For Birth Control "Please, please, please, avoid this pill. I was given this pill around the age of 34 because my periods became very irregular and heavy. I took this pill for 3 months and I gained 30 lbs. I just started feeling heavier and heavier. I stopped after 3 months of taking it and I started having chest pains and losing my breath frequently. I now have hypertension that I can't get rid of even after losing the weight I gained. I'm not a fit fanatic but I do eat well and exercise some. I'm now on 60 mg daily of blood pressure medicine and I blame this pill! This pill forever altered my life and I can't wait for a class action lawsuit to follow for poisoning us!"

For Birth Control "I'm taking blisovi for a while now but I've noticed it causes my panicking to spike up to the point where ive been waking up every day at 4 am and puking and diarrhea for hours It is debilitating and causing me to miss out on my life. It gave me acne, I have to hold back tears and rage fits constantly and I'm becoming so mad. I was on prozac with it for a while but I thought thats what was making me puke so I stopped taking it and its still happening. Also I have constant like weird taste in my mouth almost like I'm hungry all the time and it bothers me because I'm unable to eat anything due to the constant panicking I'm getting. The only thing blisovi does is keep you from getting pregnant if you even dare to try not feeling rubbish enough to have sex."

For Birth Control "In a sea of horrible reviews I felt like I should share my extremely positive experience. I was on a birth control pill before blisovi and had an absolutely awful experience. Insane mood swings and the like. However, on blisovi, I feel like myself again. I never have any PMS, didn’t gain any weight, no pimples. I do feel like I’m a bit more emotionally sensitive than how I am without the pill, but I’ll take being weepy over people withholding information because they’re afraid of how I’ll react. The only change I’ve really seen is my booty got considerably bigger and I am definitely not complaining about that."

"My obgyn Dr prescribed Blisovi Fe to regulate my hormones...he stated they were irregular due to being estrogen dominant. At first it made me feel a spacey unbalanced feeling. Then after a couple of weeks starting experiencing severe anxiety and neck pain. I immediately stopped it..neck pain went away. Tried another time, neck pain came back and spike in bp. Just to make sure I tried it again 3rd time later to rule out cause and starting having severe neck pain with tremors, dizziness, high blood pressure..which ended me going to the ER. Informed my obgyn Doctor immediately and he said that medication does not have those side effects. I never experienced anything like this ever! He would not prescribe anything else. I have since decided to see another obgyn dr elsewhere. I still get intermittent dizziness and a unbalanced feeling. Not sure if related"

For Birth Control "Do not take this pill, after 2 months I am changing due to weight gain, anger, mood swings, extreme exhaustion to the point where I can't stay awake past 9pm. I do not feel like myself, I have awful anxiety that I have never had before, the exhaustion is to the point where getting through the day has become an issue."

For Birth Control "I find this birth control good. You’re going to have side effects with every medication you’re just going to have to get over it. I have been on this birth control for 4 or 5 years now and I love it. After about a year or two my periods have stopped completely. I do have low sex drive but oh well just another way the birth control works is how I think of it. It will take time for your body to adjust. I recommend if there are a few side effect in the begining to just see if they stick around. It will take any birth control 6 months to a year to get used to your body. It’s free with my insurance."

For Birth Control "While everyone reacts to birth control differently, I had an awful experience with Blisovi Fe 1/20. I started breaking out with acne on my face, chest, and back about 3 weeks in after not dealing with bad acne for years. Though the acne was annoying, the worst part of this medication was what it did to my mood. I got depressed, moody, and extremely paranoid. I have been on 2 other types of birth control before this and neither effected my mood anywhere close to what Blisovi did to me. I have been off this pill for about 6 weeks and am returning to my normal self. While you may not have the same experience as me, please be aware that this pill can and does cause extreme mood changes and depression as well as acne!"

For Birth Control "Been taking Blisovi Fe for about a month and I noticed after the first 2 days of taking it that it increased my appetite like I always wanted to eat was never full. Then after a week of taking it I noticed that I had diarrhea at least 3 times a day and that alone drained me. All of the little energy I did have the longer I took it the more the energy disappeared. I realized that it wasn’t the food I’d been eating it was the birth control. Then I started feeling sickkkkkk to my stomach the worst stomach aches EVER in my upper abdomen, lost sleep I wouldn’t recommend this birth control to my worst enemy I have a 3 year old and a 9 month old that I have to take care of and on top of the Diarrhea loss of sleep at night and the severe stomach pain I’ve decided to discontinue using this birth control it’s not worth my health."

For Birth Control "I was on Junel Fe and my insurance changed and I’m on blisovi Fe and it’s the same pill but generic. I love it! I used to have really bad cramps were I would have to go home from school or work and take a hot bath for hours. If I didn’t take an Advil as soon as I got my period I was in for a horrible day. When I started this birth control I get light cramps that are tolerable and I don’t need to take Advil it have a heating pad. I only have my period for 2 or 3 days and then it’s done."

For Birth Control "I was put on this medicine for extreme cramping and heavy periods. I can say that this particular BC has been helpful in making my pain less severe and lightening my periods ! On the other hand I absolutely HATE the side effects. It makes me so moody and depressed and just not myself. I end up getting headaches once a week and all I want to do is sleep. It seems like my appetite fluctuates a lot more now than it used too. It seems like my PMS has gotten way worse on this medication. I’ve been on it for about 10 months so it’s not just settling into the hormones."

For Birth Control "I have been on this pill since April of last year, it is now November 2019. Six months ago I experienced a dramatic change in my weight. I walked around with a feeling of being bloated even without eating a meal. Nothing had changed in my life concerning my diet. I eliminated eating meats to see if that would help me lose a few pounds. That didn’t help as much as I wanted because the weight stayed and the feeling of being bloated was still there. I did a self evaluation and realized the only thing I take daily is my birth control pill. I looked up reviews to see similar experiences and that immediately made me reach out to my doctor."

For Birth Control "At first it made my sex drive non-existent... but after a while of taking it I feel back to normal, if not better! Honestly, it has made me happier and more energized. The pharmacy tried to change me to another one today... no way. My sister also takes this one and loves it too. I recommend it to my friends looking to start a lower dose pill. Most reviews are negative, but remember ladies, everybody is different, reactions are different. If it doesn't work for you, change it to one that will."

For Birth Control "Ive been taking this for almost 3 months (on my last week from the 3rd month) and I have NOT had my period yet. 1st month I mean I didn’t really get the side effects, my cramps and headaches were a bit more bad than before but nothing too bad. Sex drive is still the same, love having sex. But no period slight spotting for 2-3 days that’s it. Second month no period at all same cramps and headache and a bit of diarrhea (very uncomfortable). On my 3rd month sticking with it because of doctors recommendation. If I don’t get my period this month I may switch because not getting my period freaks me out lol. I have taken other birth control pills (when I was 18 so I forgot the name) but I did not have these effects I got my period the second month it was very light but it was there lol. I may stick around for the 4th month to see if I’ll feel better but so far I’m not really happy about this pill"

For Birth Control "I have been on different birth control before, but this one was the worst of them all. Before this pill I never had acne and now my acne is the worst. I also get sad and emotional all the time it’s really bad. Finally talked to my doctor and made the switch from this pill.."

"Blisovi Fe has made me have a huge decrease of sex drive. This is probably the one and only disadvantage of this pill that was obvious. This has caused issues for my boyfriend and I since sex is very important in relationships. I am in the process of carefully trying new ways to boost my libido which is already helping a bit. Despite this, the pill has changed my life. I started my period fairly young and I would get the most horrible cramps. There were so many days where I had to get picked up because of how bad my cramps were. I could barely move, I would be super nauseous, extremely dizzy, bleed a lot, and it was overall so overwhelmingly painful. I managed to control it a bit as I got older but once I started taking these pills, that pain went away! I stopped bleeding so much. I am now able to live a normal functional life when I get my period every month. This pill has also helped with the horrible acne that I had as well. My face is so clear now! I would rate this pill an 8/10."

For Birth Control "I had been on Microgestin previously with absolutely no problems. I loved it, but all of a sudden it wasn't free anymore and that's when my insurance told me I would have to keep paying for it or switch to a new generic -- Blisovi. I switched thinking they were one in the same. WRONG. First off, I got very itchy. It made my skin very sensitive and I started breaking out in a rash towards the end of the first week. I also noticed it was heightening my anxiety, it made me very erratic and aggressive. It also made my vision blurry. After ruling out other things, I stopped taking it on a hunch and immediately everything went back to normal. I don't care if I have to pay, I'm going back to Microgestin. Blisovi is HORRIBLE."

For Birth Control "Headaches. Back pain. Nausea. Cramps. Periods heavier and longer than without it. Heavy spotting a week or two after my period. Absolutely horrible. Ratings are 3/10 everywhere. Unsure why it's still being prescribed if so many woman suffer symptoms."

For Birth Control "Ok, so I started this pill September of this year It Dec 24 - almost Christmas and I am total not feeling the Christmas spirit. This pill has made me gain incredible amount of weight, my breast hurt like anything to touch, period has been 2 weeks on (I was taking this to regulate my period), I feel tired, I do not want to hang out or be seen by anyone. I am in my room 24/7. I really want to stop this pill"

For Birth Control "The pharmacy switched me to this pill because they didn’t have the other one at the time. The first month was fine but then I started to have all sorts of side effects which at first I didn’t associate with the pill: loss of sex drive, vaginal dryness, loss of hair, no periods at all, hot flashes, sleep issues. At first I thought I was going to menopause at 37 years old!!! But I decided to stop. It has been a month and the symptoms have all gone away. I was also having joint pain which I didn’t think were related to this and it has gone away too. If a pill can have all these side effects it is definitely not worth the benefits. I would highly recommend to use something else."

For Birth Control "I have been healthy all my life until I started this pill. I'm 20 and in perfect health. One day my arm randomly turned purple and became weak and numb, this continues for a couple days. After the second day i went to the hospital where they told me it was all in my head even though my left arm was twice the size of my right. My primary care doctor referred me to a very good cardiovascular surgeon who found a blood clot. A week or so later my lips had begun to swell along with my tongue and throat. After one more test and a visit to a neuro doctor I found out I now had two blood clots one in my neck. This doctor connected it all to this pill. It happens that I'm that 1 in a thousand, 20 years old and in perfect health this pill would have slowly killed me if I would have listened to that first hospital or never would have done anything at all. I warn everyone be careful because I would hate for this pill to ruin anyone elses health in the ways it has mine."

For Birth Control "The first four months on this pill had me spotting for the majority of the time. I was really moody all the time and would cry over any little thing. As months went by, my periods got shorter and lighter, but I developed extreme anxiety. The anxiety turned into depression and I didn’t feel like doing anything all the time. After 8 months, I stopped this pill and I’m going to be taking Gianvi. Hopefully I will start to feel like my normal self again, but I do not recommend taking this pill. If you start getting depressed and anxious out of nowhere, blame this pill!"

For Birth Control "Worst birth control ever. My pharmacy randomly switched me to this 6 months ago after I had been on Microgestin for 2 1/2 years. Since being on Blisovi, I have gained 10 lbs, fainted twice, have horrible headaches and dizzy spells, nauseous constantly, no appetite, very sad, and get angry very easily. I also have barely any sex drive whatsoever. I barely have energy to want to do anything. I could sleep all day if I let myself. I've never felt so horrible in my entire life. After getting sick of gaining weight and fainting, I am finally stopping the pill. It is not worth it. BC is literal poison to the body. This brand just happens to be the worst one."

For Birth Control "Honestly, my experience has been great. I've had close to no side effects. I take the pill at 5pm and eat dinner shortly after to prevent nausea. Occasionally I'll feel a wave, but I'll just eat something, drink tea, or go to bed and all is well. I am purposely skipping my period by consistently taking this and have had no spotting, although I felt cramps on a couple days during when it was supposed to be. Other than that, it's been great! Will update if need be in a couple months."

For Birth Control "The pharmacy filled my birth control prescription with Blisovi without telling me that they switched me from my normal BC (Larin), and I've had nothing but problems!! I've been so moody since starting it, I'm breaking out with more pimples than I ever had before, and I've had a period every other week for the past 2 months! My periods have always been normal, so getting 2 in a month worried me but I let it go as I was stressed. The next 2 weeks I got a 3rd one so I called my gyno and went in for an appointment. I've had other kinds of pills before, and none have been as bad as this one. The worst thing is that they couldn't put me back on Larin until I finished the 3rd month of this because I got a 3 month prescription when I got it filled! I can't WAIT to get back to my old prescription because this is just horrible! I've been fatigued extra the past few weeks as well likely because I'm already anemic and losing extra blood on these extra periods isn't helping."

For Birth Control "I've been taking Blisovi Fe 1/20 for 5 days. I used to take Lo loestrin years ago, now that I started birth control again my doctor prescribed me Blisovi. The first day was good no side effects. The second day I felt a little tired and did not have an appetite. The third day, Sunday, I felt horrible. I had a very bad migraine, was nauseous, threw up I felt horrible. On Monday I felt a bit better, I was still nauseous, did not have an appetite, but the headache was gone. Today, day five, I feel better, I still feel very tired but no nausea and my appetite is back."
