Enpresse has been both good and bad for me. At first it was great. It shortened my periods from at least 10 days to 4 or 5 days. I barely had any breakouts or cramps. Now I still have shortened periods but I have acne every month and cramps. I also experience increased discharge every day. I also have yeast infections at least twice a month. I sometimes experience migraines (before and during my period) that come with nausea, causing vomiting at times. I have a decrease in appetite and nausea... View full comment
