Best contraceptive pill

3.5

33 reviews

Eloine is a pill with a low oestrogen dose and a progestogen called drospirenone which may be good for acne and mood problems. It has a slightly higher risk of blood clots than other combined pills. It comes in a pack of 28 tablets with a 4 day break built in as placebo tablets, so may be harder to take continuously.

I unfortunately had to stop taking this after the 3 month period because of the amount of bleeding I was experiencing. Long periods and constant breakthrough bleeding throughout the month. Also had consistent headaches. Unsure if this was caused by the contracpetion but that was the main side effect I experienced.

So far I love Eloine. I take it in the evening which stops me getting nausea. First week I had a bit of nausea and spotting but giving it time to settle, it stopped. My rosacea came back mildly, but it’s worth it as I love this pill so much and I can deal with skin issues easier than mood issues. So glad I tried this one. I hated all other combo pills.

After having tried the copper coil, which really did not work for me due to constant spotting, I switched to the pill. Having been on the pill before, I was looking for a contraceptive that would also help with clear skin and not cause hair loss, similar to Dianette or Yasmin. I tried returning onto Yasmin but had too many side effects. Due to my age, doctors were reluctant to put me on the combined pill, but I was concerned the mini-pill would not have the same benefits as the combined pill. Eventually, a senior doctor advised I try Eloine, which is similar in benefits but still lower dose than Yasmin. I had some side effects initially and felt the effect on my mood, but after 3 months, I barely have any side effects, clear skin and no additional hair loss.
