For Birth Control "My experience with this drug has actually been pretty good. I did have mild acne breakouts and some bloating and water weight gain. These all went away pretty quickly, though. The only major side effect I've had is significant bleeding between periods. However, I had fewer and lighter cramps and no ovarian pain like I dealt with before, and no depression/mood swings or any of the other side effects that other users have experienced."

For Birth Control "Literally, I got pregnant right away taking this pill, which was recommended by Pill Club (sadly). I was taking Sronyx before, which unfortunately gave me a lot of breakouts, and it made me very nauseous, so I decided to give this a try, and boom, I'm pregnant. This pill did help me clear my skin, but I noticed a lack of sex drive, and I noticed I seemed more bloated and gained weight a little in only a month! Definitely, I do not recommend this pill!!"

For Birth Control "I was originally on a Lupin brand under the name norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol. I got my prescription from Walgreens pharmacy, but they were not partnered with that manufacturer, so I was put on Tri-Estarylla. I had terrible anxiety and bloating all the time. I gained 10 lbs within those two months, and I just don’t feel like myself. I will stop this and try another brand. Birth control affects everyone differently, and you may find this brand might be good for you."

For Birth Control "Contrary to the negative reviews on this birth control, I actually had a pretty positive experience. I had great skin, my periods were very regulated and short, I had some weight gain (I am skinny and did want to gain weight, so if you don't want weight gain, I wouldn't suggest this). I think I only experienced mood swings during the first few months of taking this. I also experienced some migraines, but those only lasted 2-3 months as well. I was always bloated, but I'm not sure if that was due to the birth control or if it was just my diet. The only other thing I didn't like was that this gave me a very low sex drive. I usually had a higher sex drive the week of the sugar pills, so I assume this is because of the birth control."

For Birth Control "Just finished a pack and starting the second pack. Sadly, I will stop taking the second pack. Each pill made me so nauseous hours after I took it, and it gave me digestion issues. My stomach felt so funky, and I felt the food coming back up every night when I sleep. Also, super bloated every day due to the stomach problems. I think the estrogen (0.035 mg) is too high and messing with my stomach. I used to be on 0.02 mg of estrogen dosage, and I didn’t have any issues with it."

For Birth Control "I've been on this medication for about two weeks. Since starting, I've had very increased anxiety, a dull headache every day in my temples, and restless sleep, resulting in extreme fatigue. The medication has not had any impact on my very moderate acne. I have noticed some water retention and bloating as well. I'm going to finish the month out, but the side effects I've experienced so far are not at all worth continuing to take this. I am so tired on a daily basis that I can barely function due to the inability to sleep soundly, even when taking a sleep aid."

For Birth Control "Switched from the generic form of Junel 1/20 (was on it for 6 months). I've been on Tri-Estarylla for about 2 months now. So far, no significant side effects besides bloating and weight gain (that could be a new relationship though, lol). Junel 1/20 gave me intense side effects such as acne/rash, depression, mood swings, loss of sex drive, bloating 24/7, and breakthrough bleeding for 2 out of 4 weeks a month. With Tri-Estarylla, my period is heavier though and lasts 4 days mid-placebo pills with cramps starting the last week of active pills all the way through the end of the placebo week. Haven't seen much improvement in acne, but I haven't been on it for too long to see that. My sex drive has improved, and I haven't had any breakthrough bleeding or mood swings. My discharge is much heavier/thicker, but it's white and not dark brown like with my last birth control. No pregnancy scares, and this is the only form of birth control my partner and I use."

For Birth Control "Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo was discontinued, so I tried this Tri-Estarylla. I kept giving it a chance, thinking that my body needed to adjust. It got worse, terrible headaches that lasted all day and every day. Prior, my health, acne, and bleeding were all normal. Now, I was bleeding randomly, getting my period early and spotting, terrible cramps along with heavy bleeding every other month. So heavy that I thought I was miscarrying. I didn’t realize why I was lacking motivation initially. I was bloated not only during my period but throughout the entire month. The last straw was the huge, painful pimples all over my face, near my chin, jawline, cheeks, hairline, and small whiteheads on my back and chest that left scars. This was it, I couldn’t even stand to look in the mirror anymore without disgust. This shouldn’t be on the market. Truly, the headaches alone kept me from living and enjoying my life. Get off this, don’t try. If you’re having similar symptoms, they probably won’t go away."

For Birth Control "These Tri-Estarylla are terrible birth control pills. I had to switch to these because my insurance changed and covered them and not my old ones. Within a year, I gained 15 pounds, I look bloated and not like myself. I haven’t changed my diet or lifestyle in any way. I’ve also been suffering crippling anxiety. Just got off them 2 weeks ago and feel so much better. Beware of this one!!!! I regret ever getting on them without prior research."
