"Ive been taking it for three months now and a week after starting it my breast got really sore. I dont know about weight gain but im only getting really tiny pimples which are normally gone by the end of the next day. Doesnt make me dry down there either. Sex drive is normal. I just feel a lot tired and my head hurts occasionally but that might just be the changing weather! Since i havent been taking it for long i think im going to wait two months or so and see how it treats me :)"

"I've been on this pill for 5 months before I really started noticing the extreme PMS effects. It worked for acne pretty quickly but approaching months 4-5 I noticed I was getting really upset and angry with those around me the week of my period. I think my body grew to expect the hormones and when I wasn't taking it, I'd get extremely and irrationally angry. Switching to a lower dose pill or just pulling the plug on BC in general because this is really scaring me."

"I started taking this about a year ago and boy I didn't realize how good it was until I switched to another medicine. I started taking Avianne two weeks ago on a fluke when I switched Dr's and tried a new RX, and wow is it terrible! Avianne has made me gain 5 lbs in 2 weeks, break out, have a longer period, and be extremely moody. It made my boobs a little bigger which I liked but in no way is that worth the trade off. I just called my Dr. requesting to be put back on tri-previfem, which regulated my periods, and did not make me gain weight. I have always heard horror stories about what birth control can do to you, but I never experienced it until I left tri previfem. Can't wait to get back on it!"

"I am 16 years old and started this birth control a month ago. Got pretty bad nausea and headaches the first couple weeks but it went away. I don't take the placebo pills for my period week because they make my period worse and going off the placebo seems to help. I started my second pack yesterday and took a double dose because I skipped a day. Woke up this morning, vomited profusely all day. If it gets worse, I'm going to the hospital."

"I started taking this in hopes of clearing my skin up a little more. I have always struggled with acne here and there but nothing terrible. Within the first month my face severely broke out all around my jaw and mouth. I gave it two full months but it just kept getting worse. It also made my face very puffy and swollen. I have a thyroid condition and at least 4 people told me to get it checked because of how swollen my face got. It was completely normal. I am not sure if it was my acne that made me anxious but I was very emotional. I am now on accutane to clear my skin up and I just got the Skyla IUD because of the lower hormones. But everyone’s body is different so what may not work for one person may work great for others!"

"I have been taking Tri-Previfem pill for a week and a half now. I went to my doctor to prescribe me a pill to regulate my hormones and clear my cystic acne. My doctor prescribes me this, and its suppose to help me with PCOS as well. My cystic acne has minimized however I'm am getting these bumps on my cheek. I am not sure if its because my body is in the transition stage or if this is a reaction I should be paying attention to. If I was to self diagnose myself, it seems like a rash. These bumps are eye noticeable, but I can feel it on my skin and sometimes feel tingling as well. Can anyone relate? What should I do? Should I continue for at least a month or should I pay attention to these symptoms?"

"I began taking this birth control Tri-Previfem my freshman year of high school in hopes it would clear up my awful acne. The first three months were AWFUL! My acne did get worse and I was extremely insecure. However by my sophomore year I had the clearest skin ever, and always received compliments. That being said I did become extremely moody and irritable, and gained around 15 lbs in a year. However, I am now a first year college student and I don't know if it's my body or the birth control, but now I experience: period symptoms the entire week before my period and after in which I'm extremely bloated, emotional, depressed, I get headaches, my skin doesn't seem to be as clear, and my appetite has gotten worse. I also am now getting yeast infections during my period which sucks. I plan on switching birth control after this month."
