Effectiveness
How Tri-Linyah Affects PatientsEthinylestradiol is a synthetic hormone that helps to prevent ovulation and reduce the growth of the lining of the womb. It is taken once daily and is considered to be a safe drug. However, patients should be aware that there is a risk of blood clots occurring when taking this medication.
How Tri-Linyah works in the bodyEthinylestradiol is a synthetic form of estrogen. Taking it can help reduce the chance of pregnancy by stopping ovulation, making it harder for sperm to travel, and preventing changes in the uterus. It also reduces luteinizing hormone and increases sex hormone binding globulin. All of these effects make it harder for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus.

Tri-Linyah Reviews: What are patients saying about Tri-Linyah?
5Patient Review
4/15/2016 I've been on this pill for almost 4 months now and haven't had a single side effect. All the reviews I read terrified me but I'm totally fine.
5Patient Review
8/9/2019 I've been taking this birth control for nearly five years and I'm very pleased. My period is regular, my cramps aren't as bad, and it's helped clear up my acne significantly.
4.3Patient Review
9/28/2018 The only downside to this birth control that I've noticed is that it's given me acne. Other than that, it's been great! It's shortened and lightened my periods as well as reducing cramping. Unless something changes, I'll definitely keep taking it.
4.3Patient Review
1/30/2019 My acne has calmed down, but I've been spotting for more than two weeks now. It's frustrating because it feels like I'm on an endless period. I don't think I'll continue taking this birth control pill; it might work for others but not for my body.
4Patient Review
2/7/2018 This treatment has made my periods much more bearable. I used to be in a lot of pain and now it's only for a day or so. I've also noticed that my skin is better. However, I am always very moody, nauseous, and have gained weight. My breasts have gone from a C cup to a double or triple D cup. I get migraines quite often too. The most frustrating part for me is the weight gain; I feel fat and ugly. I've gained about 17 pounds since starting this medication.
3.7Patient Review
2/5/2017 I've been on this medication for six months now and have noticed some very concerning changes in my mood and behavior. I'm also vomiting more frequently than before.
3.3Patient Review
1/4/2018 I've noticed an increase in my vaginal discharge since switching to this birth control, which is normal. However, it's more than I had before and can be a bit inconvenient.
3.3Patient Review
9/28/2017 I unfortunately found that this medication made my migraines worse and cramps more severe.
3Patient Review
6/10/2018 While this pill did prevent pregnancy, it was not worth the daily hunger, bloating, and spotting. My hormones were all over the place while I was taking this pill, and I would never recommend it to anyone.
2.7Patient Review
2/25/2016 While this medication did prevent pregnancy, I was definitely not a fan of the side effects. Bloating, anxiety, depression, mood swings, migraines and bad acne made me feel like I was undergoing puberty from hell. The upside is that my sex drive increased and my boobs got bigger.
2.7Patient Review
8/8/2017 I haven't become pregnant yet, but I find this birth control pill to have several negative side effects. The biggest issue is that I'm bleeding much more heavily and for longer periods of time. I've also had pretty severe cramping which radiates into my lower back. One month my period came early which is NOT supposed to happen on birth control, and this month it is still going 3 days after I have started the next pack. Overall, I would not suggest this product to others.
2Patient Review
1/31/2017 I'm pregnant with my fourth child because this medication didn't work for me.
1.7Patient Review
5/3/2017 I would not recommend this pill to anyone. It was supposed to help regulate my heavy periods but instead I bled for the entire two months I was on it. Plus, I had anxiety, nausea and vomiting, and insomnia. Once I stopped taking the pill, all of those symptoms went away.
1Patient Review
11/3/2016 I would not recommend this pill to anyone. It's made my acne so much worse and I've only been taking it for 1 1/2 months.
