Zovia
birth control
"I take birth control mostly to take care of my extremely heavy periods and hormonal acne. This is by far the best birth control I have been on for ME. I originally started on Zovia 1/35 (after already trying 2-3 different kinds of pills), which worked beautifully for a year until I began experiencing spotting and my DR recommended upping the estrogen and trying out the 1/50. When I first started it, I had horrible nausea because my body wasn't used to that amount of hormones, but that didn't last long. My skin was completely cleared up and periods were the lightest they've ever been. Really loved this pill but I'm on Mononessa now because my new gyno was scared of the amount of hormones I was putting into my body. Never had side effects on this."
