I swapped from the combined pill to Cerazette because I was having anxiety, dizziness and low libido. These have both improved since changing. The most annoying thing has been inconsistent bleeding and spotting. I won’t bleed for 3 months then will have spotting out of nowhere for 3 weeks. I have also got acne on my chin which I didn’t have before. Overall though these extra inconveniences have far outweighed the reduced anxiety, dizziness and libido issues.

I had to switch birth control after having a Pulmenary Embolism (blood clot) - GP switched me onto the mini pill. I was on it for 7 months and bled nearly everyday. Regular levels of bleed during the first few months and then lighter but still spotting most days.
