Oral Contraceptives Reviews

Show: for
brought on daughter's cycle for first time in over a year.
General mood great, PMT week still horrific.
Eased the severity & duration of PMS cramps. Improved my moods during this time.
Reduced severity of cramping
Helped with bleeding, but made me more depressed.
It helps with the mood swings a lot. My flow is much lighter also.

I'm not sure if this medication has caused my to have a severe decrease in sex drive but it might be contributing to it.
Depends on the person the emotional problems they caused were not worth it.
Somewhat Helpful
Pain is somewhat better than I used to be, although if on any one pill for too long I tend to bleed more and my cycles over all have lengthened somewhat. Also notice things like going to the bathroom a lot and cramping (diarea) every single month like clockwork. Concerned over white tingling fingers/poor circulation (something I notice if on a pill for over two years).
feel bloated often and sometimes I think it aggravates the irritability
no longer take them.
