I started using Tri-Cyclen last year and I'm still using it - seems like an overwhelming testimonial, doesn't it? What I like in the drug most of all? It is the fact that it is a low-hormone birth control medication that alongside with perfect effectiveness has no horrible side effects other hormone pills have. It was a friend of mine who advised me this wonderful medication. She has been using it for 4 years and later when she decided it was time to have family, she stopped using the drug and after some 3-4 months she got pregnant! So it doesn't affect your future ability to have kids! Excellent medication!

I'm 32 years old and I have been using Tri-Cyclen since 2011, so it has been 2 years now. During this period I have had no problems with the medication. It is an absolutely amazing medication I have been looking for for a long time. Actually my way to birth control medications was long and full of fears. When I was a teenager my elder sister told me that it is very dangerous to take pills "cause you'll get damn fat, you'll have horrible side-effects because of the hormones, like hair growing on your face and rude voice". All these scary stories got really deep into me and as a young girl I haven't even considered an opportunity of taking birth control pills. I preferred condoms in any case. But that was risky and once the risk increased dramatically and I got pregnant at a very uncomfortable time. I was about to get the job I dreamt about and this pregnancy... it was against all my life plan. So I had an abortion. Later the doctor told me that because of the abortion and the fact that it was my first pregnancy, I could face problems when I would like to have a child. And that was the first time I thought about being a mother and about the risk never to become a mother. That case broke something in me and I decided to switch to medicamental birth control methods. First I tried some more or less effective drugs, but then my doctor advised me Tri-Cyclen. That was a blessing! It not only helps me control childbirth and has no side effects, but it also stabilized my periods! Now my period is a bit shorter than before and it always comes on time. Next year my boyfriend and I are going to get married and then I'll stop using Tri-Cyclen. And I believe I will have no problems with getting pregnant and giving birth to a beautiful healthy baby!

What I like most in Tri-Cyclen is the sense of confidence it provides me. With this birth control medication I'm 100% sure everything goes according to my plan. I won't have an unexpected pregnancy and at the same time my body functions will stay in perfect conditions by the time I decide to get a baby. Now about the drug in brief: It is really 100% effective in terms of birth control. Personally I noticed no side effects. It is a low-hormone drug so you don't start gaining crazy weight. What is absolutely marvelous about Tri-Cyclen is that it makes periods regular (if you had some "vibrations") and a bit shorter (I used to have periods for 6 days, almost a week! And now they last only 4 days!) and that rocks! Besides before Tri-Cyclen I had some problems with my skin, some minor acne, but after I switched to this drug my faced got clear and shiny - a wonderful side effect!) in general I would 100% recommend it to other women who seek confidence.
