Effectiveness

How Tri-Previfem Affects PatientsEthinylestradiol is a synthetic version of the hormone estrogen. It helps reduce luteinizing hormone and gonadotrophic hormone levels in the body, which can reduce the growth of the lining of the womb and prevent ovulation. It is taken once a day and is considered to be a relatively safe drug, though patients should be aware of the risk of blood clotting.
How Tri-Previfem works in the bodyEthinylestradiol is a synthetic hormone that is used in combined oral contraceptives. It works by blocking the hormones that cause ovulation, making it harder for sperm to travel, and preventing changes in the uterus that allow for pregnancy. It also decreases luteinizing hormone levels, which lowers the amount of blood flow to the uterus. Lastly, it increases the amount of a protein (sex hormone binding globulin) that binds to hormones and stops them from working.

Tri-Previfem for Birth Control
This birth control has been my saving grace. I was on other pills before that gave me cramps, made my period irregular, and left me feeling emotionally out of balance; none of those problems exist now.

Tri-Previfem for Birth Control
I've been using this birth control for four years now, and it's never let me down. It cleared up my acne, made my boobs grow, and I haven't had any problems with it.

Tri-Previfem for Abnormal Bleeding from the Uterus
I can't speak highly enough of this medication for girls who have painful or long periods. This has been an absolute lifesaver for me and I haven't had to go to the ER once since starting it.

5/4/2020
Tri-Previfem for Acne
I've been on the pill for a few months now, and it's done wonders for my acne. My skin is completely clear, and I haven't had a pimple in weeks. However, I have gained some weight and my breasts have gotten slightly bigger, which isn't ideal. I'm really stressed about the weight gain because I never had issues with my weight before.

Tri-Previfem for Birth Control
This treatment was effective in preventing pregnancy, but it came with some serious side effects. I became an emotional wreck, crying at everything and getting extremely moody. My stomach pains were horrible, and the headaches were constant. I would not recommend this to anyone unless you are prepared to deal with some very unpleasant symptoms.

Tri-Previfem for Acne
I've been taking this for two months now. I came from Loryana in hopes of finding something more effective for my acne, and so far this has done wonders for clearing up my skin. The only downside is that I feel like I'm gaining weight and my stomach always looks bloated.

Tri-Previfem for Premenstrual Disorder with a State of Unhappiness
Though this pill did prevent pregnancy, I gained weight and experienced changes in mood that left me feeling very unhappy.

Tri-Previfem for Birth Control
I've found that the other commentators are accurate in their assessment of this treatment. It gives you headaches, your boobs grow but are incredibly tender for months, and you become moody and irritable. My boyfriend thinks I should stop taking it, but other research shows that the alternative treatments can cause cancer to activate and be 10 times worse. So hopefully I'll get less bitchy and psycho when I reach my one year mark. Good luck!

I had a really bad experience with this medicine. I was shaking all over, couldn't grab my cup, and couldn't sleep. I also had sharp abdominal pain and mood swings.

Tri-Previfem for Birth Control
Do not under any circumstances take this pill. It caused me severe anxiety and panic attacks for no reason, abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight gain, burning skin, and rashes all over my body.

Tri-Previfem for Birth Control
This pill was a complete disaster for me. Not only did it fail to prevent pregnancy, but it also caused me to gain 30lbs, go from a DD to an H cup, and suffer from panic attacks and depression. On top of all that, the physical changes it made to my body (and my voice) practically ruined my singing career. Thank you Tri Previfem, for ruining my life!
