Birth Control
"This will be my 4th month using Kariva. The only thing it helped with (besides preventing pregnancy) was making my period shorter. I went from 8 long, heavy and painful days to only 2 very light, no pain days! Other than that, I&#039;ve been miserable . It hasn&#039;t helped with acne at all, it actually started to cause body acne which I&#039;ve never had. Also, a huge issue that I have, I&#039;m VERY dry down there; causing it to hurt during my period when I want to insert a tampon AND painful sex. I can&#039;t even begin to describe how painful it is, it&#039;s like my insides are being torn apart &amp; the pain doesnt go away for hours after trying to have sex. Its taking a huge toll on my relationship. I would not recomennd this pill. I will have to talk to my dr soon."
