I went to this web site because I want to help my wife. She's been on Jolessa for 8 weeks now. As of this week, her heart has been "fluttering" for lack of a better word. She went to the ER room and they said basically that nothing's wrong with her but she is experiencing premature ventricular contractions (PVC's) which are not dangerous (according to the doctors). She asked the doc's if she should stop taking Jolessa and of course they said,"no."

We're wondering if anyone else is experiencing this feeling with this junk? My wife is 38 years old, healthy, never had heart problems or disorders. As of the past few weeks though,she's been feeling down in the dumps, sluggish and has a slight mode change.

If anyone is experiencing a change in heart rhythm, since taking Jolessa, please post it here. Thank you.

I started taking Jolessa after having been off birth control for about 1.5 years. Previously I was on Mircette and didn't have any problems. Within a few days of starting Jolessa, I felt depressed and not myself. I felt like I was retaining water and felt 10 pounds heavier. I thought maybe my body had to get use to the hormones, but after 3 weeks of side effects, I couldn't take it anymore and went off it. Within a few days of stopping Jolessa, I felt like myself again. After reading many of these posts, I plan on trying ortho tri-cylcen lo, as it seems people have fewer side effects with that.

I have been on Jolessa for 3 months now. As of now I have been experiencing this "breakthrough bleeding" for a full 2 months now. Once every two weeks I have mild cramping and I have gained at least 10-15 lbs. Each time I call the doctor I am told to give it a little while longer and that if I am still bleeding by 4th month that we will have to do something else. Also I am told to take 3 Advils 3 times a day as well and eat a lot of food filled with iron and protein (for energy). I am tired all the time, headaches and unusually depressed. I cry at the drop of a hat too. I am not happy about this at all and all of this was to control the bad cramping and clotting of the regular 7-10 day periods I was having. Any suggestions out there? Each Birth Control Method I click on on this web page seems to have the similar side effects. Is there any relief from this?
