I have been on the Desogestrel pill for around 7 years now and I haven’t had any major issues on this pill and it did stop my periods (only the occasional spotting but very minimal) but I have only just noticed within the last year or so that it has a negative impact on my sex drive and makes me more anxious (I’m very much an over thinker). I’ve only realised this since following the lowdown and I thought I didn’t have any other options but the pill and I had to deal with the side affects. 
To be honest I haven’t had any problems with taking the pill daily, I have missed the odd one when life gets a little busy but I’m looking into something more long term now such as the coil.

I don't have a lot of side effects on this pill. However, the side effects that I do have are so annoying that I'm gonna stop (after almost 6 months on this pill). I bleed almost constantly. Sometimes I don't bleed for a week or so, but then it starts again. Sometimes it's spotting, but other times it really feels like a period, with cramps and everything. Also my libido is literally gone.

No noticeable symptoms at first. Constant light bleeding. Maybe 20/30 days a month. Loss of libido. Gradually lost motivation and always tired.

I have to take the mini-pill because of other medication I am on. I have been on it since the first lockdown and I have had no problems. Since then I've had my period once (when I had covid and I think it was because of the change in my body), otherwise no period, no pms, no pain. My skin or hair hasn't really changed at all. I do get headaches but I have chronic headaches so wasn't any different from the pill. My only gripe is taking it at the same time every day. e

I feel like a whole new person. I've discovered a new sex drive I never had before because I've been on different hormonal contraception for years. I'm now using condoms only and it's perfect! Periods are worth having my body be mine again. The only downside is I've noticed an increase in facial hair which doesn't make me feel good about myself and wish I'd never started the pill in the first place. BUT even with that, I'd stop taking it again for all the other benefits.

I didn't realise it at the time but it made my mood incredibly low but the worst thing was that it took away all my sex drive and triggered vaginismus so I couldn't even enjoy the little sex I did have.

This pill did not agree with me - my moods were all over the place and I’d be bleeding for months at a time. Have since switched to the hormonal coil with which I’ve already had a more positive experience after just a few weeks. The migraines I experienced may not have been related to the pill - I have suffered with them for a few years now and was taken off of the combined pill for this reason.

I did really like this pill; I hardly experienced any symptoms so in terms of that it's been the best I've used. However, my periods were really irregular and long (~2 weeks) and I just got a bit fed up of having to deal with it. If you don't mind periods, then I would recommend but it was just a bit disruptive for me

I swapped to a coil, kyleena and it’s so much better, getting it fitted was traumatic but worth it

I was put on this at 15 due to awful periods where I couldn’t even go to school. I had to take 2 pills a day for the first 2 months to stop bleeding then I never had a period and break through bleeding once every 4 months like spotting. My sex drive was low from it and had issues naturally lubricating. Also made my acne so much worse and I had stomach problems, this may be due to the lactose in the pill as I am vegan. I came off this and swapped to a coil once I was more sexually active and love the IUS!

I have been on Marvelon previously which made me terribly  anxious with few panic attacks a day.
I was really concerned that Desogestrel will make me feel the same. My mood was up and down (more on the anxious side) during first 3 months when I was experiencing irregular spotting and bleeding. After 3rd month the bleeding stopped and my mood evened out. Also no periods since.
Overall 4/5 as much better than combined pill for me disadvantage is excessive sweating, greasy hair and acne.

Been on Cerelle/Cerazette/Desogestrel (all same) for 3 years since swapping from combined pills that were terrible for my mood. This pill has evened out my mood and stopped my periods which is ideal
