For Birth Control "I honestly was so afraid from reading the reviews on this pill. Been on it for a month and: No vaginal sensitivity, sex drive is fine, boobs are fine, no nausea, no spotting, I have been sleepy, but I work a lot, so (?), my mood is normal, if not improved... Trust me, folks, it's not everyone. I gained 100 lbs on Junel, and if anything, I've lost weight on Isibloom. I got it through the pill club. I'm having my usual moodiness towards period time, but nothing else. Don't be too afraid. Also, don't think too much or you might cause yourself to experience non-existent symptoms!"

For Birth Control "I’ve been on Isibloom for about 5 months now, it was my first time ever using birth control, and since I was finally in a serious, stable relationship, I thought it was best to go on birth control, and my boyfriend agreed with me after I told him. I’ve seen many negative reviews, and that scared me a lot at first, but this medication has not given me any type of side effect that concerned me in any way! I am still full of energy, I get my period like clockwork now, which is something I haven’t been able to control since I first started getting my period, so that was a blessing! Also, I see no signs of weight gain or mood swings. The only thing I can say is I’ve been bloated sometimes, and the first week I had a little bit of nausea, but that went away very quickly. Overall, this is a good choice for birth control!"

For Birth Control "I felt like I needed to post my positive experience on Isibloom since there are so many bad reviews on here!!! I was kind of terrified to start it after seeing the reviews, however, it’s been the best BC I’ve been on so far. I was a little nauseous the first pack I took, but not horrible. My skin is great, my mood is fine, sex drive didn’t change, and I don’t have any spotting or breakthrough bleeding (which I always have on other BC), also, it’s quite affordable! Works just fine for my bod. Give Isibloom a chance."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on birth control for 5 months, but my doctor recently changed me to Isibloom. I’ve been on Isibloom for almost 3 months, and the first month was normal. Then the second month got worse - at first, I thought I was pregnant (also keep in mind I take my birth control at 9 am every morning and never missed one) because my breasts hurt, I had headaches, nausea (without throwing up so far), and a couple other symptoms. Then I looked up Isibloom side effects, and it all made sense. Hopefully, next month things get better."

For Birth Control "Ok, so I received the Isibloom via the Pill Club, and oh my Lord, so far this is perfect. I say try it longer than two days because yes, I got nauseous, but only for two days. After that, nothing. I feel the same as before I started, and nothing bad about it. So don’t let the other reviews scare you because this will work different for everyone. GET YO BIRTH CONTROL, GIRL."

"I have been taking Isibloom a bit over 30 days only to put my cycle back on track. Will completely stop taking after next month. Pill is okay. Causes nausea. Intercourse is not fun, there's a loss in your sex drive and natural wetness decrease. TMI, lol."

For Birth Control "I was on Isibloom for almost a year. As long as you are within the weight guideline or BMI, it works. I took mine at night around 9 pm so I wouldn't get nauseous. The pills are super small. I didn't have insurance, I got a 3-month supply for only $15.90. They are amazing to work with."

For Birth Control "On month three of Isibloom, and it works! Not pregnant, and my boyfriend finishes inside most of the time. I’ll be honest, the first month was awful, the nausea was bad and headaches. But once my body got adjusted, it was fine! I do get the headaches a tad bit, but would rather have that than worry about an unexpected pregnancy. It works! I would say to try it for three months before switching."

For Birth Control "I received Isibloom from the Pill Club. The first month was kind of crazy. It made me extremely nauseous, my boobs hurt all the time, and I definitely noticed an increase in anxiety, depression, and just overall mood swings. I didn’t notice a difference with acne (but I’ve been lucky enough to never really have a problem with that). I decided to stick with it though, and I'm glad I did because after my body adjusted to it, everything else leveled out. I’m now on month 3, and the ONLY issue I still have is ongoing breast tenderness and occasional breakthrough bleeding (but it’s such a small amount that it’s not troublesome or a hindrance at all). I also have not gotten pregnant, so it evidently does its job. I’ve previously been on other birth control pills that literally turned me into The Incredible Hulk, so the side effects from Isibloom have been relatively mild by comparison."

For Birth Control "I've been on Isibloom since July. The first two weeks, I suffered headaches, and at times I felt nauseous. Since I was using this pill to skip my period, I had breakthrough bleeding for a few weeks. However, I decided to have my period this month. Before birth control, I had 7-day periods that were quite heavy the first 4 days. Now my period lasted 3 days with light flow. I have not gained any weight, in fact, I was able to lose 5 lbs through frequent exercise and somewhat watching my diet. My acne is under control, and I rarely have blemishes."

For Birth Control "I got prescribed this. I am 25 and have 3 children already. I gave myself a year and some months' break from birth control since I was not sexually active but decided I needed to get on the pill because I started seeing someone and because I heard it could help with acne. So far, I am ten days in and I started on the first day of my period. It instantly made my period lighter and shorter. By day 3, I was only spotting and by day 4 my period ended. Usually, I have longer, heavier periods. I have felt some nausea, but I didn't actually throw up. I drank a lot of water and made sure to eat something before taking it. I do feel a little shaky for an hour after taking it, but it goes away. I hope I haven't jinxed myself, but after reading all the bad reviews, I thought I'd share my good review on it."

For Birth Control "I have been on Isibloom for 2 months now. The first few weeks were rough. I was nauseous and had tender breasts, and as of today the tender breasts are still happening. I haven't had any weight gain. It has lightened my cycle, which is only 2 days now. For the most part, Isibloom is great once you get back your body adjusting to the hormones."

For Birth Control "This is the worst pill I’ve ever been on. I took it for 11 days, and on the 12th, I had forgotten to take it until it was well past 24 hours. That day made me realize just what this pill had done. The past week and a half is just a haze of unimaginable mood swings (I’m usually laid-back and calm, I cried at least twice daily and even once got so crazy I screamed at my husband). I was sick to my stomach every night and threw up on three of the days. I had some kind of headache, whether small or almost migraine, daily. I couldn’t keep my contacts in all day because my eyes felt dry and irritated. That night (after forgetting my pill that morning), my husband mentioned I may be getting used to the pill and its side effects, as I was my usual self. So I haven’t taken another. I have an appointment with my doctor to figure out something different, I do not recommend this pill for anyone."

For Birth Control "I was initially really scared to start this brand of birth control because of all its negative reviews. But as a broke college student who had already paid for the medication, I figured I might as well give it a try. I take my medication at 7 PM every night. I haven’t felt any nausea or pains so far (I’m on my third pack). I have experienced some weight gain in my breasts and hips, but nothing crazy. I would suggest trying this out if you can, but be aware that everyone is different and everyone’s body is different. 8/10 for me."

For Birth Control "PLEASE READ THIS. Do not even consider taking this birth control. I received this through the Pill Direct Club. I have NEVER been so sick in my entire life after taking this pill for not even three weeks. I tried to get through it and hope for the best, but my stomach was in agonizing pain. Felt like I was being stabbed from the inside out. Had to call out of work for two days, would have been more if I could afford it. I could not stay off of the toilet. Constant diarrhea. Constantly nauseous. Headaches. I even thought I was going to poop in my sleep. IT IS THAT BAD. I saw the reviews on here and called to see if I could try a different birth control, and they told me they chose this specifically for me. Don’t listen to them. AWFUL PILL."

For Birth Control "Isibloom is a decent birth control. The first month of taking it, I had nausea, tender breasts, mood swings, and low libido. Those were completely gone after the first pack. It keeps me regular, having short and light periods is wonderful compared to the time with no birth control. I’d bleed for 12-14 days straight, and the flow was very heavy. So Isibloom birth control works great for me, and I hope it will work well for you as well. Definitely recommend it!"

For Birth Control "I've been taking Isibloom from Pill Club for almost 3 or 4 months now. I was very nervous about taking it because it was my first time taking birth control. And oh boy, did I change. I was angry all the time, always mad at something, felt like I was going to throw up all the time, my weight changed, I've gained almost 30-40 pounds (maybe that's because I live with my boyfriend lol), my acne was doing okay, but the changes in my period were great! My flow isn't as heavy, the first day it's light, but the second day it's heavy! The cramps are the worst on the first day, but after that, no cramps! My period lasts up to roughly 2-4 days, depends if Mother Nature wants to be nice. ALSO, this is coming from a girl that has sex almost every day or every other day, AND I'm not pregnant. AND we don't use a condom either. I would say this birth control is effective, but it just depends on who you are. And we all are entitled to our opinions. And taking the pill is worth all the struggles! Xoxox"

For Birth Control "I have been on Isibloom for 4 months now, and I have not had any major side effects. I am 21 years old, so it might be because of my younger age, but I did experience nausea and headaches for the first 3-4 days. I was up a couple of times throughout the night because I take them right before bed. Other than that, my periods are so much better now, nothing compared to before. I had my periods for 6-7 days with strong menstrual cramps to where I would need a heating pad and lots of ibuprofen. Now on the pill, my periods are a maximum of 4 days, and it is super light with minimal to no cramps. I am content with this pill, and I do not plan to change out this contraceptive pill."

For Birth Control "So far, I have been taking Isibloom for two weeks. The only side effect I experienced for the first 3-5 days was nausea, which I've heard was normal the first few days of taking birth control. I took anti-nausea pills (usually prescribed, I had leftovers), and I was fine afterward. I have been slightly less moody, my breasts finally seem to be evening out. Since then, I have NOT had any side effects."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on this pill for about 2 weeks, and this past week has been like hell on earth. Constant nausea, fatigue, and awful cramping!!! I started taking the pill to lessen cramps during my period because I get them pretty badly for the first 1-3 days. These have been worse than my period cramps and have been ongoing for about a week now. I’ve had bloating to the point where I look like I’m pregnant. I’ve gotten headaches on this pill too, they last for hours and feel like a dull pulsing pain. These side effects almost made me believe I was pregnant because they were so strange and came out of nowhere, but after reading some other reviews, I believe that it’s this pill. I am young, and I noticed other negative reviews have been from older women, so I thought I would have better luck. I have just been feeling awful for days. Ibuprofen has not helped either."

For Birth Control "If I could give this zero stars, I could... I’m so scared at what this pill is doing to me. This is my first time taking a BC pill, so naturally, I knew that I would be sensitive to the medication. I was nauseous, tired, hungry, sleepy, and light-headed when I first started this pill and tried to stick it out. It’s been a month now, and my cramps and diarrhea are awful... also, I’ve been bleeding for like a week straight. The whole point in me getting on birth control was to cut out my periods. They’ve never lasted more than 5 days, and here I am on day 7. I was trying to wait it out, but I can’t do it. Think I’d rather deal with my regular period times and cramps."

For Birth Control "Isibloom wasn’t bad at all for me. My skin got very clear. However, I would get a little nauseous at times and didn’t eat as often. It didn’t affect me much emotionally. So I’d recommend it. I had to get off because my insurance didn’t cover it anymore."

For Birth Control "I honestly did not hate this Isibloom birth control like I thought I would. I read a lot of negative comments about this birth control before starting it, but after being on it for about two months now, I haven’t really noticed any side effects at all, other than on the first day. The first day was the worst - I threw up, had diarrhea all day, and experienced the most excruciating period cramps of my life, so I was nervous to continue with it. But then after that first day, just...nothing. No side effects whatsoever, so I plan to stick with it. Overall, I’m very happy with this birth control and it seems to be effective at doing its job."

For Birth Control "So I've been on this birth control for 7 months now. It has been awful. I have had nonstop nausea, vomiting, extreme bloating, and mood swings that are horrible. I have also had severe depression and feel constantly sick. Went to the doctor finally. These pills have literally sucked the life out of me. Everyone is different, but I am going to stop taking these, they are horrible for your body. It does its job of preventing pregnancy, but the overall side effects are horrendous."

For Birth Control "The first year with the green packaging was amazing. The year went by as great as can be, very little nausea and pain. I order my medication through Pill Club, and this time I got a bold pink packaging. I don’t know if the ingredient in it has changed or what, but it’s been my worst living nightmare. Extreme pain that makes me not want to walk around without being in unbearable pain. Extreme nausea and back pain. Almost made me think I was pregnant, but I’m not. Thinking about getting a different prescription to get away from the pain because it’s too much and ruining my whole life."
