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.

I went on Yasmin to try and control my prolonged periods. I committed to giving it 3 months but could not tolerate it any longer. Although the prolonged periods stopped, I got breakthrough bleeding / spotting every month. I also had extremely bad head aches for weeks at a time and felt really low. I had a few major dizzy spells where I’d completely lose my balance too which I can’t say for sure was the pill, but the other side effects definitely were. I even at times had intense increased urination where I would need to go for a wee every ten minutes (no exaggeration). I really wanted this pill to work after hearing good things about it and if I could’ve given it longer to settle I would’ve but I couldn’t tolerate the side effects any more.

I tried this pill after taking Microgynon for 9 years. For the first few months my breasts were much bigger and more tender. I tried the tricycling method but found I was spotting a lot throughout the 3rd pill strip so switched to 2 strips back to back, but still experienced a bit of spotting in the week before the pill break. Every time I started taking it again after the 7 day break, I was very very nauseous. At the start this lasted for a few days but as time went on, the nauseousness lasted for longer and longer. My sex drive was really low on this pill and I was experiencing vaginal dryness too which definitely didn't help. My mood was TERRIBLE on this pill. I switched from Microgynon because of mood swings, but Cilique just left me with a permanently low mood. It started to feel like depression - I had no motivation to do anything, I didn't feel excitement for anything, I felt myself wishing I could just stop existing at times (not suicidal but just feeling like there was no point in sitting around being miserable). I have my wedding coming up in about a month and I just had to switch pills because I couldn't even look forward to it. After switching to a different pill the low mood immediately lifted thankfully. I didn't gain weight but I definitely didn't look as slim as I normally do - I suspect it was maybe water retention as I just looked a bit puffier.
