"this is the only bc that i have been able to tolerate since i had my first child over 10 years ago. i had no problems prior to pregnancy. i had a hard time after my 2nd child. no period, thyroiditis, mood swings, depression...yuck! i have evened out now. i did have headaches, nausea, breast tenderness and mood swings in the beginning. currently on the 5th mo. i do suffer from insomnia but often wonder if viorele is making it worse. i had many other symptoms that were way worse than starting on viorele. it&#039;s calmed me and fatigue is trying to leave. my bowels are effected during the yellow pills and first few days of a new pack. meds effect everyone differently. i was about out of options, glad the side effects are diminishing."
