I went on this pill as a contraception and so far it has done a great job at that. It has not stopped my periods sadly as they have got heavier but cramps have decreased - although I feel generally more ill on them. I have been on this pill twice, the first time it made me incredibly depressed. The second I have noticed no other side effects. It is good for me :)

good for me except it gave me painful cystic acne but didn’t experience any irregular bleeding or mood swings until the last month of using it (which is why i stopped)

I’ve got prescribed drovelis because I have irregular periods and my acne got extremely worse during the last 3 months. I’m now at the end of my second dose of drovelis and unfortunately my skin hasn’t recovered or got better yet. Actually I think it is quite worse and painful. Although the pill didn’t change my lifestyle and my period are regular now. I hope someone who had really bad acne to come forward with their experience because I’m starting to lose hope.
