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.

I’m on the second pack of this pill after trying approx 7 other pills due to heavy periods and extremely painful cramping. My previous pill was Microgynon 30 which caused me to spot/discharge more which has continued with this pill. The skin down there is extremely dry and itchy and has frequently broken into small cuts. Especially due to having to wear liners a lot due to spotting/blood coloured discharge. I have a 6 month prescription so fingers crossed these side effects go away.

I seem to be prone to low moods when using the pill - 3/4 including this pill have left me feeling quite anxious and lethargic. Increased breast size was a nice bonus (!) but looking to switch pill or try the injection before the moods affect my social life/ work
