I switched to Tri-Previfem when Ortho Trycline got to expensive...the switch was nice and easy and I was as effective. I do suffer from back pain during my period which this pill isnt to good for; however, it works wonders with cramping and bloating. I have been on Tri-Previfem for almost 4 years now and I am very content with it.

Worst packaging EVER. What is with those little cardboard cut-outs that fall everywhere when you pop a pill out??? They are all over my purse, house, and car. I repeat- WORST PACKAGING EVER!

i have been on the pill for about three months now. i had really bad acne before taking the pill and my skin is now cleared up and i have not had a pimple in about 3 weeks. But i have gained weight and my breasts have gotten slightly bigger which i am not thrilled about. i am really stressed about the weight part because i never had issues with it before.

I started Tri-Previfem in April of 2018 I was only 16 at the time and my main reasonings were to get rid of bad acne and of course birth control. My acne went away amazingly, I used another drug for it but Iâ??m sure the birth control played a role also. It also works well as a birth control and of course I didnâ??t get pregnant while on it. The horrible part was a HUGE decrease in my sex drive and dryness down there. That was my main reason for quitting the pill, but if you are looking for a pill to decrease acne I strongly recommend!

This is my second month taking it. I came from Loryana, I need something more effective for my acne. It has cleared my skin very well. I have noticed changes in my flow color it’s very light compared to dark. One thing I am disliking though is how I’m gaining weight and my stomach looks bloated all the time. That part concerns me but overall I’m loving how my skin looks.

Tri-Previfem is horrible! I have been on TriNessa for years with no noticeable side effects. Last year the company ran out and I was given Tri-Previfem as it's replacement, going through the same thing again right now. Supposedly it's the exact same drug. Not sure how it can be. Went right from TriNessa to the Tri-Previfem without missing a day. My period started an entire week early when I was still in the week 3 pills. I was like clockwork on TriNessa. My cystic acne is back not just on my face, but my neck, chest and back as well. I'm also getting the nausea from it again. I'm so annoyed with it I might just stop taking it until I can get back with my doc again to try something different. Read More Read Less

I'm happy as ever and this pill almost made me commit suicide. Horrible anixety, panic attacks for no reason, abdominal pain out of nowhere - to the point where I debated going to the hospital. Dirrehea. Gained lbs in a month. Burning skin, rashes all over- my skin looks like actual trash and it's been clear my whole life. the list goes on. save yourself.

I highly recommend this to girls who are struggling with painful and/or long heavy periods. My periods were so bad that I would be taken to the ER at some points. That has not happened once since I started this pill a little over a year ago.

AWFUL PILL. I have been on this pill for just under 4 months and it has completely changed me. I have been petite my entire life and it has made me gain 15 pounds even though I eat very well and exercise (high intensity) daily. It has destroyed my self image and my confidence has plummeted. Tri Previfem has made me experience migraines (which I have literally never had before), horrible stomach pain every day, constant hunger, and lack of control over my emotions. I always feel like I could start crying for no reason. On the bright side, I'm not pregnant and it's helped clear up my skin, but the side effects outweigh the benefits. Before this, I was on Trinessa for 2 years and never experienced any side effects with it. I've been trying to be patient with Tri Previfem and give it time for my body to adjust, but things are only getting worse. I'm going off this pill as soon as possible.Read More Read Less

i have been using this form of birth control for a very long time- approximately 4 years now. I take it right before bed time. I have had zero problems and it has done wonders for my body- cleared up my acne (now i only have 1 small pimple or nothing come period time) in conjunction with using a facial scrub and of course your boobs grow. I would never think of switching to some other pill. ladies you find what works for you and your body, but this pill has never let me down.

It's August 16, 2017. I've been bleeding since June 29. I have endometriosis and PCOS. This pill was started to help with my debilitating cramps. It's helped quite a bit with that and I'm not pregnant, so... Yay? I've been very irritable lately. I'm not sure if it's bc of this med or just from having a period for 6 weeks . I do still have cramps but in general they are much better. I've also noticed, like some others, my eyes have been very dry. I wouldn't recommend people *not* take it, but I would certainly tell them my experience so they could decide if they wanted to try it. My Dr called in a new bcp but wants me to finish this pack first. Needless to say, I am very anxious to get off this one. Read More Read Less

Basically all the other commentators are true. this crap makes you have headaches, your boobs grow up a cup size but are tender for months, which sucks. you're super moody and bitchy, my boyfriend thinks i should get off of this one but other research shows the other ones can cause cancer to activate and be 10 times worse. so hpefully ill get less bitchy and psycho when ive reached my year mark. Good Luck!

I've been on this medication for almost two years now. This was my third type of birth control and the one that finally caused me periods to regulate. Due to a number of outside factors, I am just now realizing that triprevifem is to thank for my increased emotional state. I used to be the girl who NEVER cried, now, I'm luck if I make it a week without crying. It is nice to finally have regular periods, however, it would be nice to not cry, too, especially considering it has almost been detrimental to my relationship. I'm going to look into switching medications. Read More Read Less

Recently started these pills as prescribed by my family physician as i'm experiencing irregular menstrual cycles and having trouble conceiving for the past 3 1/2 years. She hopes this will regulate my cycle enough. Started taking these 05/25/2016 and as of today, 06/30/2016, my breasts have gone from a 34C to a 36D. They were tender at first but that subsided. I was depressed and VERY sad during my first cycle on these pills. I didn't start until 4 days into the "cycle pills" and then had a very light flow for 3 days with little to no cramping.Before these pills, I would have a heavy flow for 3 days with unbearable cramps. Happy about the cramping subsiding. Have been experiencing abdominal pains and nausea with a loss of appetite yet I feel bloated and like I've gained weight. Discharge has thickened but my sex drive is WAY UP!!! Overall, i'm happy with these pills and will only be on them another month and a half before being reevaluated by my physician. Hoping to get pregnant soon :)Read More Read Less

If I could've given this all 0's I would've. Yeah, it's nice not being pregnant, at least that job was done correctly. But I'm so psyched this pill made me gain 30 lbs, my bust go from a DD to an H, and gave me panic attacks and depressing!! Oh, and besides ruining my life, the physical changes it causes to my body (and my voice) practically ruined my singing (which I do professionally, and I'm expecting tons of auditions coming this summer). Thank you Tri Previfem, for ruining my life!

I started taking birth control mainly to help with cramps. Before birth control I was in pain for 24 hours straight. Pain killers didn't work, and I had to suffer from vomiting, nausea, dizziness, and diarrhea. My periods we extremely heavy and lasted 10 days, every time. Tri-Previfem has worked wonders for these symptoms over the past 3 years. I'm no longer confined to the bathroom and I can actually function like a normal human being. My periods last 7 days on average, so at least that has decreased somewhat. The other reason I got on birth control was to help with acne. I've struggled with acne since I was 12. I got everything from blackheads to big red welts. When I started taking the pill, my face flared up at first, but over time it gradually got better. People even pointed out that my complexion looked so much better. After being on this pill for 3 years I can say that is no longer the case. My acne is terrible again and I'm back to getting large red welts all over my cheeks and jawline. I've heard that symptoms can return after being on medication for a number of years, so maybe that's the case for me. Besides my acne returning, I've had other side effects occur throughout the last year. My mood swings are terrible! I often go off on people for no reason and I feel like my blood is boiling. Not only that, but my face flushes quite often. If I'm angry, hot, embarrassed, or experiencing any uncomfortable emotion, my face will become red as a tomato. Needless to say, even though this pill has been amazing for my cramps, it has a lot of negative side effects, and I probably won't continue taking it much longer. It's worth a shot, since everyone reacts differently to medication, but don't be surprised if some of these side effects creep up on you. Read More Read Less

I am satisfied with it because It def prevented pregnancy, but oh my god. I was an emotional wreck. I was moody, everything made me cry, my boyfriend complained about me spilling glitter on the bed and I have a break down, and I NEVER cry. The stomach pains were HORRIBLE. the Headaches. I started taking this after an abortion and I still felt as if I was pregnant. I do not recommend this script unless you like being a psycho.

This is my first BC and I have been on it for about 3 years. I set an alarm to take it at the same time everyday and it has been effective. My period is starts every 28th and and it lasts for about 4 days and is very light. Prior to this pill my period was every 30 days and very heavy. I never had any nausea or vomiting. No mood swings or bloating. I did have a hard time getting it at the pharmacy. On two occasions the pharmacy gave me another brand because they were out of this one. Overall it was a good experience.Read More Read Less

I went through several types of birth control pills before I was put on tri-previfem. They all made me emotional, none of them could control my cramps or my period regularity, and they were just overall unsatisfying. This birth control has solved all of my problems. I have had minimal cramps if any, my period is always regular and light, and my emotions are under control. Love this pill.

I am satisfied with it bc I am not pregnant & bc I always kno when my period will come which before the pill I had no clue , but as for the constant reoccurring yeast infections & all the moodiness & crying everyone else mentioned I am not satisfied. I didn't kno I should attribute my weight gain to this at 22 years old I just thought it was happening with age but I just read several other reviews here that said they had the similar weight gain I just experienced in the last year, & I've always been very skinny but I guess bc of this that I've gained about 15 lbs & my stomach is very bloated to the point ppl think I'm pregnant. I am deciding to stop this pill I'm tired of all this, my acne has also not gotten any better so screw it. Hopefully I won't get pregnant too soon but dealing with all this just for free pills has gotten old.Read More Read Less
