For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Insurance wouldn't cover the usual, so I was given this one. Well, only one week, and I feel crazed. Heart rate off, breathing labored, sweats, fatigued but can't sleep, super restless. And on day 7, I said - it's this pill. Mind you, also bleeding on it. Never have I ever had side effects from birth control, but this one makes me just feel off. Looked up anxiety and boom, all my symptoms. This pill made me super anxious. I am done. No more for me."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "This was my first time getting on the pill. My doctor put me on Estarylla, and everything just went downhill from there. I was aware of the side effects, granted this is my first time being on the pill. But I have never felt so awful in my life. By the third week, I hit a wall with depression, so uncomfortably bloated, tons of nausea that never went away and abdominal pains. I finally called and told them what’s up, and they are wanting to switch me to Sprintec. Everyone’s bodies are different, but Estarylla made me feel the lowest of lows."

For Birth Control "I was originally on Sprintec, then switched to Estarylla so I didn’t have to pay every month for birth control. I experienced weight gain at first, but once my body got used to the hormones, my weight dropped down back to normal (but my boobs did get bigger, so that’s a plus). I was so shocked to read all the negative reviews. I haven’t really ever had any problems on this birth control, no pregnancy scares, and my period is extremely regular. The only thing that’s annoying is that my period continues for an extra 3 days, and it’s just really light spotting, but that also happened before I started birth control. My periods were extremely heavy, I’m talking bleeding through an ultra tampon after 3 hours, and now it is so much better. I do still have cramps, but they are so much better than they were prior to birth control."

For Birth Control "I have never in my life had acne, but ever since I have been taking Estarylla tablets 28s, I have acne, and my period doesn't come on time, it comes 4 days late. I always take it at the same time every day and never miss a day. I would NOT recommend it to anyone."

For Birth Control "I've been on this birth control for about six months, and I've had no problems. My acne has cleared up. I have no cramps or any tenderness in my breasts before or after my period. And it's been really good for my headaches, and I suggest that you take this pill after you eat dinner, it just seems to help me much better."

For Birth Control "I've taken this pill for one month, and so far the first week I was absolutely fine. Then the second week I started to be a little bit down, and then the third week I literally cried at least three times a day. I became very tired, and I had no motivation to do anything. I slept 12-14 hours, or I didn't sleep at all. I've been angry and irritable over the slightest things. I am 15, and normally I'm a very bubbly, positive, energetic person, and I don't even feel like me anymore. I've been really depressed. I'm very highly disappointed with this pill. It was the first birth control I've ever used. I used it to regulate my period, so far it's done its job I suppose, however, the side effects and mood that I've been in are most certainly not worth it. Don't take it."

For Birth Control "I started taking the pill form of birth control at the age of 16 and stopped at 23 when I experienced a pulmonary embolism in my lung due to this drug that almost killed me. On top of the blood clot, I had severe acute necrotizing pneumonia (which I believe I contracted due to the dead lung tissue from the blood clot). I was in the best shape of my life in terms of fitness: a Muay Thai martial artist and a recreational bodybuilding weightlifter. My fitness and my youth saved my life. I was the sickest patient in the ICU step-down. I still have PTSD. Think twice if you want to take this birth control. There are much safer options (such as the Mirena IUD that I am now on). My gyno also had me on years of Premarin, which I had stopped taking months prior to my blood clot. Regardless of the Premarin boosting my chances, it is still not worth the risk by taking this drug. Avoid taking this at all costs and use a safer birth control option that is non-systemic. It’s rare until it happens to you."

For Acne "This worked wonders for my skin. I used to have bad cystic acne and tried everything in the book (except birth control). My dermatologist recommended it, and I have maybe had 2 breakouts in 8 months, and my skin is just prettier. I have gained a substantial amount of weight since taking it, but I am not sure if that is the pill or I am just getting older and my metabolism is slowing. If you struggle with acne cysts, I highly recommend this pill."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I started Estarylla 3 months ago due to prolonged bleeding caused by my previous pill. Estarylla stopped my month-and-a-half-long period almost immediately. Unfortunately, this is the only good thing that I've found since being on the pill. I have severe nausea and vomiting weekly, loss of appetite, extremely sore, swelling breasts but no change in size, spotting, heavy bloating, and mood swings. Little things seem to make me irritated and angry. It seems like the side effects are beginning to die down going into the 4th month, but it's hard to tell. The only reason it has 3 stars is because it stopped my prolonged bleeding and I'm not pregnant. I will not continue use if my body doesn't adjust soon."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "This is supposed to be my second month on Estarylla, after not taking birth control for over 8 years. I’ve never experienced mood swings (although I’m naturally moody) on any birth control until now. Estarylla has made me so depressed, I constantly had headaches (and I very rarely get headaches), and the bleeding this month was insane. I was passing blood clots the size of my fist and went to the ER because I was so worried. They said everything was fine, and I wasn’t prescribed anything to stop or slow the bleeding... but I know that this isn’t normal. Gonna find a new birth control because Estarylla is not the answer for me. I started taking it because I was having bleeding between periods for a few months, and I wanted to be more regular. This did regulate my cycle, but I’d rather be irregular than have the massive amount of bleeding that I did on my cycle."

For Acne "I was prescribed Estarylla by my gynecologist in an attempt to lessen my hormonal acne. That said, I did some research on Estarylla before I took it and came across an overwhelming amount of negative reviews. Despite that, I trusted my gynecologist and decided to try Estarylla. WORST. DECISION. OF. MY. LIFE! I suffered from minor side effects such as breast tenderness and back aches, all the way to more severe side effects like horrible mood alterations, paranoia, and heightened anxiety levels. My panic was so bad at one point in the day that I had to take my prescription anxiety medication to calm me down (which I haven’t had to do in months). I’m not saying “don’t try Estarylla,” as all bodies are made different, but please be careful and consult your doctor first!!!"

For Birth Control "I am about halfway through my first pill pack, and I am having pretty good success so far. This is my first time taking birth control, but so far there have been no side effects and no real changes. Reading the reviews here had me worried, but so far for me, everything seems to be fine. I guess I'll have to report back in a few months."

For Birth Control "I got a severe leg blood clot (DVT) and lung blood clots (PE) from this birth control. I have been on it for a couple of months, and it has been confirmed by hematologists that I received my blood clots from this birth control. I would hate for anyone else to have to go through the pain and suffering I have from taking this pill. DO NOT TAKE."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I used to take Sprintec, but the pharmacy isn't carrying it now, I believe. I started taking this generic, which is supposed to be the same, and the first month was okay, my period was shorter than normal. We get to month 2, and my period starts up on week 2 of the pack. I am now on month 3, and my period started up again midway through week 1, I haven’t stopped bleeding. So for the whole entire month of January, I have had to stock up on supplies because my period hasn't stopped at all. I want to sleep all the time, I already have issues with my depression and anxiety, and I’ve noticed since starting the birth control I am a little bit more on edge. Would not recommend anybody take this pill."

For Birth Control "I started this pill exactly 1 month ago, and I absolutely love it. I've been on birth control twice before, and Estarylla is definitely my favorite one. The only side effect I’ve had is being emotional towards my boyfriend and friends, nothing extreme. I haven’t noticed any weight gain or loss. I see everyone is having different reactions to this pill, but it totally works for me!"

For Birth Control "Okay, I was really nervous to take Estarylla because of all the bad reviews, and I normally take Trinessa. Anyway, after I ran out of Trinessa, I decided to put on my big girl jeans and try out Estarylla. If the pill was going to be bad for me, I was going to stop taking it and request another birth control. When I took the first pill, I had a slight headache, but I still went to all my classes. By my third pill, I think I had a little depression, but I couldn't tell if it was the pill or just my college classes being tough on me. Regardless, I still got my work and extracurricular activities done. Currently, I'm on Week 3, and I'm still alive!!! No headache, stomach pains, depression. I'm good. I think you, reader, need to be reminded that our body reacts differently to certain medications. Also, my acne isn't bad either, my face is actually clearing up. Just know every little pill is different. Good luck!"

For Birth Control "For the love of God, do not take this medicine. MOOD SWINGS ARE NONSTOP. My poor boyfriend tried to tell me they started since I got on this pill. I didn't believe him until I read reviews and realized everyone who takes this has the same problem. I started this on the first Sunday, which just happened to be the first day of my period. I've been on my period every week since I started taking this, and I took the first sugar pill 3 days ago, and now the bleeding is severe. My acne is awful, and my boobs doubled in size from swelling. They don't even want to stay inside my bra. Do not take this. Please."

For Ovarian Cysts "Dangerous. Especially if you are prone to anxiety or depression. My pharmacy switched me to this twice after Mononessa was no longer available. Once last year and again in the last month. I’ve spotted every day on this pill, with abnormal depression and anxiety. Definitely will never take again, and definitely do not recommend!!"

For Birth Control "This medication does prevent pregnancy for me. It cleared my acne and made my periods lighter. However, it gave me mood swings, extremely sore nipples, high irritability, loss of sex drive, and decreased my appetite. I've been miserable. I don't get cramps during my period, but now during ovulation, I get slight cramps. Every month I swear I'm pregnant because of the side effects, but I get my period. I'm almost done with month 4, and I'm thinking of stopping."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Stay away from this pill. I NEVER have side effects from any birth control I've taken in the past. I was switched to Estarylla and took it for maybe 2-3 months, and I have been bleeding for a week and a half now, who knows how long it'll last."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "The pharmacy said my old BC was no longer covered and gave me this, saying the ingredients were the same when I asked. Obviously, there's varying degrees. I bled for over two weeks. The last week, I questioned whether I had a ruptured cyst or miscarriage. The cramps were so horrendous I threw up. HORRIBLE!!!!"

For Birth Control "Absolutely the worst BC I’ve been on in my 13+ years. I will refuse to accept this when I go in for a refill. This has given me horrible cramps, headache, breast pain and tenderness, mood swings, nausea, and has killed my sex drive. Definitely no way to get pregnant on this if you never want to do anything, so I guess it works in that aspect. STAY AWAY. I wish I would have known before leaving the pharmacy. I can’t wait for this to be over!"

For Birth Control "I started this birth control about a month ago after switching from the generic brand of Yaz (Loryna, I believe), and I am about to finish my last pack. Before taking it, I was a bit hesitant because of the many bad reviews about it. But, after a month of taking it, I am happy to say I haven’t experienced barely any negative side effects. I haven’t felt depressed or anxious, I don’t believe I’ve gained weight (although I don’t have a scale to measure myself), and I haven’t had any headaches, stomach pain, etc. I have noticed a few pimples, but I also have been slacking on my skincare routine lately. All in all, I would suggest giving this birth control a try, and don’t let the bad reviews scare you. Yes, everyone’s body is different, but you don’t know how it will affect you until you try it for yourself."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "This birth control works great for a contraceptive, though I was on it for my periods. The side effects are why I changed to a different pill. In the beginning, I had a lot of breakthrough bleeding, but once it got into my system, it got better. I cried continuously for the first two weeks of every month, which made me and everyone else around me angry. That's why I switched to a lower dose."

For Birth Control "I’ve been taking Estarylla for about 4 months now. Before this, I was taking Sprintec, and it seemed to be working just fine for me. The pharmacy changed the prescription, saying that it was the same birth control with no different side effects. Wrong!!! I am a little bit of an emotional and sensitive person as it is, but this birth control has turned me into the worst emotional wreck that I have ever been!!! I am constantly nauseous with relief very rarely. Headaches come and go, but it’s mostly the nausea, anxiety, and depression. I definitely would not recommend this birth control to any girl who wants to keep their happy spirit alive and kicking. It’s terrible."
