Combined pill and spotting

Highly recommend. Went on the 20-75 because I've previously had nausea issues on a 30mg (dretine) and I haven't had any nausea problems with this. Cleared up a bit of hormonal acne, no noticeable side effects except a slightly lower sex drive. I take 3 packs back to back and then a break so have some breakthrough bleeding but nothing major and my periods do come regularly when I take the break. I went on it to sort out mood swings and it absolutely sorted that out - now have to come off it and go onto a mini-pill for adenomyosis but I wish i didn't have to!

My skin seems to have cleared up nicely over the short course I have been taking it. My periods have not come at all, but I am experiencing breakthrough bleeding on my gap week that doesn't cause any discomfort for me. No significant weight change as far as I can tell. The only issue I really have is my mood and mental health has depleted rapidly. I wake up feeling sick with anxiety every morning and get into a low depressive mood during the day which is affecting my energy, my friendships and overall ability to enjoy life. The fact is that I recently got an ADHD diagnosis and was just coming to terms with myself around the time that these depressive moods started, so ultimately with a consultation I will be trying to change the brand that I am on.

I was very depressed on Yaz Pill, crying every morning and some days didn't want to get out of bed, I gained water weight for the first 6 - 8 months. I did have an increased sex drive on Yaz compared to my current pill.
