I’ve been on a couple of pills in the past which have been fine other than the odd side effect. But I’ve changed over due to those small side effects getting worse such as the main one being water retention in the arms. Brevinor, this is by far the worst pill I’ve tried. The first 3 days were terrible. I felt faint, tired & dizzy. My boobs were so sore for the first 21 days when I was taking this pill. Swollen and sore, even putting my bra on. I have gone back to my GP and they have prescribed rigevidon….judging by the reviews on here I will not be taking it or any other pills. I will be starting to track my cycle naturally in the new year whilst using barrier methods such as condoms.

Moved to Brevinor to try and prevent breakthrough bleeding on another pill, not successful in the first three months. Tried to renew prescription but blood pressure just too high. Switched to mini-pill.

I’ve had trush twice in 6 months and I usually take a break monthly. On day I come off the pill I usually cry uncontrollably or cry myself to sleep. It only lasts one night but it’s horrible. Thanks to Davina McColl for teaching us about this website.
