I started this pill after being advised to come off the COCP. It gave me severe cystic acne on my body and face which caused pain and low self-confidence, it also caused very frequent UTI's (which I never had before taking this pill) and issues with the skin of my vulva (burning/dryness/pain) which even consultants could not diagnose or treat. I ended up coming off this pill and going back onto the COCP and all my symptoms went away.

Started with cerazette for first 6 months and now on zelletts 7 months in. Had spotting randomly for around 4.5 months, the first 3 months were hardest with what seemed like 2 periods a month! This is my 3rd time being on this pill and it hasn't stopped my periods (it did the 1st and 2nd time around). I'm 31 and have pcos, I found this pill does decrease libido slightly and low mood. However I take mood stabilisers and inositol alongside it (not at the same time), so perhaps helps a little with low mood. I also have pmdd and find that it's not changed that but the mood stabiliser have over time. Although my periods are regular after 4.5 months, they are still heavy bur for first 2 days now, with less cramps. I'm not sure why I still get periods when I didnt before but it does help to know I'm not pregnant, considering mood stabilisers can reduce the efficency of oral contraception. I would recommend this pill, it never changed my weight and the decrease in libido works well for me, given I have a high drive prob just crave it like a regular person now lol. P.S Patience is a must with this pill but I do find it worth it.

I started this pill in January 2022 and at first my experience was quite good, no periods etc. but then after around 3 months I had an unexpected period and lasted over 30 days. I spoke to my GP and she said this is normal so i continued to take this pill. Over the next year I started to experience hair loss (but not too noticeable) and gained a little bit of weight due to an increased appetite. And then started to experience frequent reoccurring cystitis from July onwards. Only after researching online I found that there could be a correlation between this particular type of pill and cystitis (coupled with the random 30 day long periods, intense cramps and then cystitis I was in constant paid for weeks at a time) and I then changed my pill to the combined pill and my side affects have improved. Once coming off this pill also made me realise that my mood was lower during the year and a half of taking the progesterone only pill and now has improved significantly.
