Comment:
I'm on my 9th pack/month of Emoquette. This is my first pill and first form of BC. I still use condoms with my boyfriend because I really don't want a baby, but my withdrawal bleed comes like clockwork on my 5th iron pill. Nothing too crazy, nothing heavier than I had before BC.

Emoquette and Desogen are not the same! I do not recommend this pill.

This birthcontrol was not for me. I believe it changed my mood. I took it for three months before changing. I am still trying to find a birthcontrol right for me.

I switched from Aviane to emoquette in order to better control my moods, and it has done the complete opposite. I have felt extremely nauseous and have even thrown up multiple times. By breasts are extremely tender and I have gone up a full cup size in bras. My mood swings are only getting worse and it has made me feel very depressed and anxious. I will be switching off of this medicine immediatel
