Cilique pill and vaginal dryness

I have stayed on the pill for so long as it has helped get my acne under control as well as my period, I regularly took it bsck to bsck for 2 months at a time if I needed o and had no issues

Experienced quite low moods and can often lash out sporadically for sometimes no reason. Also decreased my libido and increased the amount of vaginal discharge i experience making things unpleasant. I often suffer with infections down there but cannot say it is definitely this pill, but acne has gone a bit better and it does do what it’s supposed to

I started out on the combined pill cilest about 7 - 8 years ago for acne. I was then changed during covid to cilique due to cilest no longer being available and was told it was exactly the same ingredients? I’ve been on the pill for my whole adolescence/ early adulthood so I don’t know what my sex drive was like prior to the pill and I struggle to remember what my mood was like prior. I have endometriosis and have been advised to have the coil or stay on the pill. This pill helps me limit the amount of periods I have a year I take 2 packets then a 4 day break continuously. My breakthrough bleeds and still heavy and very painful due to my endometriosis but I dread to think what they would be like without the pill. I do suffer with a lot of headaches, breast tenderness and random cramping pains (however this could be endometriosis). I do often experience episodes of extreme anxiety/ low mood when I am at the end of the second pill packet and it lasts around a week and happens at the same time each 2 monthly cycle. The pill has also improved my acne as this was terrible prior to the pill. Overall, I’m happy with this pill as it outweighs the effects of endometriosis without the pill however if I didn’t have endometriosis I would look at coming off contraception.
