I take Sprintec and have a love hate relationship with it. I’ve gained weight, but it’s made my period regulate a lot. It made me depressed too. My boobs get very tender & it increased my cramps.

The pill made me spot every once and a while but made me super depressed.

I've taken levora, portia and camilla. None ever did anything for my periods. Just initial side effects of break through bleeding, breast tenderness.

The pill helped me regulate A LOT. I had cycles that lasted 50+ days, I was very irregular and I was a little happy to know, while on the pill, I’d get a period every month on my placebo days. However, I was having really bad side effects such as nausea, headaches, I felt tired all the time, I gained about 13 pounds in 4 months (all water), and my periods the last two months when these side effects where at their worst, it just disappeared. I didn’t care but i started slacking at taking it, so I switched to Nexplanon and not only all of my weight has been going down, but I barely have any side effects. Maybe it was because I was taking the combo pill and the nexplanon is progesterone only, so maybe that works better for me? Idk, birth control is about trial and error until you find what works best for you!

I never took them, I also never will.Im not here to hate bc you might be considering them but it’s always a big question mark on the pill because because you have no idea how your body will react.There are many side effects and the chances that you will get none of them is like 3%. 97% percent of the population has man negative side effects that they ignore. It also contains hormones.

Thanks, and no, no, no.. I totally understand I just want to get feedback on them before deciding what birth control method I will choose. Thank you 😊
