I had been taking this pill for 25 years, since I was 15. Now I’m 40 my GP won’t supply me with the combined pill anymore and wants to switch me to the mini pill. I had periods, when I was 13-15, where I would bleed heavily for 2 weeks, with regular flooding, plus extreme abdominal pain, followed by 2 weeks no bleeding then I’d go back round again. Brevinor changed my life! I could not recommend this pill more. You will more likely hear the negatives than the positive from these reviews but honestly this was amazing for me and would still be taking it if I could.

This pill has made me very anxious and also a bit snappy. It has been good for stopping periods as i take back to back so i dont bleed (periods are painfull and heavy otherwise) .. but expeirence some breakthrough bleeding. Thrush has been the biggest problem as i cant seem to get rid of it and im sure that the pill is the problem!! Also my eyes have become dryer and ive become more sweaty.

My favourite combined pill so far! My periods used to be super heavy and around 11 days long, i’d vomit get fevers ect. I have tried rigevidon and yasmin but found that the higher progesterone affected my moods quite negatively. This one has higher oestrogen. My periods now last 4 days and I only get light cramps for a day! I go through the normal cycles of my boobs hurting the week before my period which I never had before. My mood feels a lot more stable on this pill too. My skin has always been clear and this pill hasn’t changed that. I do find that I have more headaches but I’m not sure if i’m just taking notice more.
