"Due to being diagnosed w/ Polystic Ovary Syndrome, my doctor put me on Yasmin but later switched me to Levora. This birth control has its pros & cons. Pros: I never got pregnant, even though I was a little inconsistent w/ the time I took it & sometimes would even forget. Cons: It did not help w/ my acne. I was easily irritated & would be depressed when my period was coming. It was very difficult to shed pounds & very easy to gain weight, so I had to be cautious w/ my food intake. I always had headaches, & felt tired and lazy a lot of the time. Birth control effects everyone differently, but I would suggest trying another brand before trying this one."

"My experience with Levora has been amazing. The first month of taking it, I did get a lot of nausea, but that is something that comes with starting any new birth control. After my body got used to the medication, my acne started to go away, my periods were way less painful, my mood has been more stable, and I don't struggle with the usual PCOS symptoms that I originally had. I've been taking this medication for almost a year now, and I can't explain how much better my periods have gotten. I've tried many other birth controls for my PCOS, and none of them seem to work as well as this one. If you have PCOS, I definitely recommend you give this a try."

"I was given Levora because I was diagnosed with PCOS. I have been on a different pill about 2 years ago and I went off due to side effects. I must say that Levora is HORRIBLE. Not only did it give me stomach cramps and bloating 30 min after taking it, but it also made me feel really really tired just 2 weeks into my first set. I am also moody, depressed and with absolutely no sex drive. So bad so that I can't even stand my husband touching me. So yeah, job well done on one hand: I will never get pregnant because I don't feel like having sex. At the end of this one month, I am going off the pill and I will try more natural ways. Goodbye pills for the rest of my life!"
