For Birth Control "I knew there was going to be a little nausea at first, and yes, t was bad. But it cleared up after the first week. The next month, it came back worse, and extended into the month past that first week. The third month, my first week I could only lay around and vomit. Pros: my breasts and butt look great, good birth control, regulated period with wayyy less pain. Cons: severe nausea & vomiting, couldn't eat right for months, my normally short periods became long. If you are still dealing with nausea well into the second month, consider changing medications."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I'm 27 never been on birth control before in my life .I'm due for surgery to remove a polyp on my uterus. I was also told I couldn't have kids per HSG testing. So I'm having laparoscopy surgery as well. I was put on birth control to stop my period or thin my uterine lining. I'm 3 and 1/2 weeks into the active pack and I'm still bleeding. HELP ME PLEASE"

For Birth Control "I have been taking Mononessa for about 6 years now. I have had no undesirable side effects. My periods are always on time, there not heavy at all, and last generally 4 days, sometimes 5. I have experienced no nausea, and no cramps. I have acne, but I had acne as a teenager, and then it went away and came back years later, so I don't think the birth control is the culprit. I pay nothing out of pocket, and the one time my insurance did get cut off, it was $28 which I did not feel was completely unreasonable. And most importantly, I have not gotten pregnant since being on it."

For Birth Control "Severe nausea and multiple near-puke experiences. Almost threw up on a kid at my job serving him food, made certain foods sickening to smell or look at. Craved unhealthy foods which I did not partake in, so no weight gain. Did its job to regulate periods, not sure about the pregnancy prevention since my doctor recommended still using condoms for the first month. I liked this one, it sucks that the doctor switched my birth control pills to something else right when I had stopped getting the overbearing, chronic nausea. If you feel nauseous, wait it out. It will pass. Maybe try an anti nausea medication with it until the first month is over."

For Birth Control "I got my prescription from PP after previously using Chateal and having an awful experience so my expectations were not high. However since using Mononessa for 3 months now, I have had the best experience. No weight gain, feelings of depression, or pregnancy. My period is a day longer but all in all it is lighter and less painful. The only negatives I have noticed is that I have small breakouts and cravings."

For Birth Control "I was originally on Lo Loestrin Fe which made me bleed like crazy and once I started this pill it stopped it. PROS: No weird bleeding, normal period. CONS: I feel like I am going crazy. I am an emotional wreck and I am normally a very calm person. I feel like crying every minute and not to mention that but my sex drive is completely gone. Birth control just isn't for me I am going to stick to condoms."

For Ovarian Cysts "I never had a history of DVTs; I'm not overweight; I do not smoke; I work out EVERY day and am generally healthy. I started taking this because I was developing ovarian cysts ALOT. Having said that, I still developed a DVT in my arm, and now I have to be on Coumadin for the rest of my life and administer Lovanox Shots in my belly twice a day."

For Birth Control "I was on Trinessa but since it has been discontinued I switched to this. Its working great for acne on my face but I am getting back acne more than usual. The main problem I am experiencing with this birth control is that I am so tired all the time. No matter how much or how little sleep I get I feel like a zombie."

For Birth Control "I read a review before I started taking this that I relate to so much....all I think about is food on this pill! Luckily I haven't had any other side effects, I'm almost done with my first pack. I'm constantly thinking about food, I'm talking 24/7. Even right after I've eaten I'm back to craving salty, fatty foods that I normally didn't crave before this. Worst of all is that I'm craving MEAT. I've been vegetarian for over a year and never craved or thought about meat the entire time until I started this pill....I hope it stops soon because it's disturbing for me."

For Birth Control "I've been on this pill for almost a year now, and this is the only birth control I have ever been on. My period is erratic, and has been 4 days late before. I have insane cravings, and went from having regular light easy periods to long painful ones. The second month out of the three month pack is always the better month, but I am certainly switching. Also lost about 10 pounds, and nothing I've tried works to gain it back. Every body is different though! Good luck on your birth control quest!"

For Ovarian Cysts "Now let start this real quick I know we have different bodies from one woman to another. I’ve struggled with PCOS for years I had my first bc by age 22 it was ok I had after the mononessa I had no issues, it fixed my greasy hair and stopped me from losing hair and reduced my pain during my period. Somehow mononessa disappeared from the market I tried trinessa, I had nightmares and stupid moods. After that I got estryllia I had reached a level of deep depression and lost of appetite that’s was just a bad bad idea Now I’m back to this amazing pills that I’m eating better and my moods are better Just wanted to share with you that"

For Birth Control "I agree with Rebecca. So far no pregnancy, and I hope it continues but I have been on the pill for 10 months and my period is still messed up. I've been on it for over a week now. It'll come a week early then a couple days later. I was really moody, but it's gotten better. I was going to switch birth control methods but am very relieved that someone else is having the same problem."

For Birth Control "When I started Mononessa a year ago, the first month I had headaches and cramps, but they went away after 1 cycle. Sometimes I get breakthrough bleeding, but for the last 2 cycles I have not had any breakthrough bleeding. My skin has cleared up with no acne."

For Birth Control "I’ve used this birth control for about a year. I constantly would get my period with a week left of active pills so I always found that odd. I didn’t gain weight but I did get melasma on my upper lip. With the constant getting my periods earlier than expected, I finally switched to something else."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I've been struggling with irregular periods for over a year. I was constantly on my period with only a few days break each month. I tried taking minastrin but I contin to have irregular periods since it was such a low dosage. I just started mononessa (about 3 weeks in) and so far I havent been on my period at all which is great!!!"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I’ve used this pill for 7 days & I’ve been on my deathbed ever since. This is my first time taking any form of birth control. This pill made me so nauseous & dizzy that I couldn’t get out of bed. I have a very regular system if you catch my drift & This pill LOCKED ME UP. I’ve been having painful bloating & gas pockets & nothing I’ve tried yet had been able to relieve it. I’ve been scared to eat because my stomach is already so full & nothing’s moving. It’s also caused some substantial cramping. It makes me SO exhausted. I've been taking 4+ naps a day. This pill has been ravaging my system & I don’t really see an upside to it. I’ve been trying to give my body a chance to adjust but I will probably discontinue use."

For Birth Control "I thought I was pregnant, I was nauseous, throwing up, extremely exhausted, dizzy, and hot flashes. I am not saying everyone will react this way I just know I feel horrible I tried it for the 28 days tomorrow I am going to get a different kind."

For Birth Control "It has worked incredibly well for me, and I rarely ever get pimples. I have never gotten sick, either and my periods have been manageable. I've been on this for about 5 months now, but one thing is I did gain a ton of weight. It wasn't really a bad thing because I already was incredibly skinny. I started out 100 lb and I'm now 115. But the problem is that all the weight went straight to my stomach. I look incredibly bloated all the time and have to suck in to try and look normal. I have a feeling strenuous workout is necessary to make the pill worth it."

For Birth Control "Mononessa has been great so far , I started with minastrin and then I switched to sprintec. I was experiencing serious weight gain from sprintec and finally made the switch to mononessa. I have experienced breakthrough bleeding but only due to my own irresponsibility . I am rating this 10/10 because my experience without the condom has not resulted in pregnancy. I am starting to have some concerns though. Sometimes I get these very weird headaches , its almost as if I'm dehydrated . I'll drink tons of water but that doesn't seem to help. And this month I have become very irritable and upset over just about anything . My moods are out of control and i just feel so hopeless sometimes."

For Birth Control "This is my first time on any birth control. My doctor originally prescribed Yaz but after reading the reviews I decided I didn't want to try it and asked for Ortho Tri Cyclen. The pharmacy gave me mononessa. The reviews were a bit better so I decided to give it a try. The first day I took it I was nauseas and had chest tightness and a rush of adrenaline for some reason! I don't know what happened but I felt on top of the world! The second day was a bit better and I felt normal. I'm on the third day now and I'm feeling a little nauseas but mostly bloated."

For Birth Control "I have taken and tried many different types of birth control pills and Mononessa had been the absolute worst experience of my life. 1mg of mononess and three days of taking it made me cramp daily and painfully. I thought it would get better but my symptoms contributed to get worse as my period got closer. It got to the point where I could hardly sit up right. A month into it and on my period I had to take days off work because the cramping was distracting and unbearable. It lightened my period but I would rather have a heavy flow than be in that much pain ever again. I recommend Levora for you ladies. Do not go through what I went through. Good luck."

For Birth Control "I began taking Mononesse April 28th 2015. I was admitted to the hospital on June 10th with an arterial blood clot and hundreds of small clots in my right foot. It had cut off ALL blood flow to my foot. The doctors tried everything to get rid of the clots. They got the one in my artery to break up but couldn't get the ones in my foot as some were as small as a hair follicle. June 23rd I was in surgery having a below the knee amputation. I am 33 years old and been an athlete my whole life. So physically I have always been strong, so I expected no problems there. Whew, it is definitely a lot harder than what I expected. It has affected my entire life, as I have had to learn to do everything differently. No person should ever have to go thru it"
