I have been taking lo-ovral for about 4 months and have experience weight gain that makes me feel so fat! I am always bloated. I have been working out for the past two months and I have not lost an ounce, if anything, I have gained more weight. I have been having mood swings and sometimes the thought of sex makes me bored and lazy. I contribute part of it to my weight gain. I would suggest that anyone feeling this way should definitely try another form of birth control.

I been taking it for 3 months. I've had no side effects (except for occasional mood swings), my weight is still the same, and no decrease in libido.
That's just me though. I've heard other people say they feel horrible on it. It all depends on the woman's body.

I started lo ovral a few months ago and it is horrible. I have headaches everyday, all day and when I don't take the pill I don't have headaches. Also, I weighed 117 and I'm now at 135. I haven't been eating more or exercising less. Also, I have been noticing acne, which I never had before. I would not recommend this pill. What about Yasmin? Has anyone tried it?

I have been taking Loovral for about a year now, and I must say there are truly pros and cons of this pill. I use this pill to help my menstrual cycle, which is horrible, I have endometriosis so I have extreme pain and nausea and vomiting with my cycle. After taking the pill, it really helped my cycle. I had to take prescription pills like 7oomg lortab and morphine. After the birth control started to work, all I had to take was tylenol and sometimes ibuprofen 800mg. This made me happy, but now I have put on at least 25 pounds, and my hair has fallen out a lot, but I don't know what to do. These are the only pills that I have taken that really has helped my cycle. :-(

I don't usually reply to these things, but I wanted to let people know about my experience with this BCP. I was on Yaz prior to switching to Lo-ovral (I actually take the generic Lo-ogestrel) and I, personally, hated Yaz. Instead of helping with my severe PMS, it made it worse. I also gained about 5 lbs. I got so tired of hearing my boyfriend tell me he knew when I was about to get my period that I decided to stop taking the pill altogether. I felt absolutely crazy on it! So emotional and just blah all around. Anyway, I let my body re-adjust and my doctor prescribed me Lo-ovral. This has been the best pill I've ever taken. I lost all the weight I had gained on Yaz and have had really light periods. They last about three days. I've also had no problems with mood swings, depression, irritability, etc. I also like that I can take a couple of packs in a row so I don't have to deal with a period every month. For me, it has made my monthly gift a little easier to deal with.
I want to remind everyone that each person's body chemistry is different. Just because I have had a good experience doesn't mean that everyone will. Just like not everyone has had a bad experience with Yaz. So, your body is going to react with the ingredients of a BCP in its own way. The best thing you can do is find out exactly what you want from a BCP, find what closely matches and go from there. I would also recommend talking to your doctor. They'll tell you what they've heard on the "medical" streets.
Peace!

I was on Lo/Ovral for 2 yrd and I LOVED IT! it was perfect, unfortunately i lost my health insurance so i switched to Microgestin FE...HORRIBLE! Nausea, heartburn, mood swings, depression, lack of energy, lethargy, loss of appetite, you name it, i have it. AND I gained 25+ pounds, and i ate very healthy and exercise regularly and didn't change anything. I am going to the doctor next week to switch back to Lo/Ovral, saving a few bucks isnt worth what iv'e put up with the past 8 months. I would definitely recommend trying it, however it's different for everybody, so if you dont like your brand, try something else until you find one you like! lucky for me, I found the one that works best on the first try, however i was an id**t switch and i wont be doing that again!

I gained a small amount of weight but its not to hard to lose. I didnt get any side affects at all. But it also depends on the person. No one is the same. After a few months, if you dont feel comfortable with it then I would switch. But for me it has been awsome.

%-) I have been on the shot for years and I believe that it is the best at preventing pregnancy but it has the number one worst side effects... you want to talk about weight gain you gain little bits over time but its hard to get it off. I broke out towards each time to renew my shot and it makes you very irratable and just recent even though I didnt start getting these side effects for a long time into it I now have Anxiety horrible that makes you feel crazy its controlable but its all the time and it made me nervous and caused stomach problems from either beinf really constipated to wheres the nearest bathroon now! no joke. So I am now going to be starting Lo Ovral Sunday fingures crossed that it is better to my body the the depo shot...
