Hailey Fe 1/20 Reviews
For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for about 1 year, taking BC for 2. Physically, this birth control is great. Boobs have grown, no period for 6 months as of now, no noticeable weight gain, and cleared acne. However, mentally, I am a completely different person than who I was before starting. I have erratic mood swings that I cannot control, I have no energy, I’m crying uncontrollably at least 2x a day. If you already have mental problems or believe that this drug won’t affect you in this manner, the pill does what it needs to do, but I wouldn’t want anyone to go through the mental dilemma I do."
For Birth Control "I have been on quite a few birth control pills and really struggled at one point to find one that worked for me, as I have PMDD. I did well with its brand name Loestrin 1/20 when it was available. Generic versions have been hit and miss but Hailey 1/20 is working very well for me. I have a regular period during the break (like clockwork) and it is much lighter and shorter than before starting the pill. My PMDD is now under control which is a big relief. I do get some headaches when I finish a pack/go on break, however this is true of all pills. I'm not really having any other negative symptoms at all!"
For Birth Control "I'm 33 and have been on BCP since I was 16 except for a few months were I chose to get pregnant.... so I have quite a history with BCP. Hailey 1/20 is by far the strangest. My doctor changed my prescription in Dec 2020 from a different brand that was similar (an insurance thing) but with Hailey I haven't had ANY periods aside from spotting for a day or 2. It is really odd because I still get the cramping, bloating and tiredness during the week I'm supposed to have my cycle but, no period.... then of course I start to freak out and run to the pharmacy for a pregnancy test. I've also been more easily agitated/angered which is out of character for me. Although I has been effective at preventing pregnancy, after 2 months I've called my doctor and asked to change my prescription again. I know some women are okay with not having a period but I NEED it, it's my reassurance."
For Birth Control "I’ve been on this birth control for about a month now. Overall experience has been very easy going! I don’t have sudden mood swings, and I’m not experienced a whole lot of side effects. I will say, however, that the first 2 weeks on this pill I was experiencing nausea soon after taking my daily dose. I assume that this is pretty normal because it most definitely could’ve been my body adjusting to the hormones. I have also felt very fatigued after starting this birth control. Often sleeping around 12 hours a day which is not normal to me at all! I didn’t experience any spotting which was a plus because many birth control would have me spotting for months! Overall this birth control worked really well with my body aside from the tiredness!!"
