"i have been on birth control for about 5 years but i had to switch brands due to yaz being discontinued. i tried another brand at the beginning of the year with no luck. i&#039;ve been taking trinessa for 2 months and i has been awful! i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant which is a good thing but the side effects are extreme. i have gained about 5 lbs and i am bloated. i have had very bad cramps; they are so bad that my back even hurts. i have always suffered from migraines and they have been controlled but within the last week they have been awful. i am going to see my gyno next week to explore some other options.
