My birth control was switched from emoquette to enskyce three months ago and I am very pleased with the medication overall. It does the job and I have had no strange side effects.

WOW I hate this birth control. Let me tell you all the ways. For context: 32F, active, normal health. My activity did drop from 5-6 gym sessions pre-pandemic to 4 gym sessions post-vaccines & COVID surges (at the time). I've been on this bc consistently for 4 months. Trying to paint a fair picture. -First 2 months had me breaking out all over my face, neck, back, & shoulders. This leveled out afte...

I’ve been taking this medication for three years. I’ve never had any problems. It’s nice to know when to expect my period. My periods are also lighter and shorter.

Does the job. Made my periods light and short. But It has lowered my sex drive tremendously though.

The pill works, but I am always very nauseous the first one or two days of each pack. It is unbearable. I am going to the doctor soon to talk about switching.

I have only been taking Enskyce for a week and I am nauseous 24/7 and throwing up almost every night. (I take the pill at noon).

I'm 6 months into the medicine and I can say that my periods are lighter and my acne is going away. However, I still get very painful cramps, I've become more emotional and the worst side effect has been the nausea. I'm extremely nauseas at the start of each pill pack which is very misleading because that is also a symptom for pregnancy which is what I'm trying to prevent. I'm going to contact my doctor soon about switching because I can't take feeling this nauseas each month anymore.

This treatment has been amazing. I used to be in such pain from my periods that I would pass out, and Enskyce has really impacted my overall lifestyle during my period, along with not fainting.

My doctor prescribed this to me to help with my periods since they were so painful and heavy and also as a birth control. Overall it made my periods so much lighter and pretty much taken away cramps minus a few random ones. When I first got on it it did make my period a day longer but them second one was shorter. I have found out however it makes my anger a little more easy to trigger than normal when I am on my period but that was pretty much normal before since PMS is a huge deal with me. But overall I'm pretty happy with this.Read More Read Less

I am going on my fourth month and my acne is getting out of control...After years of clear skin and no dermatologist visits, I am going back to my dermatologist because my face has been wrecked by horrible acne. I am 99% it is because of this birth control. Everyone is different, but from my experience, this has given me horrible acne. I am going to switch birth control according to what my dermatologist recommends.

I'm used to semi-regularly rotating BCP because my body tends to "get used" to the pills and my heavy periods power through and flow for days on end. With that being said, this pill has limited the length of periods, but not the flow. Additionally I act like a psycho - crying almost everyday, angry all the time, completely irrational and erratic behavior! My boobs have grown an entire cup size and are constantly tender. Never have experienced these side effects to this extent before. Hoping to be off this pill as per doctors orders within a week! Read More Read Less

On the Enskyce it made me feel weird on the first week and then when I started the first blue or whatever color pill it made me feel like I was being demon possed and it made me wanna hurt people, I was never like that and I would not recommend this product.

Do not take this medication. It has adverse side effects depending on the person, but is definitely not worth the risk. NOT A GOOD MEDICATION.

I began taking Loestrin 24 for 2 years and had every side effect possible/pregnancy side effects.. Weight gain, depression, constant nausea, enlarged breasts. I tried switching to a different one for a year but my symptoms never got better. I gave up on birth control for a few years and worked hard to get the weight off and after getting into a serious relationship realized I needed to be taking birth control. I was prescribed Enskyce about 2 years ago after explaining my reservations on birth control to my new doctor. I have not had one problem I ever had before. I never gained a pound, no bodily changes whatsoever. Not one thing about me physically or mentally made a change. I will be taking Enskyce until I decide to have a child and don't know what I would do without it.Read More Read Less

I've been using this birth control for about 6 or 7 years now. Never had any problems and don't plan on changing it anytime soon.

This medication made me angry and difficult to be around. I felt demon possessed after the 1st week of being on it. I stopped taking this after the 1st month when I realized I was looking for someone to physically hurt. I am not an angry mean person.

I use to sweat, have extreme cramps, feel light headed, nausea and many more the first day I started my period. So I started taking Enskyce. My periods aren't painful at all now. Best decision. I haven't experienced any weight gain. I also use to get a pimple or two before or after my period now I don't get any. My only advice is don't take this on an empty stomach. Once I did, I threw up.

I was prescribed this to regulate my period for a month, because it has gone off track. I've pretty much had every symptom of pregnancy while taking it. The dizziness and lightheadedness, nausea, weight gain, mood swings have become too much for me and I'm cutting it short by a day. I've had enough. I'll stick with the irregular cycle.

I'm taking Enskyce for an upcoming IVF process and I'm sure it will work its purpose of suppressing an overstimulation of eggs. I just don't like how tender it has made by breast feel. I've never experienced that with other birth control pills. I'm glad to be done with this med.
