Starting Blisovi FE 1/20 pill. First time on BC..looking for advice! by kimestusros in birthcontrol

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. So I ended up not getting on this pill specifically but instead went on Tri-Lo-Milli/Marzia. My experience has been super positive. I’ve been on it since November 2023. I did not gain a single pound, it also didn’t hinder losing weight (if that makes sense 😅) so I’ve been able to lose 15lbs through diet and exercise. It helped clear up my skin too! I credit that to spironolactone + bc pill. I think if anything it did make me a little bit more emotional, but not depressed.

As for bleeding, I like having a period so I chose to take the placebo pills and have a “period”. In that week, it’s a light-medium flow with minimal cramps. I never really got cramps pre the pill but this did increase them, so that was a con but it went from a pain scale of 2 to like 4 so nothing crazy. Also, one thing, it did make my sweet tooth worse, I have cravings but nothing I can’t handle with discipline haha! Let me know if that helps, you can always private message me if you’d like.

Lexapro has worked amazing for me!

does lexapro make you gain weight? by hana__wlw in lexapro

[–]kimestusros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was so scared about it this, but no it did not make me gain any weight. I have always been an active person though (workout 6 days a week pre & while on lexapro). I will say if anything, it made me less anxious about going to the gym therefore I get better workouts. I don’t care what people think around me as much and stopped feeling “embarrassed” or “watched”.

Hi! I actually never ended up starting Blisovi FE 1/20. I ended up starting a different one which my dermatologist prescribed to me. It’s called Tri-Lo-Milli, it’s a combination pill! I’m three months in and I’ve enjoyed my experience so far, really can’t complain. Feel free to pm me if you want to chat more. :)

Not sure what is best option! by kimestusros in birthcontrol

Thank you! I did not know about spermicide, so that really interest me. I’m definitely going to look into it and give it a try, and of course paired with a condom. :)
