Brevinor pill reviews

My periods were really heavy. I would lose so much blood in the first 2 days that I’d be really, really dizzy and weak. I had excruciating pelvic pain at least 2-3 (sometimes more) a week. I was taken to A&E a couple of times as I passed out due to pain. I thought this was normal… but then I stopped taking Brevinor after a couple of years. The pain reduced significantly. Still had pelvic pain with Cerazette (mini pill) but not as frequently. I’m not on any pills now and I feel so much better. No pelvic pain, no mood swings, no tears.

I'm in Australia, where Brevinor has been available for many decades (as one of the early pills). It's considerably cheaper than other pills that are on the market and you don't have to have your period every month.

I seem to be prone to low moods when using the pill - 3/4 including this pill have left me feeling quite anxious and lethargic. Increased breast size was a nice bonus (!) but looking to switch pill or try the injection before the moods affect my social life/ work

This has been the third pill I have tried but it has been the worst for my mood. It has made me feel irritable and sad from the first week of taking it. I have also experienced mild cramps :( I wouldn’t recommend this pill, however everyone is different and it may be good for some other women!

I’m on the second pack of this pill after trying approx 7 other pills due to heavy periods and extremely painful cramping. My previous pill was Microgynon 30 which caused me to spot/discharge more which has continued with this pill. The skin down there is extremely dry and itchy and has frequently broken into small cuts. Especially due to having to wear liners a lot due to spotting/blood coloured discharge. I have a 6 month prescription so fingers crossed these side effects go away.

This is the only pill I've ever tried with no noticeable side effects. Love it, would still be on it were it not for the current global shortage + it's not well-known here in the UK so I had to switch to Rigevidon after running out of Brevinor, which has been a far worse pill for me.

It really messed up my boobs. They became very sore and swollen

Stopped my periods completely - Get lighter periods - Get more headaches and can feel sick at certain times of the month - Has effected my moods quite a lot

My second time on this pill as my usual wasn’t available. Gave it another try, have only been on it for a week or 2 and my breasts are rock solid and very tender, I am having what feels like hot flushes with extreme sweating and my mood is lower than normal. Will be getting it changed in the next couple of weeks hopefully as I know my previous experience on Brevinor was terrible too however I can’t say I noticed any changes in my breasts the first time I went on it, it was more so my mood that changed drastically (down all the time, short tempered and crying at the smallest thing - if even anything at all). It may work differently for others but from the reviews I’ve read, a lot of people have had similar experiences. I’ll steer clear of this pill now that I’ve given it a second chance and don’t see any benefits personally!

This pill made me unbelievably tired. I lost all motivation to do anything and became quite down. I usually give a pill 3 months but I couldn’t get past 6 weeks on this pill.
