"I was taking this pill on and off for irregular periods between the ages of 15-17 (I am 19 now and recently discovered I have PCOS). While it regulated my periods, man, the side effects were awful! I was depressed to the point of feeling like I was in a dark, dark hole, my anger was out of control, and I gained 40 pounds. There are much more effective pills with fewer side effects out there - glad I switched!"

"Stay away from Tri-Estarylla. This medication has made me feel awful! I was unwillingly switched from Tri-Previfem to Tri-Estarylla. It’s only been a week and a half, and the side effects are horrendous. Up all night with bad cramps, back pain, dehydration, headaches, nausea, you name it. Stay away from this mess. Would not recommend this to anyone."

"I was on this pill for three years! The first two were great! It has completely helped my heavy ten-day period turn into only three days. It was great for my acne as well! I loved it for the longest time until about a year ago, it stopped working as well. I would have my period two weeks early, and it would be super heavy and last ten days again. My acne would be so bad that I would be embarrassed to go out. I never was depressed before, but this past year I found myself being way more emotional than normal. This week I decided to take a chance and switch medicines, so I am now onto a new journey."

"I’ve always had heavy cycles. I was on Tri-Sprintec (think that’s how it’s spelled) in 2015. That shortened my period and cleared my skin. Sex drive was eh, okay, I guess anyway. I got on birth control after having my son and was on Depo but bled the entire year, yes, year. So I tried the pill. It’s been 3 months and my cycle is just like it was before I got pregnant, heavy and painful and 7-9 days, with spotting in between. (S/O to Always Discreet for handling the first 5 days' flow.) I’ll update in 3 more months to see if that changes, but so far, nothing special. Not pregnant though."

"Just awful! Was switched to this because the pharmacy didn't want to special order my regular BC, Tri-Previfem. Never ever had an issue with Tri-Previfem. This has made me bleed more than I ever did without birth control! Plus, I have fibromyalgia, and this sent me in a tailspin of awful pain and flare-ups. So, do not take if you already have inflammation issues. Also aggravated my lymphedema really bad. I don't care what the package says, it's not the same dosage or formulation. I've taken birth control all my life, and NEVER did I have issues until this came along. Stay away from it!"

"So, my Dr. switched me to this from Ortho Lo (which I never had an issue with besides some minor sadness) as a couple of months ago I bled for a month straight. She told me to try this BC because it’s the same dosage every day. I have never been so riddled with anxiety and depression. I’m having emotional outbursts, and I cannot fully rationalize why. I am a generally sensitive person, but this is on another level. I’m going back to Ortho Lo or something else because honestly, this put me in such a dark place."
