I was on this for 11 years. the final two years were not good. I genuinely could not predict my mood on a daily basis - i was crying one minute, raging the next, then laughing. My periods were laughable - spotting half the month. In the end i had to come off due to circulation issues in my lower legs. I came off in March 2019 and i can safely say, it has been the best thing I've done this year.
Very negative mood

Ended up coming off all combined pills due to the constant spotting and irregularity of bleeding. I was Loestrin before this and the implant and in the end nothing was alleviating the spotting so I came off entirely to save the annoyance. It wasn’t until I came off all hormonal contraception I realised the effect it had on my mood. I suddenly had more good and bad emotions, highs and lows, and a greater sex drive and sex experience. Definitely worth the inconvenience of condoms.
