Tri Sprintec birth control pill  
•  Stopped using

While on the pill, Tri-Sprintec was amazing. I experienced zero side effects, prevented pregnancy, and had completely predictable periods.

Hair loss

I stopped taking Tri-Sprintec in April 2023. It took 3 months for my period to return, but ever since my cycle has been WAY out of whack. Some cycles are 15 days, some are 50 days. I am only ovulating every other or third cycle. I have been spotting throughout my cycle because of hormone imbalance. Currently not trying to conceive, but wanting to in the next few months. I am frustrated it has taken this long for my normal cycle to return and hormones to balance.

Altavera birth control pill  

I loved this for helping prevent migraines (taking continuously) and helping even out my moods. But I just realized it is probably what is causing my hair loss. Looking to change to a lower androgen pill like Yasmin

Tri Estarylla birth control pill  

The only side effects for me personally, is when every time I am starting the first hormonal pill again after the placebo week, I wake up very nauseous. But on the second day your body should adjust to it again and it will go away. Other ones is decreased sex drive, slight vagina, dryness, and I also cry more often. Other than that, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. So I like this one.

Isibloom birth control pill  

I've been continuously cycling with these pills (skipping periods) and I've found a lot of my period and pre-period symptoms have improved! My doctor recommended this because of my PMDD and hormonal acne and I've found that both are easier to manage on this pill.
