Ladies, we are all different. For one, I have tried Losestrin and Seasonique (UNFORTUNATLY).

I have had horrible headaches and confusion while taking this medicine. Also I have a slight speech impediment and it seem as if it has gotten worse since I have been on this medicine.

I'm taking this both as a contraceptive and to help regulate my periods. I am only on day 8 but am completely satisfied! I am not gaining weight (and I am already big so that's a good thing), and I have not experienced any of the other problems I had with Mirena, Paragard, or NuvaRing. I have had horrible headaches, intense and prolonged painful bleeding, insane mood swings, and awful cramps with all of those products, but now I am actually satisfied. I didn't want to use a pill because I was worried about remembering to take it, and was concerned about the hormones negatively affecting me as they have in the past - but I am actually thrilled with Necon 777, and I think this will be a great option for me.

I have tried 6 other pill brands with multiple side effects (weight gain, headaches, sweat fits, cramps) before my doctor finally switched me to Necon 777. Its been a life saver so far. The ONLY one that actually regulated my period. I did retain water a bit more than usual but it quickly left when my period did. Highly recommend!

I am going on week three of a very heavy period. That's really all I have to complain about. It hasn't effected anything else, so I'm just going to give it another month to see if it regulates. I'm pretty satisfied with it overall.

It has been excellent for me and its done its job!Read More Read Less

My skin broke out, severe cramps (on a period that lasted 3 weeks with heavy bleeding), and my mood was uncontrollable. I have taken other birth control in the past but this one just took its toll on me. I just didn't feel like myself on this one- my moods were up and down. And the long period was so hard to take.

I had horrible cramps and break through bleeding all the time. I stopped it mid-cycle because of all the symptoms. I had dizzy spells and headaches, too. Still haven't got my period and I got off it 11 days ago.

I love this pill, however the satisfaction rating isn't as high since I have a hard time remembering to take it sometimes. I haven't had any problems from this and I have been on many different types of Birth Control. I don't have former problems I had like; vomiting for hours on end, severe migraines, severe stomach cramps, very bad depression, weight gain 10 lbs or so, muscle cramps and other annoying things.

This medication decreaed my appetitie (I have lost weight). I started taking the medication because of painful periods. It did not work for that. My vision has changed drastically in my left eye, and I have increased vaginal fluids. My menses still lasted 7 days but the flow has not been as heavy.

I love this pill. I've been on it for three years and recommend it to all my friends. The only downfall was I gained about 5 pounds but other than that it's great.

I had breakthrough bleeding all the time, makes me feel sick and cramps are horrible the only thing it helps is to keep me from being pregnant.
