    It's an oral pill so it can be hard to remember to take it sometimes, but I set a silent alarm on my phone that goes off each night to remind me. Overall, my experience has been a good one. I have less painful and predictable periods and my skin is clearer than before. This is my 4th method of BC and is definitely the best so far.

    I do not have a prescription for this awful BC, but my pharmacy keeps on giving it to me. I hate it. Hitting the fourth month now and I have bled every single day and I am going through tampons like crazy. I lost my appetite completely and don't even eat anymore. I lost 15 pounds and I'm down to 105. I'm always nauseous and I'm pretty sure since I'm bleeding every single day, w ... Show Full Comment

    I have been on over 10 different birth control pills; and with the exception of Yasmin it has the least side effects. No weight gain, breakouts, mood swings or fatigue. It sometimes gives me an upset stomach but I take it before I go to sleep to alleviate this. All and all i give it an A +. I was on Orthocept 2 months ago and I was a raving lunatic and getting breakouts like a teenager; I'm 37 ... Show Full Comment

    Using Emoquette for birth control has really worked for me. The first time I let my boyfriend ejaculate inside of me without a spermicide condom was a bit scary, but after having a negative result with a urine pregnancy test and having my period on the week of the inactive pills made me feel more confident about trusting the pills. Sometimes I forget to take the pill and end up taking it 3 hours a ... Show Full Comment

    When I started this medication, I had spotting, but nothing abnormal. I also was fatigued often, but my doctor said it was most likely because of the blood loss from spotting. After I started taking iron supplements I felt much better. I've had minimal other side effects. Overall, it's been easy to remember to take.
