"After 5 years of the Mirena IUD, it got lodged in my uterus and required surgical removal. I was going to get another one until that happened. I was then on the depo shot and gained a ton of weight. Since I was a smoker and over 30, my doctor didn't want me taking anything with estrogen, so she put me on Sharobel. I noticed that my boobs felt HUGE and super sore for the first week, and also my chin and back broke out for the first few weeks. The only other gripe I have with this pill is that it has to be taken the same exact time every day. I'm busy, forgetful, and my schedule is all over the place. Might be going back to the shot soon just because of that. Upsides: less risk of blood clots and No period to speak of (yay!)"

"I was previously on Lo Loestrin for three years because I cannot be on a pill that has a lot of estrogen. My insurance covered very little of it (it was costing me $120 a month) so my doctor prescribed Sharobel. I spotted for about a month when I first started taking it, and then didn't get my period for about three to four months. For the past two months, I have been spotting almost everyday, some days actually seem like a full-blown period. It will stop for a day or two at most, and then I am spotting again. I haven't experienced any other negative effects, but with this birth control being less effective than others on top of the months of spotting, it is not the best option for me."

"I was prescribed this because I had my baby in December and was breastfeeding. It is the only birth control I've ever been on but I think I can safely say it is by far the worst one! Not only have I been bleeding 25 days out of the month, but I've gotten my period 3 times in just one month and it's even heavier than before! Add constant bleeding with awful mood swings and you get a living hell. That's been my life on these pills the past 3 months. I'm definitely switching!"

"Honestly I was little skeptical due to the reviews because then I was like “great, another terrible experience on birth control” and so far, it has been good! I think with me already having issues with my mental health and combination pills causing high blood pressure this one really helped as far a very little to no side effect symptoms. I’m really moody sometimes, and my sex drive is through the roof, but other than that I think it’s good so far."

"I switched off of Nikki (Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) for Sharobel, which I primarily use to treat PMDD. I have new acne (never had before) and PMDD symptoms while taking Sharobel, and a lot of full-blown, breakthrough periods, so I do not recommend it for PMDD. I’m switching back to Nikki."

"I was prescribed Sharobel because I have elevated BP and am a smoker. I'm about halfway through my third week on it and I really love this BC. My body managed to adjust itself rather quickly and it shortened my cycle by two days! Main side effects I've noticed are really just a little acne, mild nausea (if I eat something just before taking it, this is avoided) increased appetite (which thanks to going to the gym I've managed to combat nicely) and mine and my partners favorite part, my sex drive is through the ROOF and my self-lubrication problem is no more! Because my partner and I are both very paranoid about accidental pregnancy, we haven't been brave enough to fully put this pill to the test, but I will certainly post an update if we do. Overall, I love this pill and plan on staying on it as long as I can!"

"I have tried so many birth controls and was put on this after I was told I could no longer be on the combination pill. I was very nervous as people typically only leave a negative review if that have a bad experience. I am so happy with this pill. Zero mental health changes, zero appetite changes, acne has stayed stable and my boobs have gone up a cup size. 10/10."

"Hands down, Sharobel has the WORST packaging in the entire history of the world, ever."

"I had the worst cramps of my life while on this pill. The pain was so extreme that I vomited violently from it. Never taking it again."

"I've been bleeding lightly for 3 weeks and it smells fairly bad. I'm quitting it for these reasons and going back to my old birth control pill."
