Effectiveness

How Emoquette Affects PatientsEthinylestradiol is a type of synthetic hormone used to prevent ovulation. It is taken once per day and is considered to be a safe drug, although patients should be aware of the risks associated with blood clots.
How Emoquette works in the bodyEthinylestradiol is a synthetic form of estrogen. It is commonly used in combined oral contraceptives to stop ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to block sperm, and stop changes in the endometrium that are required for pregnancy. Ethinylestradiol also decreases luteinizing hormone and increases sex hormone binding globulin. All of these effects work together to prevent pregnancy.

Emoquette for Birth Control
This pill is definitely one you would need if you were going to have sex without condoms. It's worked well for me in the past, and I'm always grateful to have it on hand just in case.

Emoquette for Birth Control
I switched to this because I was experiencing hair loss. My tests came back normal, but my doctor and I decided to try a pill with a lower androgen index. So far, I've been really pleased! My breasts don't hurt like they did on the last pill, and I've noticed less hair shedding.

Emoquette for Acne
After trying out a few different options, I finally landed on this pill when my previous birth control was recalled. Gildess Fe 1/20 had been working well for my acne, weight, and moods--and while this new pill also helped to clear up my hormonal acne after a few months, I'm still left with frequent breakouts. In addition, I've noticed some serious changes in my mood which have included decreased sex drive, anxiety, and depression. Here's hoping that it's just a phase!

Emoquette for Birth Control
Unfortunately, this birth control didn't work well for me. I felt like it changed my mood and so I only took it for three months before switching to something else.

Emoquette for Acne
I've been using this birth control for acne and it's really not working well for me. I'm only 20, but I've already started experiencing abdominal pain, cystic bumps, hot flashes, and an increase in bra size. I'll be done with this pack soon and switching to a different brand that I used when I was 17.
