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.

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.
