I've been on Enskyce 0.15mg-0.03mg Tablets for a few months now, and while it's been effective in preventing pregnancy, I've had some concerning side effects: I've noticed some yellowing of my skin and eyes which seems unusual. It's supposed to be one of these rare cases and I don't know what to do: seek medical help immediately or just wait until my next appointment. I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced similar issues and how they handled it. I've been reading up on the possible side effects and it seems like some of them can be really serious. I want to make sure I'm taking the right steps to maintain my health. So, I’m looking for some guidance from those who have been through this, or from professionals or people who know more about this topic. Anyone had similar experiences or have any advice for me?

I'm on my second pack of Enskyce and so far, so good. Just occasional headaches, but nothing I can't handle. Fingers crossed it stays this way!

Was it helpful to ask your doctor? I think I might do the same and ask my doctor about potential risks. I am particularly concerned about those possible blood clots: chest pain or pressure, coughing up blood, swelling in arm or leg, pain in one arm or leg, and shortness of breath. Do they have any tests for blood clots?

My doctor actually recommended Enskyce because I had bad migraines with other pills. So far, it's been great for me, but I've had some minor symptoms. I've been a bit anxious and nervous, but I think that's just part of the stress of life too. I feel like it's worth it for the symptom relief I get from migraines. I'm not sure if my experience would be the same for someone else.

I had some really bad mood swings and depression when I was on Enskyce. It was horrible. I had to switch to a different pill because I hated it. I don't feel like I have the same personality anymore. I was so irritable and angry, and it messed up all my relationships. This is where I had to stop the pill completely. I didn't want to mess up my life.

I switched from Enskyce to a mini-pill because I had some breast pain and sore breasts. It was a bit annoying but I think it might have been due to other things too. I don't know, I'm definitely going to switch back if it's the problem. I feel like I've got to try more birth control pills and hope to find the right one for me. I haven't found the right pill yet. So, I've had a lot of trouble with birth control pills. And I'm on the mini-pill now, but I really do not like it.

I had some light spotting between cycles when I first started Enskyce, but it went away after a few months. My doctor said it was normal, but I'm still a bit worried. I don't have any weird side effects, but I've read the list of potentially severe side effects, and it's a bit concerning.

I'm on Enskyce and I've lost some weight but I also have some breast soreness, if that's a thing? Is it normal? Did anybody else experience that? I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not.

I had some pretty bad headaches and nausea when I started Enskyce. I switched to a different pill and it went away. Maybe it was just my body getting used to it? I don’t know. I had bad reactions to some birth control pills that other people can handle without a problem, so maybe it's important to be open with your doctor about unusual symptoms.

I've been on Enskyce for about a year and haven't had any major issues. I did experience some mood swings and occasional headaches, but nothing too severe. I've heard that the side effects can vary a lot from person to person, so it's important to stay vigilant and talk to your doctor if something feels off. I'm also going to call my doctor and ask if those tests exist. If there are any tests that can alert me to potential symptoms, I think they would be helpful.

I've read that some people experience really severe side effects, like blood clots and liver problems. It's scary stuff. I definitely think it's worth talking to your doctor if you're feeling worried.
