Cilique pill side effects

I gained weight and felt more irritable when taking this contraception

switched from levest bcos of skin, didn’t really help my skin at all i think i experienced more breakouts on it than when i was on levest, made my boobs bigger but also i feel like it made my cellulite worse?? also was bloated a lot. sex drive went down like crazy

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

Having used cilique for 6 years I have found it very reliable and never had any issues. However all of a sudden it’s not an available and don’t know what’s the next best thing. Doctors have prescribed Gedarel but I’m not enjoying the reviews.

I have been on so many contraceptive pills and am usually unfussy but cilique’s side effects were crazy - weight gain (5kg in 3 months), really noticeable facial hair growth and the WORST chin/hormonal acne. A real nightmare

switched from levest because of my skin, i think it’s cleared up my skin a bit (i have a better skincare routine now tho so could be that too), but ive been spotting quite a bit in the last few months. periods have gotten less painful which is good! boobs also got bigger ;) sex drive went down a bit, moods have always been all over the place tbh LOL

Within a week of taking cilique I became extremely bloated way more then normal, all of my jeans felt way tighter then usual and everyone knows their own body so when your body changes you can notice it easily. My appetite severely decreased and my boobs got tender and swollen it became uncomfortable. I normally take my pill at 4pm and when I was on my old pill if I took it a few hours later nothing would happen but I forgot and took it at 8pm and got breakthrough bleeding, even after taking my pill at 8pm and the next day on time I still had the bleeding. Also noticed I felt very faint around 6pm on the day I was late to taking it and also got cramps. I know this is a lot of information but it is really helpful to know the symptoms others get for a certain pill. I’ve decided to stop taking this as I really don’t like it and don’t recommend it but other reviews have said they suggest cilique so I’d say try it and see what works for you.

Did not help with heavy periods and cramping, instead made it worse.

Since being on this pill my mood and emotions have improved, my period cramps are much lighter, bleeding is lighter, sex drive has improved. Everything about this pill has been 10x better than the previous 5 I’ve tried. The only thing I’d say is I’ve experienced a couple more spots since being in it but nothing major. When I was looking at these reviews before I started this pill they were pretty much all negative so I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have bad side effects for everyone :)

I found this pill fine for a few years and then started getting a fair bit of spotting between periods, which I think increased thrush and BV which I kept having to treat every few months or so. Also realised I was having brain fog and feeling quite emotional and low mood/ motivation. I felt a lot better mentally when I came off this pill and the spotting and regular infections stopped. My acne and oily skin got worse when I came off this pill though.
