Don't get this contraception if you want to keep your good mental health. It almost ruined my relationship, I turned into a complete monster. The short periods and the clear skin was nice but it really jeopardised my relationship and ruined my mental health. Coming off was the best thing I could've ever done for myself.

Went on this pill to try and ease my intense cramps, but it made my periods much much heavier and I’m not sure its worth it.
