Took Blisovi 1/20 (not listed here) for ~13 months with a 2 month break. Since starting it again, I have had no period for 5 months nor withdrawal bleeding whatsoever, and have completely lost my period (secondary ammenorhea) without any real concerns from the doctor. Completely protected me from pregnancy while I took it. I am now off of the pill waiting for my period to return.

This pill leveled out my mood so I didn't get as much pms. I took back to back for 3-6 months at a time, after about 6 months I would start to feel stressed/anxious and would need a break. On my break I would bleed heavily for several days on day 4, even though I started the pill again I still had the desire to have sex, though it wasn't as intense and it did not vary across the month. My main issue was vaginal dryness which was so bad that lube didn't help and sex became painful particularly when I was stressed. The effect increased over the course of being on the pill and was not consistent, but went away once I stopped it

This pill was prescribed to me to help with PMDD symptoms. After a week it caused me to begin having extremely severe panic attacks during which I couldn’t breathe and experienced worrying limb numbness. I didn’t sleep for a week and stopped taking it straight away. Worst experience of my life!
