I didn't get pregnant, however the side effects made me so miserable. I didn't even want to have sex anymore and my moods swung from deep depression and suicidal behaviours to mania. It affected my relationships with my boyfriend, friends and family so much that I had to come off of it and after a month, I felt so much better.

Gave me extreme PMDD. Very irritable and low moods and irrational thoughts. Would not recommend unless you are low in oestrogen before taking. Acne in the first 1-2 months of taking.

Been using this pill for 6 years and it’s the only one I’ve tried. It has definitely helped with periods and cleared up acne unless having a week off. Did gain some weight and have a lot of trouble losing it. I believe this pill is one of the main causes of a depression diagnosis and causes a lot of headaches/migraines and mood swings.
