Didn't get pregnant so that was good, no noticeable side effects other than think I had some loss of libido. Did have increased spots after coming off the pill and irregular periods still almost a year after stopping which is frustrating when now ttc.

After having a nightmare from getting pregnant and miscarrying from the copper IUD, i wanted to try a hormonal contraceptive which doesn't involve anything being inserted inside my body. Been taking clique for a month now, and i cant complain. I was worried to take it because of the hormones and the portion side effects but I definitely would say that it was worth it. My skin is now clear, my periods feel lighter, less painful and dont last as long. Which is definitely what i wanted after having painful and heavy periods for a while. So i would recommend for skin problems and heavy periods. Only issue is breast soreness, which often makes them feel uncomfortable and it feels like they've increased in size.
