"This has been the worst birth control pill I’ve ever taken. I was on Sprintec since this year had started and recently started taking previfem (3 months ago) and had not stopped bleeding, mood swings are horrible, and makes you very bloated and gassy, and I would not recommend this pill to anybody !"

"This has been the first birth control method that I haven't had a poor reaction to. My moods have been regular and I've experience no abnormal bleeding. My breast have gotten a bit larger which is nice, but they are somewhat sore. Also, I've gotten a few stray pimples but nothing too concerning. Overall this has been a great option for me and I would recommend it to anyone seeking a new form of birth control."

"I started taking previfem about 4 months ago (I've been on it for about a month) and it was pretty awful. At the beginning my acne got worse and I wanted to eat everything. I actually thought that I was pregnant because of my mood swings and the fact that gained 10 pounds. After the 2nd month my acne totally cleared up but I was still gaining weight, when I went to the Doctor for a check up he noticed I was a bit heavier and thats when I got off it. It also made my face really fat ????"

"Before I started taking this I was on Gildess for about 2-3 years. My periods became so much lighter and it just made my skin that much better! I did gain a lot of weight with Gildess in the beginning but it soon shed off after a month or so. I ended up coming off of birth control (worst mistake of my life! I got post birth control acne at its very worse!) anywho, I went back to the doc and she prescribed me prevefim....... I've been on prevefim for a little under a year and I flipping hate it!! First of all, weight gain wasn't a problem.. But my acne is not under control at all. She said it was supposed to clear up my skin and it has yet to do any thing! Best thing about it is no babies. Do not use this!"

"Overall, this pill got rid of my acne. I’ve had severe acne since I was 12 and I’m 18 now. HOWEVER the first month I was on this pill I acquired a huge boil on my hip but I brushed it off thinking it was just a fluke thing.. nope! I’m on month 2 and I’ve now had one on my face and 4 on my legs. Also, my mood swings are outrageous"

"I have now been on my period for 11 weeks. I give up with it and will be switching. I have had headaches almost every day and I have gained a lot of weight. I was prescribed Prozac about the same time I started this birth control but after reading the reviews I think my symptoms are from this birth control rather than the Prozac. Anyways a period for 11 weeks would make any woman run away. This was an awful experience"

"Used this for 5 years, was amazing for the first 4 years, no issues. The last year I was taking it all of a sudden I had yeast infections every period, long painful periods and no sex drive what so ever. Over time the side effects just grew to be unbearable. I ditched pills all together and me and my boyfriend just use condoms for 5 months and all my symptoms went away"

"I'm not sure about this birth control quite yet. I was on trinessa back in November or so and it worked fantastic for me, cleared up my acne, no nausea or any other side affects. Then I got really sick and had to stop taking the pill for a month or two, and when I tried to get back on it I had continuous discharge for over 5 months so I decided to switch to the shot but didn't like it, so here I am. When I started I felt nauseous all the time, my boobs hurt, stomach pains and cramps, and worst of all my acne. I never used to get cystic acne, but now I get it all over my mouth, chin, forehead, and under my nose, I hate it I keep reading reviews, and it's freaking me out. I'm not sure if I should continue taking this or not for 2 or 3 month"

"First birth control pill I have ever taken and it's been 2 weeks, so far so good. I haven't noticed too many side effects, besides soreness/some growth in the breasts. No intense cravings, no mood swings, no nausea, no weight gain and no depression. I am a little more sensitive than before but that's about it."

"Ive been on the pill for almost a year and the first three months my period was not regulated that after my period was regulated but i would spot 3 days before I had my period and I had no symtoms but after about 6 to 7 months I notice that my boobs would be tender almost all the time and that my appetite increase like I would be full after eating about 2-3 plate of food then like 30 mins to an hour later I would be hungry again and then I gained weight maybe like 5 to 8 pounds over 6 months it works and I really dont have a problem with the symptoms cause I now got use to it and my sex drive has acually increased"

"I really don't like this pill. I was on it for about two months in a desperate attempt to change my period so I wouldn't get it on my wedding night. I visited the porcelain gods about 2-3 times a week at 2 AM (it was recommended I take this before bed with a little snack, which I'd done for years with a different birth control). No matter what I did, my stomach would become upset. After two months I decided there was no way sex could be worth a constant upset stomach and I stopped taking this. Best decision ever. Now I'm on Lo Loestrin Fe and I've had no problems."

"I see a lot of negative reviews on this, but Tri-Prev is the only birth control that has ever worked for me. I started it at 21 to regulate my periods because my testosterone levels were too high and my periods were very inconsistent (I was diagnosed with PCOS). I have been on it ever since. Just this year at 30 I'm having to switch because I've begun to breakthrough bleed. I stayed on this for so long because I always had glowing skin, never felt bloated or gained weight and it really levelled my mood. I feel lucky to have had such a good run. Super sad I am having to start my search again for a new one. Having had such an amazing experience, I think it's definitely worth a try, you never know what will work for you!"

"This birth control has increased acne, and appetite causing me to retain water. My breasts are also sore, and I find that I become nauseous no matter if I take it with food or not."
