My main reason for taking the pill is for stopping my period and contraceptive second. I don't take the 7 day break. I have heavy periods and now I don't have to worry about it anymore. However, after 3 months or so I do experience breakthrough bleeding, so it doesn't stop me bleeding completely. This was better than my experience on Gederal 30/150 as I was more prone to spotting monthly compared to the quarterly bleeding I have using Millinette on a lower hormone dose.

Very very similiar to millientte 30/75 or Femodene, it was a really good contraception for me, my skin really improved, I didn't gain weight unlike other pills and also my mood wasn't affected either

I started taking contraceptive pills when I was 16. If I knew I had all these side effects I would never started. I tried to stop taking them a few times and my body has an awful reaction when I don't take the pills (such as more hair, massive acne, bad mood, depression, etc).
