For Birth Control "I’m on my 4th month of taking this pill, and honestly, it’s working better for me than any pill has yet! I know it’s still pretty early on to tell, but I am currently at a happy state with it. I was getting super freaked out about trying it after reading all the comments on here. For the first two weeks, I had light spotting, minimal cramping, and mentally felt super positive. Since then, I have experienced some light mood swings and nausea, but nothing compared to what I was dealing with before. My skin has cleared up a lot as well, which has really improved my day-to-day emotions. The worst and only downside is that my boobs are so tender and sore 50% of the time, but it’s worth the trade-off. I’m planning to write another review in a couple more months, though, so I’ll keep you all posted!"

For Birth Control "I have been on Aubra EQ pill for about a month now, and I’ve experienced breast soreness (for about 5 days), spotting for 5 days straight, which I have read in other reviews is normal, and feeling extremely bloated to the point I don’t want to eat when I’m hungry. Lastly, my period has come late, which I was most worried about considering my other symptoms, but I’ve also read in at least 3 other reviews that a missed period was common in the first months taking Aubra EQ. The spotting was a lot more than I expected and other people have had breakthrough bleeding, so if the spotting and bloating continue all day until next month, I will stop taking it. The missed period makes it kind of stressful because I read doctor's advice to stop taking it as soon as you think you’re pregnant."

For Birth Control "I've just barely started using Aubra EQ. I'm 19, and this is my first time on birth control, so I didn't really know what to expect. The only con that I have right now is bloating, and I'm still spotting and bleeding even though my period is over. I guess that is normal for every birth control, but I don't really know. And for anyone who is curious about where to find Aubra, I was prescribed Aubra EQ by the Planned Parenthood (PP Direct) app. I paid out of pocket ($25/mo. for 3 months), and they shipped it right to my house."

For Birth Control "I had the implant for a year, and I had the worst headaches, but I never gained weight. Then I switched to the Depo injection and gained so much weight over 3 months. I’ve been on this pill now for 2 months, and only the first two weeks were rough, but so far no baby, no weight gain, and only light spotting. I recommend this birth control."

For Birth Control "I went from Skyla to Aubra EQ. I've been on this pill for about 5 days, and I started bleeding on the second day: light to medium spotting and like a period. I take it at night but wake up super hungry and nauseous. Also, feel very emotional. It is crazy how fast this pill has changed my body. I'm going to give it 3 months, and if it gets worse, I will find something new."

For Birth Control "I'm just about 6 months on Aubra EQ, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I went to Planned Parenthood because of my irregular and painful periods and was recommended this. I was told I could skip the grey pill to basically nix my period for the duration of my taking this medication. I was told to expect spotting around my usual period time for the next couple of months until my body gets used to the hormones. Fast forward 4 months into the process, and I'm still bleeding. The pain is still there, the only difference is in the duration of the cycle and flow volume. These last two months I've been period-free, however, I started again three days ago. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I've tried to get in contact with PP with no success."
