Overall after trying many different pills, this was the best, I started to have very depressive weeks so I stopped as I was afraid of some suicidal thoughts.

After I had my first child I was given the option of taking the mini pill while I was breastfeeding. Unfortunately for me I suffered with symptoms of vaginal dryness , erratic mood changes which led into post natal depression and experienced light spotting. I really didn’t like how the pill was making me feel and I just wanted to try a natural method whilst I continue to breastfeed. Which is why I started to use condoms and Family planning methods.

I’ve been on this pill for 4 months now and all round it’s been good. It completely stopped my periods from the beginning and I’ve not experienced any bleeding since starting. It’s not affected my mood or anything like that which is always a bonus, in my opinion this pill isn’t for those who suffer with or have a past with acne. My skin had completely cleared up before I started this pill and I’ve been suffering breakouts since the start - so I’m switching to the combined pill instead. I’d definitely recommend this pill if you don’t have a past with acne but if you do, maybe look into other methods as it could make it worse.
