Lost some weight, went up a cup size, felt the same as I did before going on BC. Struggled with recurring thrush and UTIs due to the strength of the pill and now no longer take.

Was on this pill for around 7 years from the age of 15. Worked fairly well. The main side effects I experienced were bleeding during sex, chronic thrush, fatigue and low libido. After around 5 years I started peeing a lot during the night which led me to believe that it caused some insulin resistance. The pharmacies where I lived stopped supplying it so I ended up switching to another pill.
