Initially, this caused so much spotting and periods that lasted from days to a number of weeks that it meant I couldn’t have sex anyway. Having said this, I didn’t want to. My breasts were so sore. Once the periods reduced (slightly), I found myself having unbearable anxiety, mood swings, thrush and eventually had to stop taking this without much warning as symptoms were uncontrollable. It made me doubt my judgement and thoughts, I was never sure if my feelings were valid or if my moods were so unstable that it was causing me to overthink everything.

Went on this after the combined pill, improved mental health, brought my sex drive back, and stopped impulsive eating- but gave me a 19 day period and spotting that lasted even after I switched back to the combined pill, including vaginal itching in the first days of my period (internal thrush-like)

This pill caused numerous issues which lasted even after I stopped taking it. I spotted the entire time I was on it, I had thrush, cystitis, water infections and these led to 2 kidney infections. I completely lost my sex drive to the point where the last thing I wanted to do in the world was have sex... unfortunately, it has never been the same even after being off it for years. I put on water weight, and lost lots of hair to the point my hair looked really thin. It would always be greasy even straight after washing. It took years of being off it to recover.
Somewhat negative mood
