Jasmiel birth control pill  
•  Still using

I have suspected PMDD and after being prescribed this pill I experienced a normal period for the first time in my life with no crying or rage and no convincing myself that everyone secretly hates me and that I should just isolate myself. If you forget to take them (especially at the beginning of the pack) those symptoms will return to a moderate degree however. My performance in college and my interpersonal relationships have improved since going on the pill. Is also fairly cheap, I get it from student health services for ~$10 a month.

Lutera birth control pill  

I actually didn't really have any "normal" side effects with this pill, I felt like I was mostly normal. But I did notice that my hair was gradually thinning, and it felt like it triggered some form of chronic hair loss for me. Interestingly enough, while it wasn't a huge issue, I noticed that I had "stinky" periods? I stopped having them after I stopped the pill.

Being on this actually helps me to get fewer menstrual migraines. I don’t seem to have had any truly bad side effects over the years I’ve been taking it.
