Comparing Estarylla vs Kyleena

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.

For Birth Control I am 24 and I decided to get the Kyleena inserted in September 2018 right after having an abortion under general anesthesia. After reading many reviews, I was terrified of the side effects but decided to try it out, especially since I wouldn't have to go through the pain of insertion. I experienced light spotting and cramping for two weeks and then resumed my regular monthly period shortly after with minimal cramping during the time of the month. No other side effects in terms of weight gain, mood changes, skin changes (surprisingly, as this is my first form of birth control). So far I am happy with my Kyleena and glad to have a peace of mind. Just remember everyone's experience will be different and you just have to find what works for you. Good luck if you decide to try the kyleena!

For Birth Control Okay, so I’ve had the kyleena for over TWO years now. Insertion was painful but not unbearable. For the first 2 weeks I bleed about the amount of a normal period or less, I suffer from very irregular periods, and I have all of my life (I am now 21). Now since being on kyleena, my periods have completely vanished and I haven’t had a menstrual cycle in over a year now. Sometimes I get occasional cramping. I also gained 20 POUNDS in about two years but now I’m slowly starting to lose the weight. As well, I suffered with acne a lot of my life, after insertion my acne was a lot worse, but finally now it’s pretty much gone. I’ve never gotten pregnant, so it’s working. Also during the beginning my hormones effected my mood but it took about 8-12 months for that to even out. I also experienced mild depression and anxiety which may or may not have to due with my hormones. It’s been two years now and everything seems to be normalized for me, besides the minimal cramping. I hope this helps
