I take Camila because I am at a high risk for throwing blood clots and need a birth control that does not contain estrogen. I'm 20 years old and am on week 6 of the pill. What I noticed right away was a complete change in vaginal flora. Forgive me for sounding all spiritual and hippy-dippy, but my vagina doesn't seem like my own anymore and I cannot 'connect' to it, which is very distressing to me. The other "big thing" that makes me want to discontinue use is the crazy headaches Camila produces. I am a person who is not very headache prone, and has never had a migraine. Within the past 2 weeks I've been getting headaches 4 - 7 times a week! Just the other day I had to stay home from work because my head hurt so badly I could barely open my eyes. Another distressing side effect is my decreased sex drive. This may not bother others, but it is important to me. Also, I pretty much feel as though I'm PMS-ing all the time, though with this particular birth control method you never know when your period is coming. I also have VERY heavy discharge on this pill, which bothers me because I typically discharge a lot anyway, and with Camila it's increased so much and I think it's pretty gross. Even with a pantiliner I feel 'wet' and gross all the time, it's quite unpleasant. The side effects I've experienced that I consider deal breakers are: change in vaginal flora, severe and frequent headaches, lowered libido, depression, chest pain, one breast is more swollen than the other causing them to appear uneven, backaches, acne on my face and back, increased discharge, and an increase in moodiness. Some side effects that don't bother me as much: change in appetite, mild weight gain, mild nausea, and sore muscles. I have had one period on the pill, and it was the heaviest period I've ever had, but it only lasted about 3 days. During my next appointment with my gynecologist, I am going to explore other options, perhaps the shot. At least I'm not pregnant, though!!!!Read More Read Less
