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.

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.
