Hailey Fe 1.5/30 birth control pill  

I have been on this for less than a week, and I've cried more times in the past two days than I could in a year. I have been so depressed and moody, even my coworkers are noticing. It is sad. I have been debating on stopping this pill. I also have had all the worst cramps while not even bleeding. It just has not been a good week! and it is really taking a toll on me, I feel like I have my period all day everyday for the week just without the blood.

Hailey Fe 1.5/30 birth control pill  

I was on another birth control, before and I was switched to Hailey Fe suddenly, I think there was some mistake with the prescription but I just thought it would be the same. After the first month I noticed my mood swings were were, I couldn’t stop crying for no reason. I have a series of bad acne breakouts which I’d never had a problem with before. I’ve been having some dizziness and headaches as well and I gained serval pounds in the first 2 weeks which was upsetting because I’m currently on a weight loss journey. I also had some cramping and breakthrough spotting at first. I’m going back to my previous one immediately.

Portia birth control pill  

I felt hungry all the time, gained weight (15 lbs over the 3 months I was on it), and had extremely elevated blood pressure which was not common for me — it was 140/96 at the highest, from the time I woke up to bed time. I had anxiety, high heart rate, and night terrors, again very uncommon for me.

Portia birth control pill  

I started taking this bc I have PMDD and also wanted to stop my period all together. I have no interest in getting pregnant. This pill was to stop my period and it did just that. I feel great on it.
