Apri BC pill

Side effects!?

has anyone ever taken the pill apri? If so, what was ur experience with it? I'm switching from gianvi to apri and i'm kind of nervous to start the whole transition over again of starting a new pill because it just is a sucky process adjusting.

I took apri years ago, not for BC but for menstrual regulation. I, personally, hated it. I felt like every part of my body was bloated (even shit like my fingers and my ears that should NEVER feel bloated) and I didn't feel like myself. I stopped after 3 months. Idk if my experience was the norm, but there's my story.

I took apri for 5 years and felt fine. I was maybe a little emotional on my period but I was fine. I spent 2 1/2 years with a period every month, then spent the last 2 1/2 with a period every 3 months. Didnt notice a change. Only switched to the nuvaring after I started a new position at work that caused me to miss my pills and gained some weight as a result. I think its different for everyone and just see how it goes.
