A Review: Trinessa (birth control)

It has officially been my first month on birth control! I wanted to write a review because I was so afraid of actually trying Trinessa since all the reviews I could find were negative.

My reasoning for deciding to go on birth control and choosing this particular one was to help treat my acne. Very quickly I wanted to mention that I grew up with clear skin; It wasn't until I turned 20 years old that I rapidly broke out in cystic acne. It is the worst and by far the hardest issue I've ever experienced with my body. The most stressful part about having problematic skin is that I felt like nothing would work, I tried chemical peels, natural approaches, expensive face washes and my skin would only get worse. I cried, yall don't know the struggle like this shit is no fucking joke, It was embarrassing and painful, and also, fuck you.

I finally gave in to trying a birth control that would help me and would also be affordable. I didn't want to go on Trinessa because of everyone complaining that it broke them out, they lost hair, they were depressed/suicidal, extreme causes nausea, weight gain and even low sex drive??? lol. Basically nothing good, but I decided to take a chance and I am so glad I did. I have had little to no negative side affects from Trinessa and it has been so amazing for my skin, inflammation has significantly gone down and my acne has improved so much I haven't seen it this clear in months! Only thing is that my period lasted 5 days instead of my usual 3 days, my eyes have been dry/red and i'm tired a lot but it could be from working? I'm unfortunately not comfortable enough to post photos of before and after but I hope that this post helps.

Effectiveness: 4/5 (only because my skin isn't completely clear lol)
Ease of Use: 4/5 (only because I am forgetful, and I don't take it on time all the time)
Satisfaction: 5/5
