I got put on this pill when i had a miscarriage, i get worried from time to time about my period. I have the flo app and i’m on my period about every 2 weeks, but it’s not exactly a period it’s just very very light and lasts for longer then a period should last this only started happening when i missed a pill for a day and the next day took 2 of them so it didn’t screw the pill up in my body and it has so it worries me. I’ve also put on so much weight using the pill.

I had no periods and then all of a sudden had extremely heavy and long periods, bleeding for weeks at a time. I had no libido which isn't ideal at all. I had terrible anxiety with this pill, I would get extremely bad anxiety with intrusive thoughts

I've been on the tablet since July 2024. I first had period that lasted a month from August-September, which was followed by a 10 day break. I then came on again in Ocotber and I've been having a period now for 4 months with no sign of it stopping. Thankfully I've been told my gynecologist to come of it later this year. This tablet came as a suggestion because I had issues with the implant. It's pretty much caused me to go through the equivalent of hell. I'm constantly in pain, I cannot have sex with my boyfriend and I'm pretty much hormonal all the time. I do not recommend going on this pill.
