Want to know if birth control implants cause vagina itching and discharge

Gave me extreme PMDD. Very irritable and low moods and irrational thoughts. Would not recommend unless you are low in oestrogen before taking. Acne in the first 1-2 months of taking.

I’m on day 11 of taking this pill and I can’t wait until the end of the pack to stop taking it. I wanted to like it and perhaps I haven’t given it enough of a chance but my mood swings are horrendous, I feel depressed and I don’t ever feel like doing anything, the only thing I can blame is this pill. My skin is awful at the moment and since taking it I’ve had break outs all over my chin that weren’t there previously. I really wish I could see it through for a few months but when I’m feeling like this it’s almost impossible to keep it up as my mental health is in a right state. One minute I’m fine and the next I’m furious. I was given this pill to help with breakthrough bleeding and it has helped with that but weighing up the pros and cons it really isn’t worth it for me personally.

I actually used the brand Freedo (option wasn't listed above) but it has the same active ingredients and dose as yasmin (Freedo is often dispensed in Ireland). I didn't like this pill as I found I was EXTREMELY emotional when I was on it. Weeping constantly, severe anxiety. (Disclaimer: I was definitely going through a tough time when I was taking this pill but once I changed contraception I was no longer crying all the time and found my emotions were easier to control).

This was the first contraceptive pill I was ever put on and the doctor recommended using 3 packs back to back without any break. The first 3 months were absolutely fine - no major side effects. However, after this point I started to get a lot of spotting. The word spotting sounds like its just a small bit of blood but this was A LOT. It ended up that I would pretty much just have 1 blood free week in the month. And at least 2 weeks of what essentially was as heavy as a period. (I have had ongoing issues with bleeding/spotting on contraceptive pills - no underlying issues - this bleeding ceased when I got the Mirena coil).

I've been taking this for years now and it has been able to stop my periods which is why I wanted to take it in the first place. The only issue for me is remembering/being able to take it at the same time everyday. If I get my timings out of sync then I'll end up having a period. But, the periods I do have are generally less painful.
