I've been taking Camrese Tablets 91s for the past year, and while I love the convenience of only having 4 periods a year, I've also experienced a few side effects. I'm curious to hear from others who have tried Camrese or similar extended-cycle birth control pills. What have your experiences been like? Have you encountered any major side effects, and if so, how did you deal with them? I've had some spotting and increased breast tenderness, but nothing too severe. I've also noticed some weight gain and mild headaches. The benefits of fewer periods and lighter flow are worth it for me, but I wish I had more information before starting. I did receive a lot of important info from my gynecologist, but it would be great to hear from others who've tried this. For me, I tried progestin-only pills in the past, but they caused horrible mood swings. I'm hoping to switch to Camrese permanently or perhaps explore other extended-cycle options.
