I’ve been on this pill for a month so far (I know it takes 2-3 months to fully adjust) and my mood swings have never been worse. I’ve never felt so unlike myself in my life. I also used to have perfectly clear skin and all of a sudden I’ve noticed quite a bit of acne. I’ve been on other pills before but this is my first time taking one with little to no estrogen. It’s not my cup of tea but everyone’s bodies are different and this is just my experience. Still going to give it more time however. Been on better pills!Read More Read Less

I have suffered horrifically from debilitating periods for years. As I get closer to 50, every month was getting worse. It was so bad that I felt like I didn't know how I was going to continue living with this. Then my pharmacist prescribed Jencycla, and it stopped my period. I am so very grateful I honestly tear up thinking about it. No more massive blood loss, prescription pain medicine that wasn't working very well and causing stomach problems, etc etc. This medication has given me my life back. Read More Read Less

This is the worst birth control I have ever taken. I feel very dizzy at random times. I am cramping pretty much constantly but these cramps feel weird, it's like they burn or something. I am heavy spotting either brown or dark red every day. These also make me have random bursts of extreme nausea. I am going to stop taking these because it's just not worth it.

Horrible stomach ache, nauseas and headaches. I am continuously brown discharging and the pain increased in time (before I had 2 days of pain, now I have 8 days!). Everything in less than a month.
I started taking these pills in order to help me to reduce my period pain, but it got worse...

I have been on this birth control for a little over 5 years now. I was put on this because I have migraines and can't use estrogen. My periods are irregular and heavier than before, and never on time. I religiously take the pill on time and still got pregnant and lost it at 13 weeks. My moods are up and down and I have a continuous lower abdominal pain just to name a few. Trying to talk my OB/GYN into changing it to something else.

I cant take estrogen based bith control cause major anxiety attacks so my doctor told me I need to take this instead. So far I have been on it for about 5 months it has not been pleasant. an increase in depressive behaviours and horrible cramps so bad that when they happen I dont want to move. Not only have I had these horrible symptoms I have also had spotting constantly throughout my cycles which my doctors said is normal but is extremely frustrating. It's great overall though no pregnancy at all.Read More Read Less

Jencycla is the first form of birth control I've ever used and it will definitely continue to be! I am unable to take birth control containing estrogen due to ocular migraines. I've been using this for around 5 months now successfully, with no notable change in mood or my skin. My period still comes once a month however it is little lighter and I get less cramps/PMS. No complaints!!!

There are a lot of horror stories online about this pill but everyone's body reacts differently. I decided to go with this pill because I experience migraines with aura. I've struggled with acne all my life but so far I've only noticed mood swings and none of the crazy acne or weight gain side effects that some others have. Also no babies. So far it's alright.

this product has been very effective with preventing pregnancy, especially since i donâ??t usually take it exactly on time because i underestimated how busy i am at night. Anyways, the side affects have been pretty bad, i cry a lot now and have been gaining weight which is taking a toll on my overall self esteem, if you have a history of bad headaches, prepare to have even worse ones. i totally recommend this though.
