"i&#039;m 23 and have been on trinessa for 4 months. i switched from loestrin 24 for affordability. for reference, i experience very heavy cramps and bleeding and about a week long period when not on birth control.



i have about a 3 day period that is moderate to heavy (it doesn&#039;t lighten my period very much, but it does shorten it). cramps are reduced. the week of my period i experience noticeable mood swings (unlike when i was on loestrin, and didn&#039;t experience any). but overall, i am very happy with this birth control. it&#039;s extremely affordable, shortens my period, lightens cramps, and does not cause mood swings outside of when i normally would right before my period.



i would recommend giving it a shot!"
