Oral Contraceptives Reviews

Show: for
I was on a birth control that would make it so I would only have my menstural once every three months. It worked but it really upset my stomach so I had to stop taking it.
I have recently stopped using oral contraceptives due to the side effects.
Yaz worked like a charm (except during the week before my period...), but gave me TERRIBLE acid reflux after using it for a while. Also possible triggered/worsened a huge stomach problem I have.
works but makes my depression a little worse
I only freak out one or two days within the month. It's like my mood just suddenly goes from one end to the other... and only when it's before, during, or a week after my menstrual cycle.
It helped a little bit but I want to have a child so I can no longer take them.
I've tried SO many different types of "The Pill" and so far, Yaz is the closest I can get to feeling normal. It helps with the painful acne I get (almost cystic), and it does have a noticeable effect on my moods.
Helped at first, periods are back to heavy and super painful again though.
General mood great, PMT week still horrific.
Eased the severity & duration of PMS cramps. Improved my moods during this time.
