Combined pill and weight gaining

I decided to go back on COC pills after years of having depo injections. The pills have made my periods lighter and I only get some cramps the day before I have my bleed. No real side effects apart from weight gain and my breasts have increased in size and are more tender (all the time not just when having my period).

This pill has been awful for me. I went on as had really bad irregular periods but i have seen no change except bleeding in between, extreme abdominal pain and hair loss. I have also seen my skin which is normally clear be breaking out all the time. I am only speaking of my experience

I was prescribed this an ‘equivalent’ pill to Yasmin. I trusted that it would be the same, as Yasmin is the only pill that has been okay for me. I had been on Yasmin a year and then they gave me dretine with no heads up. I gave it a chance but I am on week 4 I’ve had nearly 3 weeks of dark brown (occasionally red) bleeding. Bloating, increased spots on the first week but they have cleared up now by week 3. I have noticed a massive affect on my mood. I feel very down and sensitive, could cry any second and feel snappy and angry too. I need to change back to Yasmin. So disappointed
