For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I started this birth control 3 weeks ago, and I have been bleeding every single day since! My mood swings are horrible. Let's just say I'm done! I refuse to wait it out, switching to another method asap! Would not recommend!"

For Acne "I started this pill barely a month ago (I get my period next week, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed), but I love it. I read so many terrible reviews before I started it, and I was super anxious, but now that I've been taking it, I actually like it more than the Mononessa that I had been on. I lost the weight that I gained from the Mononessa, my skin stopped breaking out aside from a few pimples here and there, and it doesn't make me nauseous like Mononessa did. I used to have cystic acne around my jawline and sometimes on my cheeks, and I've gotten 1-2 since starting, but they went away in literally a day's time. I was honestly amazed. I'm a pharmacy tech, so I knew it wouldn't be much of a change, but I didn't think it would be this much better! If you're unsure about it, give it a chance just because everyone's bodies are different. You could be one of the few like me that it works miracles on. :)"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "This has been the worst experience! I am 39 and just got put on birth control for the first time due to PCOS. I took Junel for 3 months with no major side effects other than almost constant bleeding, so I was switched to this to control the bleeding. I’ve taken this for one week and can’t get out of bed. I’m getting hot flashes/chills and very nauseous. I have no appetite, and thinking about food makes me gag. I’ve alternated between constipation and diarrhea. My anxiety is through the roof, and it takes effort to leave my house. I get dizzy/shaky and feel faint every day, and my heart is racing. I am going to stop taking this and hope I can get back to normal."

For Birth Control "I'm a 19-year-old girl who, after a pregnancy scare, decided to go on birth control. I was nervous getting back on it since I was on B-Yaz before, and it was horrible for me. I got on this in late March, and I haven't had much issue at all. I have diagnosed depression and anxiety and haven't had an issue with it getting any worse. I have gained a little weight, but it's probably my eating habits and not the pill. My periods are one day of spotting, two regular days (only have to change my pad every 8 hours, really), and another 2 days where I just wear a liner. My husband and I have been having completely unprotected sex except for the pill since and have had no issues with the protection. Cramps are almost non-existent. Been great."

For Birth Control "Everybody, EVERYBODY reacts differently to medications, especially birth control! I read all of these negative comments and popped the first pill, and I’m still breathing, y’all! I’m on week 3, and my face is SO CLEAR, and it’s literally like glowing, lol. I suffer from mild depression, and this doesn’t touch it. Not pregnant, didn’t gain weight, sleeping okay, lol. I love this pill. You never know how you will react to a medication until you try it (with the permission of your doctor). If you don’t like it-great, then be responsible, throw it out, and use a backup birth control like condoms and spermicide until you get into the doctor’s office. :)"

For Acne "The first two months of use, I broke out bad. I read reviews that said this might happen as it's balancing everything out. I stuck with it. 14 months in and I'm a happy girl. Little to no cramping (used to be quite severe), 3-4 days of light bleeding, and my skin is so happy! Occasionally get a pimple or two, but absolutely no more cystic acne! My moods are balanced and I haven't experienced weight gain. I didn't experience any nausea or abnormal pain. I'm 37 and this is the right pill for me."

For Birth Control "This birth control put me in the hospital. A month in, I was continuously projectile vomiting, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea, extremely dehydrated, and the most intense stomach pains I have ever felt in my life. I have switched to Junel Fe and still have symptoms in my stomach. Birth control ruined my life."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Well, I am really glad I came on here to see I wasn't the only one with the experiences I have been having. So, I decided to add my comments in as I was trying to use Estarylla for abnormal bleeding. I initially would pretty much bleed weeks out of the month, granted some weeks lighter than others, so the doctor recommended this brand. It was not effective for my problem (actually bleeding more), and the side effects it gave me scared me. I became severely depressed, crazy mood swings, sex drive dived down to zero, and weight gain. I am 42 years old, unsure if age is a factor with this birth control pill but...."

For Birth Control "This is the first birth control pill I’ve ever been on, and I was a little scared when I read the reviews on Estarylla. Now I’m on month 6, and everything stayed normal or improved. My weight did not change at all that I am aware of, might be since I do workout 5x a week and/or have a “balanced” diet. At times, I notice that my boobs might be a little bigger than usual, but I believe it may be part of natural “pmsing.” My periods got so much lighter, usually, last 4-5 days at most, and only the first day is a heavier flow. No cramps like I used to experience and no mood swings either. I only get very small spots of acne a week before my period, but other than that, my skin is clear all month! Haven’t had pregnancy scares either."

For Birth Control "Unlike a lot of the reviews on here, I had a positive experience with Estarylla. I have been on two different pills before my pharmacy switched me to Estarylla. Some background on my experience with birth control pills, the first pill I was on was terrible. I gained 10 lbs in 2.5 months, had breakthrough bleeding all the time even if I was taking my pill at the same time every day, and felt like a different person with zero emotion. The second pill I was on (Sprintec) was better but still not great. Looking back, my major side effects on Sprintec were irritability/moody, fatigue, and some breakthrough bleeding. My pharmacy switched my prescription from Sprintec to Estarylla. To my surprise, this is my favorite of the three pills. My PMS moodiness/irritability was gone, I have experienced no breakthrough bleeding even if I take a pill late, and I feel great. Don’t be afraid of negative reviews when trying birth control pills because you’ll never know how your body will respond until you take it."

For Birth Control "Honestly, Estarylla has been the best birth control I have ever used. I have tried six others! I have never had irregular bleeding, have no cramps, and very light bleeding! I am just wondering how many people have gotten pregnant on this pill while taking it correctly!"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I’ve been on this Estarylla birth control for about 5 months now, and for 3 of those 5 months, I have not stopped bleeding. Would not recommend this pill. My doctor never made it apparent to me the awful side effects."

For Birth Control "After years of being on this birth control, I just finally figured out that it’s what’s been making me sick all this time! This pill gives me debilitating nausea and vomiting for the first couple weeks of my pack every month. This pill has major side effects compared to other birth controls. My girls will be SO sore for a whole week, I’m like an emotional roller coaster, and as mentioned before, the nausea and vomiting. If you’re looking to switch birth controls or are just looking at this because your insurance changed your brand, run. DO NOT TAKE THIS."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "My whole life I’ve had irregular periods, and without having some guidance, I didn’t seek medical help until now because I had abnormal bleeding (I bled for 2 months straight). My doctor told me to take Estarylla for the next 3 months to see how it would affect my flow. Once I started taking it, it immediately helped slow down and stop my flow. 2 weeks later, my period came back, but I expected it to because the birth control is to regulate my period. I had my period for way longer than I’ve ever had it (typically have it for 5 days, and then I’m good, but this time it lasted a week and a half). Then I got a 4-day break, and my period came back AGAIN. Called my doctor to ask what to do, and all I was told was this is normal. This medication also gives really bad gas and stomach pains, acne, and mood swings. DO NOT RECOMMEND TAKING."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I went to go get my regular BC from my pharmacy about three months ago when I saw they put me on Estarylla. My periods now last longer than 2 weeks instead of the normal 5 days I am used to. Ladies, trust me, it's not just you. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL, WHATEVER YOU DO!"

For Birth Control "I'm so glad I decided to Google this medication and found these reviews. I thought I was going NUTS! My hormones are out of control on this medication. Like others, my pharmacy switched me to Estarylla from Sprintec. I was fine on the Sprintec, but on this stuff - I've had HORRIBLE mood swings, my acne is out of control, spotting, nausea, weight gain, headaches. I thought I was pregnant! I'll be switching as soon as I can."

For Birth Control "In April of 2019, I started Norethindrone. I experienced bleeding almost every two weeks, so I asked my doctor what I should do. She changed me to Estarylla in September. Within two months, my periods were regular again. Like clockwork, my period starts on the Wednesday of my “period week” and usually lasts until Sunday or Monday. Also, I used to get migraines very often, and now I rarely get them. I do have to say that I take my pills in the morning at 7:30 without eating, and I do experience slight nausea around 2-3 occasionally. Other than that, I’ve had a positive response to this medicine."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "This was the worst birth control I have ever taken. I was previously on MonoNessa, which I loved, but then was switched to this generic. I never had an issue with abnormal bleeding (been on MonoNessa about 6 years) and am on an SSRI, so my mood is pretty stabilized. However, about 5 months into this generic, I had the worst month of my life. I bled clots of blood for a month straight and had to go to the doctor. Additionally, I felt so depressed all the time and had suicidal thoughts almost daily, even when taking my SSRI. I recently switched to a new birth control and feel 100X better. This birth control was awful. Would not recommend for anyone."

For Birth Control "First birth control I have ever tried, and I love it so far. I've been on it for a few months. I noticed on here it has a lot of negative reviews, like people say everyone's body is different. Just as insight, I'm 19 years old and around 155 pounds. This birth control did not make me gain or lose weight. I noticed I haven't gotten as much acne since I started. My skin is almost completely clear. The only negative side effect that I really noticed and that my bf noticed as well is that I've gotten more irritable and emotional around the days I'm about to get my period, something that didn't happen to me before. Honestly, this isn't a terrible side effect for me personally, it's extremely bearable. I would definitely recommend this pill."

For Birth Control "Estarylla is the first brand of birth control I tried, and I'm finally changing my BC pills now. I hate the way these pills made me feel. At first, I didn't realize what was going on with me, I was thinking I'm going crazy in my own head. Severe mood swings, I felt depressed all the time. My anxiety got WAY worse. I'm finally getting off these pills. The good part is my period got regular, and my cramps are not as bad, but I can't do Estarylla anymore. I do not recommend this brand to any girl. If you want to stay happy and enjoy your life."

For Ovarian Cysts "I hate to write a review this awful, but I have to. People should know how life-altering this pill is. I started taking Estarylla a week ago and had to throw them in the trash. If you have, or have ever had, any bouts with anxiety or depression, do not even look at this pill. I don’t remember a time I have felt so low and lethargic, and then let’s not forget the cystic acne that popped up on my jaw and chin. If it works for you, that’s great, but it has torn me up!"

For Birth Control "I have only been using Estarylla for a month now, and within this month, it has been the WORST! It has dried my skin, especially my hands and around my mouth. I have been spotting this whole time, and it has caused BAD mood swings. I have gone into deep depression, had really dark thoughts. My attitude has been horrible, especially my emotions. I'll cry after having a moment of dark thoughts, and it's just a cycle. I have lost my appetite. The medicine has given me a yeast infection as well. Everybody's body is different, but I do not recommend this medication."

For Birth Control "I was on Mononessa for almost three years and was switched to this pill. I enjoy it! I didn’t have any side effects, and my period isn’t as long and heavy as it was on Mononessa. I had a little dry patch of skin on my face I normally never get. Not sure if it’s from the pill or just the cold weather, but I exfoliated and moisturized, and it’s gone. My skin did not break out, I didn’t gain weight, and I feel fine. It’s always worth a shot to try it because everyone’s body is different."

For Ovarian Cysts "I was prescribed this form of BC to help treat my PCOS and irregular periods. I've been taking Estarylla (previously Mononessa) for about 10 years now. To be honest, I think it works very well. My periods are light flow, light cramping, and always on time. My acne has always been mild and usually only on my face. I do experience some depression and anxiety, but I figure that's just me. It is important to take this at the same time every day for best results. I also recommend drinking plenty of water (because it's great for your body! :)"

For Acne "Estarylla cleared up my skin. I’ve been on it for about 7 months, and I didn’t notice a difference until about 3 or 4 months in. My breakouts are at a minimal now. I tried about 5 other birth control pills before finding this one that finally gave me minimal side effects. I had severe hormonal acne and giant cysts on my chin and neck until taking this."
