For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I've been on this birth control for 4 days, and that is all I'm giving it. My headaches have been so intense I just cry. I sleep so much more, and I'm always hungry. And even better, I started bleeding as soon as I popped the first pill in my mouth, and I'm talking about heavy bleeding, clots! Soaking through pads and tampons within an hour or less. Please, ladies, stay away from this."

For Birth Control "I'm at the Dr. now to refill this birth control medication, and I couldn't remember the name, so I called my pharmacy and then Googled it since I was waiting. I can't believe the bad reviews, but everyone's body is different. I've been on this BC for 2 years now, starting my third. I used to break out, and I haven't had one pimple since starting this medication. I haven't gained any weight or experienced any type of emotional side effects. I love it and will continue using it."

For Birth Control "I already struggle with depression/anxiety, but this birth control made it SO much worse. I couldn’t figure out for the longest time what was wrong with me, so, so angry and everyone, but yet so sad. I have been feeling like I’m going crazy. So done with this medicine. Never again!!"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I really don't like this pill. I feel sick all the time. Headaches, blurred vision, motion sickness, hot flashes, and depression. My vagina is always dry and itchy. I am so sick to the point of leaving work and lying in bed all day. The weight gain is horrible. I was on it for period control."

For Birth Control "I have been on Estarylla for about a year and a few months now and I'm about to stop taking it now because it's simply too much for my mental health. The pill works wonderfully at preventing pregnancy and it cleared my acne, my breasts grew, and I did not gain weight. However, during my cycle on the pill, I get so anxious and depressed. It feels as if I have no energy or sex drive. Things that usually make me happy, I feel numb to. But, when I'm on placebo week - wow, I feel amazing. I feel free. Obviously, everyone is different but personally, I feel horrible (mentally) while I'm on it."

For Birth Control "Definitely a horrible birth control. Started it 2 months ago, and I have put on weight, irregular spotting in between periods. Most of all, my mood swings have been so bad. Makes me feel bipolar. I cry over everything and get so mad. Even feel depressed. Was on Tri-Previfem for years and didn’t have any side effects. Switching back next week. Pharmacists claim they’re all the same ingredients included, but I disagree."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on this pill for about a year now. I stopped taking it for a while and noticed that my mood had lifted and I was overall a happier person. I do think that all birth control pills can make you feel sad and depressed, but I think that Estarylla really amplified those feelings. I didn’t find it to clear up my acne, and I did gain weight. I would say this pill is average, but I’m hoping to find something better."

For Birth Control "This medicine is the devil! If you want to feel paranoid, confused, like the worst bitch, anxious, and destroy every relationship that's dear to you-> take this stuff! I guarantee at least you won't get pregnant! I smashed up and flushed all my pills today because I can't take this rubbish anymore!"

For Ovarian Cysts "I was on Mononessa originally for about 2 years because I have ovarian cysts and endo. I was switched to Estarylla in January, and I've been taking it every day, as directed, since. I've had some really odd side effects that I had no idea were side effects until I read some of these reviews. My boobs are constantly tender and achy, I've been losing hair like you couldn't imagine, and recently I've been having some other (worse) issues that I haven't seen a lot of women talk about, so maybe it isn't the BC, but I've never had these issues before. My vagina is CONSTANTLY itchy and dry, and there is always a crazy amount of thick white discharge. Originally I thought it could've been a yeast infection or even PID, but literally, nothing has worked, and it's been about two months. Also, sex is extremely painful. Let me add that my skin is the best it's ever been since starting this brand. Nice skin does not make up for all of the other bad things that are happening because of this pill though."

For Acne "So, I started Estarylla in May 2020. Previously, I had switched my insurance and did not get a new script to continue what I was taking, which was Blisovi Fe. So, I had a lapse of birth control from Jan to May. I wanted to try something that would help my cystic acne. I started this and I'm a wreck. I'm breaking out worse than I did in high school, and I'm 26. That's not even the worst of my symptoms. I'm miserably nauseous and having diarrhea most mornings waking up for work. Don't have much of an appetite. My boobs have just recently started hurting and becoming more sensitive. I'm losing a significant amount of hair. I know spotting can occur, but I just finished a random 2-week period and NOW I'm getting to that spotting they talk about. Everyone's joking that I'm pregnant. I took my first pregnancy test and no, I'm not prggo. I'm irrationally emotional more than normal and just feel MISERABLE. I'm taking myself off this tomorrow."

"I’ve seen the negative reviews on here, and I have only been on this pill for a short amount of time, but my experience has been almost 100% positive. As someone who has struggled with gaining weight and with anxiety for a very long time, I was worried about starting birth control. However, since starting, I have been able to gain and keep on 3 pounds so far, and my anxiety has been at an all-time low. The only thing I can say is that for about an hour or so after taking it each day, I will get slightly nauseous, but if I eat before, usually I am fine. This pill has been an absolute lifesaver for me. Every person reacts differently to medication, so I cannot speak for others, but I personally would recommend this pill."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Could not say enough bad things about this medicine!!! Abnormal bleeding, oily skin, mood swings, headaches, weight gain, racing heart, shortness of breath, cramping, night sweats, and nausea just from taking this pill for less than a month. Do not understand why anyone is even getting prescribed this pill, especially after reading all the reviews I’ve read on it. Absolutely ridiculous!!"

For Birth Control "I started taking Estarylla about a month ago, and I had been taking birth control for almost 6 months now, but my brand got changed. I was taking Femynor with no problems at all, but about a month ago, I experienced very bad bloating, stomach pains, constipation, nausea, and loss of appetite. When my period came, the symptoms didn’t change. Now, on my second month, the symptoms are starting to ease. I’m still taking it. I read about the side effects on the box, and nothing I’m experiencing is on the box, but reading all these reviews, I should talk to my doctor about changing my brand."

For Ovarian Cysts "I was diagnosed with PCOS and was told that my uterine wall was thickening. My periods became abnormal, so my uterus was not shedding its wall the way it's supposed to every month. My doctor put me on Estarylla to clear the cysts. Six months later, my follow-up showed no more cysts and the uterine wall was normal. She suggested staying on the pill for three more months, but I decided to stay on it longer for the birth control effect. This pill worked effectively in ridding my cysts. The side effects weren't too bad: loss of weight, but I always lose weight with birth control pills, little to no sex drive, maybe a little moody, but I can't really say because, at the time, my family was going through changes-everyone was stressed and moody, even my five-year-old. Overall, it did its job, which was to reduce or clear my cysts and thin out my uterine wall. Side effects? Not too bad. I've had worse with other BC pills. This is only my personal experience. Everyone's body reacts differently."

For Acne "I am about three weeks into my first pack of Estarylla BC, and my acne is worse than ever before. I was on Trinessa for five years and still had some annoying hormonal acne, and I was beginning to spot in between periods, so my gyno switched me to Estarylla. What I like about Estarylla is that I haven’t had any nausea from the pill like I have had with Trinessa in the past. I’ve read other reviews saying to just stick with Estarylla for a couple of months since the skin should clear up as the body adjusts. I sure hope that is right. I’m 22, and I’m at my wit's end with this acne!!!"

For Birth Control "I had a negative experience with this pill. I took it for a year, and while it effectively served the purpose of preventing pregnancy, that's the only positive thing I have to say about it. I experienced side effects of depression and suicidal thoughts, anxiety and a panic attack, frequent breakthrough bleeding, breast tenderness, and weight gain of 10 pounds. I am not prone to weight gain and haven't had this issue or emotional issues with the other 2 birth control pills I've taken. I would advise extreme caution in proceeding with taking this pill. I should have read the reviews before I took it."

For Birth Control "I was prescribed Estarylla, and it was my first experience with birth control! The first two months were fine. I had a short and lighter period the first month, BUT experienced insane emotional distress. I was yelling at my boyfriend, crying over just about anything (I even cried giving a class presentation and I’m not emotional like that AT ALL). I assumed it was just my body adjusting as those extreme mood swings subsided. At the end of the second month, I got my period early and decided to finish the pack. I’ve now been bleeding for almost 2 weeks, and it is giving me extreme anxiety. I’m constantly paranoid I’m going to get blood clots and that this bleeding is irregular. It goes between what I believe to be spotting to full on needing a tampon. After reading these reviews, I have now decided to stop taking this birth control. I gave it two points because I do believe it contributed to clearing up my skin. Please beware!"

For Birth Control "I started this birth control, Estarylla, after I got my IUD out. I hated the IUD, so after 2 years, I got it removed. I wanted a birth control that helped with acne because I have PCOS, and with that comes stupid hormonal acne. :( I am on month 3 of Estarylla, and I think I’m starting to hate it. The first 2 months were good, it actually helped my acne. Now, on my 2nd week of the pack, my chin broke out so bad! My boobs are sore, and I’m super depressed. I don’t take any other meds, so I know it has to be this birth control. I also get nauseous. Honestly, I think the side effects outweigh the benefits! Everyone’s different, but for myself, I do not recommend this med."

For Birth Control "These reviews definitely gave me mixed feelings, but I'm already one week in. The only side effects I've had so far is during my 2nd-4th day I was EXTREMELY nauseous, especially a few hours after I took the medication, but that resolved itself within a week and I'm having no current side effects. I'm taking it for hormone regulation to ease PMS symptoms because they worsen my psych issues (mainly BPD symptoms and ASD overstimulation) LIKE CRAZY. I also wanted a more regular period, so I'll leave another review within the next few months. Also from what I've read, it seems like a lot of people who had a bad experience was given it as a replacement for another birth control pill. This is the first one I've ever taken. I'd say give it a try because it might work out for you."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I was put on this Estarylla birth control pill after a long 2-month period and ovarian cyst. It stopped my period almost immediately! I’ve been on Estarylla for three months now, and the worst side effect I’ve experienced is weight gain. My period is also more heavy and painful than usual, but honestly, I will take that over two months of non-stop bleeding."

For Acne "The only good thing about this drug is that it cleared up my acne around my cycle time. The bad thing is I cramp like my cycle's first day for two weeks. Period was a week late, and then stayed on for a week and a half, and I spot/bleed constantly. If the spotting seems to stop, and I go to have sex, here comes the period back on. And the spotting comes back. It messed up my body so bad. I don’t think the irregular bleeding is worth keeping a few pimples away. And not to mention that you will be nauseated and will have a queasy stomach all the time. It gets worse after you eat. Every single time."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I was a little excited to say the least but nervous since I haven’t been on any medications since my tubal ligation 6 years prior. Within the first few weeks, I was already bleeding. I bled for 9 weeks straight. It was miserable, and then if to make things worse, I wanted to take out everyone around me for about 5 weeks. I had extreme anger issues, depression, my skin was breaking out. I talked to my doctor many times and was told to give it a little time to see how I adjusted. After 6 months, I decided I couldn’t take it anymore. I would have times that were okay, but I often felt like rubbish on this pill. The last straw was when I started a new packet of pills. I was fine the first week, started bleeding mid-2nd week, and by the third week, I was passing large blood clots for days, and then I got my period the 4th week. This pill isn’t for me, and now I’m starting something new. Hoping for better results!!"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I was on this birth control for just one month. When I reached the final week of pills, my period was so heavy that I went through a super tampon almost every 2 hours. Around the third day of this, I experienced abdominal pain so awful that I couldn't sleep. I ended up going to the hospital because I was passing large clots and I couldn't stand up without feeling extremely dizzy. This was the first birth control I ever tried, and needless to say, it was not a pleasant experience."

For Birth Control "Wow, these reviews are scary. I’ve been taking this birth control for about 6-7 months, and it never affected me that bad. I will admit the first few months you feel a little dull, but that’s just because of new hormones in your body. Hair never fell out or anything, instead, it grew crazy long, at least 7 inches. It never affected me in a negative way or made me gain weight, it actually made me lose a few 3 pounds, and if anything, made me more mature. At the end of the day, birth control, no matter what brand, affects everybody in way different ways, but for me, this didn’t affect me terribly or anything, if anything, I was doing amazing on it."

For Birth Control "I've been on it for 3 years with 0 side effects. It's effective in that I've never become pregnant. I haven't experienced mood swings like everyone else posted about. I never get breakouts. The only reason I've gained 10 lbs in the last 3 years is from CrossFit, and it was muscle. I have absolutely no complaints with Estarylla."
