Comparing Estarylla

For Birth Control My pharmacy replaced Sprintec (the best birth control) with estarylla because they said it was the same formula. I have been on it for about 10 months now and I gained 10 pounds. After reading reviews, I realized it has made me moodier and made my anxiety worse. But hey I never got pregnant... If you have any sort of anxiety/depression, this is not the pill for you. I just got prescribed a lower dose of birth control called Lo Loestrin Fe, so we will see how that goes

For Birth Control My obgyn switched me to this due to midcycle spotting on trinessa lo and it was also determined that triphasic pills give me frequent headache and migraine attacks. I have less to no headaches with consistent doses. So far, not liking this pill at all. Except the almost no headaches part. I have been on it 3 weeks and have had constant stomach aches with bloating and indigestion. Ugh. I have been getting stomach bloat and diarrhea every 2-3 days. Sorry for the TMI. Most days I have to push myself to eat. And also, this pill has a very bitter taste. I had some mid cycle cramping as well. I am due this month for my yearly. I will let my obgyn know and see if he will switch me back to safyral or try a 30 mcg dose of levonorgestrel. 20 mcg got to where it wasn't enough and this 35 mcg might be too strong. Not sure how my periods will be on this, but using bc pills to regulate and lighten my period. But if this pill is hard on my stomach, chances are I need a different one.
