General Questions about taking Lybrel birth control pill? I have been taking Lybrel for 3 months and it seems that I am experiencing a wide array of side effects. Prior to taking Lybrel, I had been taking Ortho-Tri Lo for 4 months. My reason for taking B.C. pills is because my periods had been getting increasingly worse over the past year (my doc thinks I have endometriosis), which essentially made life unbearable for 1 week every month. Going to work was even a challenge during period week. Unfortunatley, I became very moody on the Ortho-Tri pill, as my body seemed to react to each dosage change that happens weekly. Lybrel has brought on different issues: 1) I had spotting for 4 weeks straight during the 2nd month of taking it. 2) After the 4 weeks of spotting, I had an actual 6 day period (luckily the last 3 weeks have been fine). 3) I started exercising vigorously and limiting calories 7 weeks ago and I have only lost 1 pound. A year ago I did the same regimen and lost 20 lbs. Anyone out there having the same experience?

Have you taken continuous birth control pills like Lybrel? Would you recommend taking continuous birth control Does the medication work well? Does it prevent all periods?

ladies, r u willing to take the risk's associated with Lybrel, the new birth control? the new one thats supposed to make your period go away. They haven't really done thurough testing on it. Are you gonna risk possible side effects, just to eliminate that "time of the month"? Shouldnt' you wait, just to be safe? H.B.I.C.---I've heard about that seasonal one too. But they are saying that you can even still get pregnant. So what could it do to a baby?

Lybrel birth control pills and upper respiratory infections? It says on the website and in the patient pamphlet that Lybrel can make you more prone to upper respiratory infections (it was one of the more commonly reported side effects in clinical trials), but it does not state anywhere what it is about Lybrel that can cause you get the infection. Does anyone know how Lybrel causes this?

Is anyone besides me on Lybrel Birth Control? I have gained 8 lbs in the 3 months I have been on it and also have experienced alot of fatigue. Wondered if anyone else can tell me if they had side effects.

Why are women so weird about menstrual suppression? I honestly don't undertstand this. I mean, when Seasonale came out and now that Lybrel is out, you'd think everyone would be celebrating. A period, aside from childbirth, is the WORST part about being female. Its an entire week every month of bleeding, cramps, bloating, fatigue, pms, and all that other lovely stuff and now that there is a way to end that, no one wants to try it! I mean, sure I was skeptical at first about the health risks, but I asked my gynecologist about it and she explained that when you're on birth control, you're not even having a real period! It's just bleeding as a side effect from hormone withdrawl and there is absolutley NO reason to have it every month. You can safely try it with ANY birth control (as women have been doing since the pill fist came out, and there's no reported problems) and still get a period as soon as you get off it. Yeah, periods are a natural fact of life, but they're absolutley horrible and since there's a safe way to stop them, why not? lynn, you could go to a planned parenthood or the local health clinic and get it free. my friend debbie does that WHO CARES if you're messing with mother nature? she's been messing with ME for the past six years! just cause it's "natural" doesn't mean you should have to deal with it! i've been on seasonale for two years, and yeah i've had spotting. but after your body get used to it, you have no more spotting and you're happily period-free! it's worth it
