I just got prescribed loloestrin from my gyn to help with my severe period cramps. I’ve avoiding BC for years because I’m scared of the side effects. Has anyone here had any experience with this one?

I took it about 8 years ago and reacted to it horribly. I had constant nausea, mood swings, anxiety so I had to stop taking it. I know it was the medicine because the symptoms stopped as soon as I went off it. My best friend took it for a while and had no issues.

Ya that’s a reason he put me on it I’m hoping it’s ok. I’ve played around with meds for other things and just side effects suck so I really didn’t want to get on BC for that reason. But the time has come where i have to suck it up and do it bc the pain is not healthy for me. Hopefully it works well. Thank you so much for your input

it worked great for me but scared the living shit out of me a couple times because it made my period stop 100% so if you want to get rid of your period, it’s great !

Yes that’s his goal. Since I have severe period pains he is working on me just not having a period. Thank you for your help

This was the first birth control I was prescribed for my heavy periods and HORRIBLE cramps. It worked great, and it helped with both for me. Good luck!

I just got off this in April. It made my periods heavier, gave me break outs, extremely extremely moody, terrible pms, bad cramps, headaches, etc. It was all around a terrible birth control for me anyway 🤷‍♀️
