I am usually awakened by heavy flow at some point during the night. I have to sleep on a towel to protect my bedding. I have ruined several pairs of pants and a set of sheets. I get gushes of blood every time I stand up, and 3-4 jumbo clots every time I go to the bathroom. Forget about tampons, as there isn’t one that could handle this. I’m soaking about 10 overnight pads per day.
I have only been taking it for 3 weeks, but I have been bleeding very heavily the entire time! This is way more than my normal periods, and definitely beyond spotting or “breakthrough” bleeding. I knew that it would take my body several months to adjust to the pill, so I started taking it in November with hopes of being period-free by my 20th anniversary trip in late January. "I had my tubes tied about 5 years ago and only started Amethyst to stop my periods. Oh! And my face broke out a lot! I had my acne under control so well :( So, time to find a new birth control because these are not side effects I can tolerate for the next potential 5-11 months.īUT! One positive- I had lots of sex without using condoms and didn't get pregnant. I am now unpredictably emotional, irritable, and randomly sad. I had been feeling great beforehand on a mood stabilizer for my emotional fluctuations- but once I started this I felt like I had digressed. Right, this is normal in the beginning, I get it.

Now I've been bleeding since! At first it was just a little spotting, then brownish discharge (fun), then full on bleeding.

The first 3 weeks were great! I started it on the second day of my period and it stopped it! Then I was free until 3 weeks ago. I really hoped the reviews I'd read magically wouldn't apply to me but alas, they did. "Currently on week 6 of Amethyst and looking to switch. I’m very hopeful the results only continue to get better & that my periods stop completely." If you have never experienced this you cannot even begin to imagine how horrible that feeling is. Even if it doesn’t stop them completely I can live with the lighter days. I usually can’t run for 3-4 days per month on my period.
But it has actually been tolerable! I went to the store & was not afraid of leaking. I have been taking Amethyst for almost 4 weeks now. I don’t like taking bc as the hormones make me crazy. My periods are so bad I’m afraid to stand up or sleep for at least 2 days every month. They left a few smaller ones as they said they would not be an issue as I should go into menopause by the time they might have grown so the dr did not perform a hysterectomy. I have fibroids & had several removed 5 years ago. "I’m 48 & suffered from HORRIBLE periods for years. I am lucky that I found something good for me."

The other secret is that this BC is just not right for every body and finding the right fit takes trial and error. Water is recommended, maybe even some food. The secret is to really stick to one time a day, especially with the lower hormone dose. I'm very happy and will continue with amethyst. Now in my second year, I very rarely have spotting. I have occasionally had almost a very light period at times the first year, mostly during times of high stress. Oddly, I had no spotting until 5 months in. I switched from a monthly BC period to amethyst because not having a period would fit my lifestyle. I have not noticed changes in my physical shape over the years since it has been a part of my life for a long time. I have taken BC since I was 19 in various forms. My experience has been mostly positive and that's lucky for me. "Just like every birth control (BC) pill, this one is not right for everyone.
