Combined pill and lighter periods

I went on Qlaira after reading reviews that it helped with recurring thrush caused from other combination pills. It did - I haven't had thrush since being on this pill! However, definitely experience more mood swings and I bleed lightly for around 10 days which is really frustrating. Considering changing because of the bleed. First month of bleeding was also much more painful but think I was just getting used to it.

this pill was very good the first time i was on it around 3 years ago and i didn't feel much change in myself apart from being able to control my PMDD symptoms which was a positive. i tried some other pills and then got settled back on this and have been for just over a year. i find that this time round my sex drive is very low & i have very little interest in sex or anything of the sort. i also dont feel 100% like myself, not necessarily depressed but just not like me. i feel almost numb and i am very insecure about myself and my body image. i do struggle with mental health issues outside of the pill but i feel like i have periovuously been on pills that dont make me feel this way & the low sex drive is having an all round impact on how i feel towards myself. i take this pill for 3 months and then have a break. i like that i can have control over my breaks and it has also made my periods 3-4 days instead of 6-8 days. i am currently looking to change my pill to soemthing different as i no longer think this is working for me. i do believe that trying pills is so important to find what works for you so please don't be afraid if you're wanting to try this pill.

I was on rigevidon for years before children and never had any side effects. I stopped it when I wanted to get pregnant, and got pregnant the first month of trying (which was two weeks after stopping the pill, before I’d had my first period but when I could tell I was ovulating!). I restarted it after having my children and it made my periods much lighter, less painful, and reduced my cyclical bowel movement pain that I am pretty sure is endometriosis. Annoyingly I had two migraines with aura this year, so have had to stop taking it! Trying to be brave and have the hormonal coil placed.
