"I've been on this pill for a month. This is my first birth control, so I don't have much experience. But let me just say, I have cried almost every day since starting, I've been moody and depressed for the past 4 weeks, I get extreme headaches, and I've been on my period now for nearly 2 weeks, so I'm not even having sex anymore. I'm stopping this pill, it's ruining my quality of life, and I cannot stand the side effects. And I'm out of town, so I need to wait another week before seeing my doctor. Please stay away from this pill, find something different, it's not worth it."

"I am 48 and was put on birth control due to heavy, long periods. I've never used BC pills before this. I had been bleeding heavily for 38 days and was super anemic, so my doctor started me on this BC. Within 2 hours of taking my first pill, I stopped bleeding and was just spotting for about a day. I was so happy. I wasn't having any bad side effects, my period seemed controlled. About 8 weeks went by and I started having bad pain in my leg (it was a weird pain that felt like a charley horse, but only when I stood or sat. It went away when I laid down). About 4 days with the pain, I went to the ER and was diagnosed with a DVT blood clot. The doctor said it was related to the BC."

"I have been taking this pill for over 6 months, and it is amazing! I used to have very abnormal periods, but now I only get my period for 4 days with little to no cramps. The only problem I had was I broke out for the first month and a half on the pill, but then my body started to get used to it. Also, it made my boobs huge!!! Definitely just wait it out and see how it works for your body! Mental health-wise, I felt fine. Don’t let these reviews scare you because they scared me, and I ended up being just fine :)"

"I'm fairly new to this pill. I have had very heavy, painful periods for the past few months, so my doctor prescribed me this. I'm only in my first week, but very hesitant on staying with it. I started the day of my period. I've had little cramps and light bleeding, so that's great and all, but for the past four days, I've had the most annoying headache. Not sure if this pain in my head is worth being cramp-free."

"I started taking Estarylla three months ago because I needed to take a birth control with a higher estrogen dose in hopes of getting rid of my ectropion cervix. The first month I was on Estarylla, I was very nauseous all the time, and I bled for about a month straight. My period normalized after that, but my periods during the placebo week were extremely heavy, and I was bleeding through ultra tampons. I am now on my third month, and I am experiencing breakthrough bleeding all the time. The only positive about this birth control is that it cleared my skin."

"I took this pill because I'm anemic, and my doctor previously put in an IUD to cure my anemia, but the IUD came out itself, so she told me to take birth control pills, which is this one. It seems like it helped me to stop bleeding, but since 10-15 days, I felt like I have shortness of breath, and my heartbeat is very fast. I don't know why she prescribed me this, maybe because I have Amerigroup insurance, or some other reason. I went to my doctor for a checkup, and he said I might have a blood clot in my lungs. My life is messed up now."

"Started taking this on December 28th of 2016 or so... I was on my period for an entire month, and it was extremely heavy with blood clots, the BC cleared it up about 5 days later. For that, I love it. I had no side effects until my period started this week. I have very bad cramps, much like the ones I had when my period was more regular, and I've been passing large blood clots and have had heavy bleeding. To cut my period short, I'm starting my next pack. Honestly, a really cruddy week-long period is better than a pretty cruddy month-long period, so I'm happy."

"I was prescribed this medication due to having a history of irregular and heavy menstrual cycles. I was also told this medication would help with acne. Estarylla has helped clear my acne as my heavy cycles have completely cleared up. However, this medication has caused prolonged cycles lasting for months at a time. I have also noticed that my mental health has gotten significantly worse throughout the course of taking this pill as I do not feel like myself, which has never happened while taking different pills (I have been on certain BC pills for years prior). Overall, I would avoid this medication, but everyone responds differently. After reading many reviews, it seems prolonged periods are common, so anyone who is recommended this pill needs to take this into consideration. If you already struggle with depression, I would also consider that a factor as this pill may worsen depression."

"Honestly, it did its job in regulating my period, but I was a completely different person. I had mood swings, slept for long hours during the day, and was always so drowsy. One of the good things was that it did help with my headaches as well. My acne also got way better, and I never had to worry about cramping and heavy bleeding when I was on my period. I think the hormones really affect one's mood and feelings. Like I said, I didn't like the fact that I slept so much and didn't feel like myself, but I appreciate the good things it did. Weight gain-wise, I'm not sure, I think my appetite got stronger and I gained a few pounds on my own, but I'm starting a new BC (Mili), and I hope the only side effect is mood changes!"

"I was originally on Femynor, and everything was well. Then my doctor prescribed me the generic version of it, Estarylla. Estarylla gave me lots of anxiety, mood swings, breast tenderness, upset stomachs daily, and it did nothing to shorten my periods or stop the flow from being so heavy. I decided to finally stop taking it once I began to bleed nonstop every day for three weeks. I consulted a gyno about it, and they swapped me to Loryna. I hope my period stops being such a nightmare."

"I was prescribed this only for hormones. I had a tubal ligation, so the actual birth control was not an issue. After I was in my 4th month, symptoms became evident that this was not the pill for me. I was nauseous every morning, no sex drive to the point my husband considered the possibility of an affair (which totally was the opposite), night sweats, dryness, major mood instability with a lot of irritation (I was annoyed super easily), constant crazy urinating, felt dehydrated, my insulin levels high, strange/longer periods, and 30 extra pounds. My cramps, however, did go down a lot."

"Been on Estarylla for about 3 weeks now. Been taking it consistently at the same time every day. Within the first week, I was randomly projectile vomiting without warning and breaking out really badly. Now, on week 3, those issues have resolved, my skin is actually really good, just seems very oily, but I’ve been breakthrough bleeding for 8 days. I don’t want to give up on the pill yet, but I don’t know how much longer I can handle bleeding like this. It’s also made me experience depression again, but no weight gain that I can tell. I’m very frustrated with the bleeding, but I’m going to keep taking the pill to see if it resolves."

"I started taking Estarylla 3 weeks ago, and I instantly started bleeding and having cramps. I decided to wait a couple of weeks to see if it would go away, but it has only gotten worse. I bleed heavily and have cramps every single day, not to mention how irritable I’ve become. When I got prescribed Estarylla, my doctor didn’t even tell me the name of it before I picked it up. I went into it completely blindly. I was on birth control a couple of years ago, and nothing like this ever happened, and it even made my periods painless and less heavy. Please do your research and just get a better birth control."

"So far, I've been on this pill for about 2 months now. With that being said, I'm also a 'smoker.' On the label for its warnings, it specifically says do not take if you smoke. I called my doctor, and she said it will be fine. Well, now I've been bleeding longer than 2 weeks, so I'm going to finish out this week and see. Hope it will get better :) But please do your homework on this medicine, but also on any and all kinds."

"I am bleeding so heavy, it is now going on a month. This month, I have already been through 4 packs of Always overnight pads. Clots so big it scares me. I am crying because my fiancé and I are trying to have a baby, and this medication has done the complete opposite. I was only put on this for 2 months due to PCOS hormonal acne. I am so mad! DON'T, I REPEAT, DON'T TAKE ESTARYLLA!!!!"

"Horrible. I get breakthrough bleeding weeks before my period, and then it lasts for what feels like forever. Switching to a different birth control in 2 weeks. HORRIBLE."
