"I've been on Aubra EQ for over 2 years now. Most of my experience with it have been positive. Major pros are my periods aren't as heavy, I no longer have severe cramping, and my acne cleared up completely. Some cons are my libido is almost nonexistent and I've gained weight, but luckily those don't matter to me."

"I’ve been taking Aubra EQ for 3 months now as my first bc pill. I sought it out as both birth control and to help with my awful periods and it’s definitely done it’s job with both. Periods are SO much better much lighter and little if any cramping or other issues. I’ve experienced some migraines since starting Aubra but I've also always had issues with headaches and migraines so it may just be bad timing or exacerbating my underlying issues. I have been extra emotional, that’s been very noticeable. Personally my sex drive has remained the same which is why I know the birth control has been working lol but I think it has impacted self lubrication, which is fine just not ideal. Overall things have gone well so far. For me the positives have far outweighed the negative side effects."

"I am on week 2. I think it is important to note that birth control affects every body differently. But with this pill I have noticed extreme bloating, nausea, and an increase of appetite. I am going on vacation in a few days with a new boyfriend so I am a little bummed about the bloating side affect but oh well! It all comes with being on a birth control unfortunately. It could be worse. I have experienced some birth controls that gave me extreme emotional mood swings that made me literally feel like I was going crazy. So this one really isn't as bad as some others out there!"

"I was on Aubra EQ for 3 almost 4 years, and aside from some mood swings here and there I never had a problem with it. I did gain a bit of weight but I wasn't upset with it. I was sexually active throughout the entirety that I was on it and never had a pregnancy scare. I absolutely loved this birth control, unfortunately for my cysts being a little more complicated, I am now switching, but I wanted to write the review since this was my first birth control. It was a good one like I said I loved it, and never had any issues, if it wasn't for my cysts I would stay on this for longer if possible. Don't let reviews scare you everyone's body is different. My acne improved but didn't clear up, like I said a little bit of weight gain, but when getting on this, those weren't issues or targets my main concern was managing my cysts and protecting myself since I am sexually active and it did just that!"

"When I was first prescribed Aubra EQ by Planned Parenthood, I was super scared after reading reviews. I’m a highly irritable and emotional person, but I actually felt more level-headed after starting Aubra. I do cry easier than normal, but no mood swings. I have experienced a few light headaches, but nothing unbearable. I usually have very painful periods to the point where I throw up, but now I get very light cramping the day I take my sugar pill. It significantly reduces the pain, which is the best part of the pill. Around the middle of month 2, I noticed some breakthrough bleeding that lasts a couple of days. Another thing I was scared about was acne and weight gain. I noticed that I actually don’t have any cravings or appetite unless I’m around my period. I only had a breakout the first week I started my pill but it cleared up within a week. If you are like me who was scared to start birth control, I would recommend just trying it out. Everybody is different; just do what is best for you."
