Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | prevented unwanted pregnancy. Regular menstrual cycles. |
| Side effects: | | None for me. |
| Comments: | | I have friends who hated their birth control pills -- their pills made them feel bloated and fat. I had none of those side effects while on TriPhasil/Trivora. It's really simple -- just take one a day -- and pretty effective. It worked for me for more than 10 years. A bonus: my menstrual cycles, which used to be somewhat irregular, became as predictable as clockwork. |

Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | general medical benefits: contraception, hormone management. Personal benefits: i controlled my weight better, skin looked more radiant and menstruation pains were alot less than when i was not on the medication. As i grew older though i have been warned of being on contraception after 32 and I am also a smoker, this apparently increases the risk of cancer. However, after terminating the pill I had a huge amount of hair loss over 8 months which I was never warned about |
| Side effects: | | side effects - when leaving the pill - i started losing my hair - alot of it |
| Comments: | | daily dosage, usually taken at night time, managed my weight, and helped with my skin as well as a contraceptive |
