'm not sure that's 100% because of the pill. Basically, I think the first month is the worst, but it's worth it if you push through!"

For Birth Control "I haven’t been on Isibloom for very long, but so far it's the best birth control I’ve ever been on. I don’t get cramps anymore, my periods don’t last as long as they used to, it doesn’t cause nausea and indigestion like my last one did. I'd like to know if it affects my mood because I haven’t been on my meds, so if anything, that’s probably why. And best of all, it doesn’t cause vaginal dryness or decreased libido like my last birth control did. So I'm pretty pleased with it, and hopefully, all the positives continue as I continue to use it."

For Birth Control "Currently on the first week of my second pack, and I’m still not too sure about how I feel about this birth control. I’ve taken two other types of pills before trying Isibloom and never had noticeable side effects. However, I’ve definitely noticed a few with this pill. The first week, I noticed that I had terrible mood swings, but those stopped between week 2 and 3. Since classes have started back up, I have started taking my Adderall again, so I am not sure if my appetite and weight have decreased from that or from this birth control, but I have lost about 10 pounds since the first month of taking Isibloom. Another issue that I have had is terrible discharge. The flow of it is very heavy, and it honestly has a slight odor that I am not fond of. I’ve also been randomly nauseous for a few minutes at a time and become lightheaded/dizzy when I stand up too fast. Other than these things, this pill has been okay so far, and I hope it works out!"

For Birth Control "I have been on Isibloom since around October of 2019 (a year and 8 months). I got prescribed the pill through the Pill Clubs online service. My first year was phenomenal! However, around November of 2020, I started having terrible constant nausea. I took several pregnancy tests that all came out negative. Around the same time, my depression became a lot worse, my anxiety was through the roof, everything made me cry, I had a never-ending yeast infection, and I lost all my libido (+ intercourse became painful and uncomfortable). Last week, I stopped my birth control to let my period come (it’s been a few months) and all of a sudden I feel like myself. My libido is back, I no longer feel bloated or nauseous, and my mood swings evened out. My period ended 6 days ago, and I’ve been back on the pill, I’m back to feeling completely terrible! Tonight I’m extremely nauseous and can’t even sleep. I’m going to stop taking it!"
