For Birth Control "I’ve been on this birth control for 6 years and am very happy. I had very painful periods that would cause me to vomit from pain before. Now I have absolutely no period on this pill and love it. I skip the placebo pills and haven’t had a period in years. I do not want to have children, so I’m not concerned with any infertility issues. I tried other pills that gave me mood swings, breakouts, and weight gain. This pill actually makes me feel normal - when I’m not on the pill, I feel like my appetite is crazy. This pill helps regulate my appetite, helped clear my skin, and I have no periods at all for years. I’m very happy about all of these effects, and I will continue to only use Natazia."

For Birth Control "I began Natazia at 14. I'm 21, so I've been on it 7 years. I have severe endometriosis, which is why I began the pill to treat it and preserve fertility. I've had laparoscopy. Natazia made my periods very light and short or often disappear. Pre-BC, I had 12-day periods that were incredibly painful and heavy. Now, I rarely bleed more than a day or two, even if I take the placebo. HOWEVER, I believe Natazia has caused incredibly severe and chronic issues for me: appetite disorders, milia around my eyes, severe anxiety, crippling depression, insomnia, exhaustion/tiredness, constant bloating, 10 lbs weight gain, nausea, headaches, nonexistent libido, dull hair, and uneven skin. I am very healthy otherwise, as I am a college athlete and eat a plant-based diet. I really am considering stopping BC altogether, this is truly unbearable. I'd rather bleed for 12 days than feel this way."

For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "Absolutely incredible pill. Natazia feels like I'm not even taking anything. No side effects at all other than really dry skin - no big deal. Without BC, I have nightmare periods that are horribly painful and insanely heavy, that have been ruining my life and causing anemia. I was out of options as no other BC pill (I tried Loestrin, Sprintec, Apri, and Ortho Tri-Cyclen) was helping my symptoms and just caused a bunch of intolerable side effects and constant breakthrough bleeding with even worse cramps. This pill solved all my PMS symptoms and period issues and has given me a balanced mood and light, pain-free period that arrives exactly on time. I can't even comprehend how amazing I feel. This pill is changing my life. It seems too good to be true, so I really hope it continues to work this well! If you don't tolerate other BC, definitely try this!"

For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "I have been on this pill for 11 months. One thing with me for this pill is that I have to be very careful to take the pill when I'm supposed to. If it's a few hours or early the next day and you remember, it's ok. If I miss a whole pill, my period was messed up. Before this pill, I had bad cramping and horrible 7-day periods! I have no side effects, my periods went from super 7 days to very lite 2 days. This pill is a lifesaver! Part of the reason I am on this pill is for my horrific periods, but the other reason is for an estrogen deficiency. I was experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, thinning in hair, etc. at 29 years old, now I have none of that! I recommend this pill... it has changed my life!"

For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "I am 47 years old and approximately a year ago, I started to have irregular, heavy periods, depression, and anxiety. After some tests, I agreed with my provider that I am in perimenopause and it is normal to have some changes in periods, mood, and you name it. I tried OTC medications and herbs with some temporary relief. Two months ago, everything got worse, so my provider prescribed Natazia, which is a lifesaver for me. No more irregular and heavy bleeding, my mood and libido returned to normal, less anxiety and depressed mood, and no weight gain. I am very happy with this pill. Unfortunately, the copayment is high. The insurance companies should adjust this, otherwise, women with similar problems will not be able to purchase the product and get better. What about equality, my friends?"

For Birth Control "The pill does what it’s supposed to do, but after a few years of taking this pill, I started having very severe migraines with symptoms indistinguishable from ischemic stroke. I do not recommend taking this or any hormonal birth control pill long-term. Upon stopping this pill, it took my body about a year to get back to normal hormonally, but the migraines stopped as soon as I stopped taking the pill."

For Birth Control "I've tried at least 5 different types of birth control, and none of them worked. I would gain lots of weight, they made me feel tired and sad. Natazia is a miracle!! I have PCOS and was bleeding for months straight-9 months straight to be exact. I was tired of it and was finally recommended Natazia. After 6 months on it, my period is finally down to 3 days a month!! My cramps have seemed to get worse, but it's better than bleeding constantly. Insurance gave me a hard time, but after fighting, it's free and I don't have to pay $300 a month. I wouldn't recommend any other birth control other than this one, with no symptoms and little bleeding, I couldn't be happier!"

For Birth Control "I have been on Natazia for almost 2 years. For about a year and a half, I haven't really had a period. Some months, it's absolutely nothing at all. Occasionally, I spot. Last year, I told the gyno, she said it's nothing to worry about. My skin doesn't break out on this pill. I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, my skin was terrible. I have gained a lot of weight since being on this pill, but the clear skin and no period are kind of worth it. I used to get terrible cramps and bleed a lot. Hope this is helpful."

For Birth Control "I had a tough time with my periods since day one. Always excruciatingly painful, bloating, vomiting, heavy and lengthy, 9+ days. I had to miss a lot of school and later on had to miss a lot of work. Quality of life was very poor. I always had to plan my life around when my period would be coming because I knew all plans would have to be canceled. Natazia changed all of that. I have been taking it for five years now, and these days my periods are super light for two days with no pain. Cons... since I've been on this pill, I've noticed my vision has gotten progressively worse, I am moody, I have gained about 10 lbs per year that no amount of diet and exercise seems to be able to fix, and finally, I have no sex drive, putting a strain on my relationship."

For Birth Control "I had terrible periods with excruciating pain and heavy bleeding. No birth control pill worked. I was depressed every other two weeks. It was a nightmare. I thought maybe I had endo, but a friend suggested Natazia. She had been taking it for a year, and her symptoms went away. I asked for it, and my life changed. I tell people that Natazia healed me - no period symptoms, no mood swings, no migraines, no pain! The fact that it's not one dose of hormones for one month makes so much sense - why did it take so long for them to develop this! It has different levels of hormones for each part of your cycle, giving you what you need or don't need! Don't give up if you don't see changes immediately - give it at least 3 months!"

For Birth Control "Started taking Natazia about 3-4 months ago. At the beginning, I experienced some breakthrough bleeding. My period would sometimes last for longer than seven days (up to 2 weeks). In the 3rd month, I experienced debilitating anxiety and what I think is depression (never been depressed before). What's interesting is that these feelings seemingly came all at once and rather suddenly. I've always been anxious, but this particular pill has over-amplified my anxiety. I had trouble making simple decisions without worrying about and obsessing over the outcome. Traveling, which I do a lot of, became a serious issue, which was never an issue before I started. Pros: my periods are lighter, and acne has improved. Yet, the anxiety, depression, and even weight gain are not worth it to me. I'm glad that I detected these signs after only taking it for a few months. If I opted to stay on it for longer, dealing with the anxiety, depression, and weight gain would have been unbearable."

For Birth Control "Awful experience. Took Natazia for 5 days and became so depressed and anxious. I would start crying for no reason and have serious mood swings and feel very irritable/annoyed at everyone around me. My vision became very blurry and my eyes were drier than normal (I have contact lenses). I was nauseous most days and felt very bloated. My migraines came back full force. I do not recommend this pill at all."

For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "I was prescribed Natazia because it has an extremely high dose of estrogen, which helped with my menorrhagia and massive clots. However, this pill caused me to experience mini strokes and made my doctors believe I had multiple sclerosis at 18 years old. An MRI showed that I was experiencing hemiplegic migraines and that this pill was the root cause. Do NOT take if you have a family history of migraines or stroke. This pill nearly killed me. But it did stop my period, which was good."

For Birth Control "This pill didn't give me any of the listed side effects, and my periods were only about 2-3 days (which is very short for me, loved that). If that was all, I would give it a 10. HOWEVER, it completely killed my ability to get aroused (wet). My libido was there, and I was very into the intimate moments, but I was very dry... unlike me. It also made my skin and scalp very dry too, it's like it sucked all the moisture out of my body. I switched to a different pill, and the dryness problems went away in about a week. Definitely not the right birth control pill for me."

For Birth Control "This is my 3rd birth control pill. I've always had long periods (7-9 days), and after my last pill gave me mood swings, no sex drive, and still long periods with spotting between periods; this pill has fixed all that. My periods are barely 3 days, and I have no spotting between periods, which is the best part. Well, that and the fact that it works to prevent pregnancy in 2 ways."

For Birth Control "I switched between 8 different BC pills for 3 years 8 years ago and have been on this one ever since I found it. My periods used to be never-ending. They would start heavy and last for weeks to months, with only a week or two as a break from the bleeding. My iron and potassium levels were out of control, and we were looking for a BC pill that would help control my body's apparent addiction. Natazia was it. I never once had any issue with it. No depression, anxiety, headaches, light-headedness, etc. My insurance, without warning, decided to not cover the $200-300 medication over the summer, and I had to petition them with several of my doctors to get them to continue to cover it for me. It turns out that most insurance companies looked through all the Natazia reviews and decided that the majority of people taking it feel that it doesn't help them. But I feel like if it doesn't help you, you are obviously going to come off it and try something new."

For Birth Control "I have been on Natazia for almost 2 months. I love it. I switched from being on Yasmin for 3 years. Natazia is a life-changer! My periods are amazing (if periods could be), and I've lost the weight I struggled to lose on Yasmin."

For Birth Control "For someone who has been on 7 different birth control pills, I'm pleased with Natazia. I have had side effects all the way from vomiting/nausea to water retention and mood swings on other pills. I have noticed NO side effects on Natazia thus far; I have been on it for 2 months. I am giving my positive experience on Natazia because I think it's needed. Hopefully, it will help others not to prejudge it. Give it a try. And if you're looking for a pill that gives you virtually no period, this will do it!"

For Birth Control "I was put on Natazia by my OB about a month ago to stop the growth of my ovarian cyst, heavy periods, and cramping. I did notice I was a bit moody, but it shrank one cyst to half its size. I lost 10 lbs in the first month. It lightened my cycle the first four days, but it's day 10 with no end in sight. I decided to stay on it for my cyst, though."

For Birth Control "I just started the first month on this pill. I was really anxious starting BC again because I had horrible experiences with other kinds of pills, including Ortho-Cyclin, Ortho-Tri-Cyclin, Sprintec, etc. All of those pills made me feel constantly on edge and extremely nauseous. I was told to wait it out and suffered for 9 months with nausea and panic attacks almost every day, and my skin and periods didn’t even improve. This is the first pill I have taken that I haven’t experienced any side effects! I’ve only been taking it for 2 weeks, but with the others, I could tell within a few days. I think this pill is better since the kind of estrogen in it is converted into your “natural” estrogen in your body, plus the dosing increases so gradually the first week. The only downside is that I started to spot for a few days if I’m late by even a few hours, so I have to make sure I take it at the exact same time each day."

For Birth Control "After Triphasil was removed from the market several years ago, I struggled to find a pill that worked for me. I tried Trivora and Lo-Ovral, but my libido completely left me, and I had horrible mood swings most of the month. Eventually, I got off the pill altogether. After 3 years off the pill, I needed to get back on because of bad cramps, and my doctor suggested Natazia. It has been 5 months now, and I am thrilled with the results. The first 2 months, I did not have a real period, just some spotting, but now I seem to have leveled out into a predictable cycle. I have a few days of spotting 1 week before the inert pills, then I have a period that literally lasts only a day. No cramps, minimal breast tenderness, and I feel like myself."

For Birth Control "Have been on 3 other pills before Natazia (Microgynon 30, Marvelon, and Brevinor). Had many, many symptoms with these pills, including constant breakthrough bleeding, nausea, vomiting, headaches, increased appetite, and bad moods. I thought I would be one of those women who couldn't go on the pill at all. Then I tried this pill (having heard it's more 'natural' and a four-phase pill), and I cannot believe that I haven't even had any symptoms at all. Nothing, AT ALL! I would seriously recommend this pill if you have had problems with other pills, especially regarding breakthrough bleeding."

For Birth Control "I have been using this pill since September. It is my first time using birth control pills. I am 30 with a beautiful son, and my husband does not want any more kids. I spot most of the month. In October, I spotted the first week and a half. Then I began spotting again the last week. This is too much. I did not like being on my period before the pill, and it was regular then. I have also had a breakout on my face. I did not have acne this bad when I was a teenager. I am not sure if this pill is for me. If things do not change this month, I will have to find another pill to try."

For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "Diagnosed with adenomyosis at 30 due to heavy, out-of-control periods with extremely large clots. Fourth month on Natazia, and it's reduced my periods to only 2-3 days of a light flow. Light enough where panty liners suffice. It's brought my life back to normal."

For Birth Control "I have been on this medication for two months. I was given Natazia to control my heavy periods and painful cramps. Month one, I still had heavy cramps and flow for seven days. Now, in month two, my period has been 11 days and heavy each day. My flow and cramps are actually heavier now. Extra strength Tylenol is not strong enough."
