Awful experience. Very short or no periods some months. Had period build up for a week, feeling like I would have a period for another week then nothing or 1-2 days of a period. Was worrying when combined with breast soreness and huge food cravings. Low mood and feeling an uncontrollable rage at other times. No feeling down below and no sex drive/feelings of attraction. Struggled to have an orgasm when on the pill leaving me feeling frustrated and not relaxed. The lack of period also felt like I was storing hormones/anger with no release. I used to feel normal at the end of my break but as soon as I started taking it again, I felt crap/angry etc.
Very negative mood

After being on this contraception for around a year, started experiencing thrush a lot. Came off for a few months and the thrush was gone, as soon as i went back on it was back! Ended up changing to a progesterone only pill.
