I've been on Kurvelo for a few months now and I've noticed some side effects that I'm not sure are normal. I've experienced dizziness, headache, and some changes in my menstrual cycle. I'm anxious about the possibility of more serious side effects, especially since I've heard that blood clots can be a risk. Has anyone else had any unusual experiences with this birth control? What do I do if I notice any of the urgent side effects? I'd love to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience. Also, what are the best ways to manage some of these side effects, if possible?

I get it’s a bit scary, but we all have experiences and side effects are normal. It's better to have some discomfort than an unwanted pregnancy.

I had a friend who got really bad vaginal bleeding and had to go to the ER. Take it seriously, ladies.

I tried Kurvelo, but I couldn't handle the weight gain and mood swings. I switched to a different pill and it's been much better.

I feel like a lot of the side effects people experience on birth control can be managed by making small changes to your diet and lifestyle. For me, it was a lot of stress and anxiety eating junk food. I started eating healthier and exercising more, and my symptoms went away.

I got severe migraines on Kurvelo, my doctor recommended a different brand and it's been much better so far.

Side effects are tough, but at least this pill works well for pregnancy prevention, unlike some other brands I've used.

Watch out for the sun exposure! I got some dark patches on my face, and it wasn’t pretty. Always wear sunscreen now, and I am good.
