For Birth Control "I was extremely happy with my combination pill, but was forced to switch to Lyza about a month ago due to my aural migraines. The first three days on the new pill I was too nauseous to function. I've now had my period twice in less than a month and sore breasts since I started it. Aside from my skin improving slightly (which was unexpected), my weight remaining unaffected, and my mood staying much more balanced than when on estrogen, this pill is a nightmare physically."

For Birth Control "I started this pill 7 days ago and it's been a wacko 7 days. Days 1-2 I had spotting, 3-to 7 have been nonstop bleeding. It's like am I gonna run out of blood soon from so much blood bleeding. I'm on my 2nd box of super+ tampons. The cramps are insane. I had cramps before but these make you want to vomit and pull your hair out. I wouldn't suggest this BC at all.. I was only prescribed it because I have a history of migraines.. plus I said ok, because the doctor made this pill sound amazing. Bye Lyza, thank you for ruining the last 7 days of my life."

For Birth Control "Honestly, I haven't had any trouble with Lyza. I did get some slight nausea the first two week of taking it, and my boobs where sore for the first two months but they also grew to a nice handful - I had rather small boobs before, so it was a nice perk. Since then I haven't had any trouble in the last four months of taking it. I've tried to take other pills before, but I have chronic GI problems and the estrogen always made me super sick. I can't afford to not be able to tell if I'm vomiting due to my GI problems or my pill, seeing as one could be harmless while the other could potentially - in an extreme - kill me. So my doctor recommended I get on a progesterone only pill. Over all, my experience with Lyza has been good despite a bad rap"

For Birth Control "This pill gave me a period that wouldn't stop for two months...basically my period stopped after I stopped taking the pill. I experienced severe pain and bloating like I've never experienced before. I mean toppled over in bed kind of pain. I went to the emergency room twice. No one could figure out what was wrong with me. I finally realized that the symptoms started after I started taking the pill. This pill is scary. I hope that there isn't any long term damage to my body after taking this pill. All the pain, bloating and blood stopped after I stopped taking it, so that's good at least. But I am definitely worried about any long term damage this pill might have caused."

For Birth Control "I just started taking this BC 3 weeks ago. (First time being on birth control) my period came a week ago and I'm still spotting. My cycle usually lasts for 5-6 days and it has always been irregular. But I'm not liking that my cycle length has increased. Other than that I've only had minor headaches compared to my usually intense headaches so that's a plus. And I get nausea once in a while, no vomiting though. I've decided to wait 2 more months to see if my symptoms or side effects change for the better.."

For Birth Control "I was on this pill for only 2 weeks! To sum it up, I had SEVERE abdominal pain along with awful nausea for a week straight. It prevented me from going into work. I had everything from dizziness to cold flashes. I was miserable on this pill. I gave it one star for ease of use and one more for pregnancy effectiveness. But honestly neither of those are worth it. Now that I am off of the pill as of yesterday, I have no more pain. This pill flushes out of your system exactly after 24 hours (so be sure to be especially on time with a POP pill) overall, I do not recommend Lyza, but keep in mind that everyone is different!"

For Birth Control "I have been on Lyza for about 7 months now and I hate it. I literally am bleeding most of the month, and it's definitely not a normal period. I called my provider and they said it takes about 6 months for it to get regular again but I don't see that happening. My mood swings are horrible and I feel really anxious and depressed. Do not recommend this to anyone!"

For Birth Control "I’ve been on this pill for almost three months. Since I’ve started it, my skin HATES me. I’ve been very moody as well. I take it every night at 10 pm and wake up every single morning feeling extremely gross and bloated. Definitely do not recommend this pill."

For Birth Control "I didn’t get pregnant while on this pill, so that’s good. However, I had really bad cramps and heavy bleeding while on it. My periods usually aren’t that bad. Also, my skin was horrible. I rarely break out, but this gave me terrible acne. I’ve never had this bad of a reaction to any birth control pill."

For Birth Control "I have been taking this birth control for two weeks and I have not stopped bleeding since. I bleed very, very heavy and have very alarming size blood clots from the size of a golf ball to small fruit it’s insane! The cramps are ridiculous and I can’t even work because I am on my feet which makes me bleed heavier, in three hours I just went through two overnight pads and 3 super plus tampons!!! I’ve also gained 10 lbs in two weeks and my skin is so bad and it has never ever been bad! This stuff is horrible!"

For Birth Control "I had a bad experience with the Lyza pill. First, my throat got tight and it was difficult to breathe. I called the doctor and she said I'm having a bad reaction to Lyza and I had to get off it, I only lasted 3 days. I am not allergic to ANYTHING so these pills were definitely to blame. I also immediately got terrible cystic acne all over my chin/jaw area. I stopped on the third day...that was more than 2.5 months ago and I STILL have terrible acne that I didn't have before. :( I hope it goes away soon. I don't recommend this product to anyone."

For Birth Control "I started taking this pill in April 2017. It made me dizzy for 8 months. I had to take time off of work during the months that made me the most dizzy. I even thought I had vertigo at some point. The dizziness finally went away but I started to get my period twice a month. At this very moment, I'm on my period and have been on it for the past 2 weeks. This is the most insane bc pill ever."

For Birth Control "I was switched to this birth control from Yaz because I’ve experienced aural migraines in the past- even though the Yaz helped them go away and made my periods lighter. My doctor claimed she still couldn’t prescribe it to me and prescribed me Lyza instead. I’ve been on it for 2 months and decided that I would honestly rather just risk getting pregnant until I can find a different doctor (I’m married and we’re open to having more children). This is the worst birth control I have ever experienced. On top of the fact that I bleed heavily nonstop, I have zero control of my emotions. These past two months have been a nightmare. Although, everyone reacts differently to medication, I would certainly never recommend this birth control to anyone."

For Birth Control "I liked Lyza because it didn’t make me depressed and I rarely got my period. Was on it for 2 beautiful years. But now I have a newborn baby, and although I love him, I was not expecting such turn of events. I was totally clueless for a while because this birth control regularly made me miss periods, so I didn’t know until my belly started mysteriously sticking out. It was nice while it lasted though"

For Birth Control "I took this method of birth control for approximately 5 months. It was effective as birth control, but the side effects surprised me. Tearful and angry, my reaction with the medication was definitely not overall positive. Some days were better than others, but most days were a struggle. I’ve been off the medicine for less than a week and my mood is already much more stabilized."
