Took at night before bed, not much nausea. Definitely noticable breast pain with use, albeit not too sore. Periods shorter. Acne used to clear after period but now I'm always a bit spotty throughout

Cleared my skin up really well after suffering with acne for years. Thought I’d found the perfect pill until it made me feel severely depressed and constant mood swings. I have been taking this pill for 7 months and no improvement on mood just cleared my skin well

I got this as it’s the same quantity of hormones as microgynon what I had taken before & that helped my acne. This one though the same ingredients has broken me out terribly, oilier skin/hair & I am sooo touchy I’m in such a bad mood. Also I’ve had so much spotting which I didn’t experience with microgynon I don’t understand how a different brand could affect you so differently can’t wait to change to another
Very negative mood
