When started, my gynecologist said that some spotting is expected. I bled for a whole month, seriously like on a heavy period. Had to treat anemia for months after that. Later everything normalised and my period lasts now 2-3 days which I'm extremely happy about. If you accidentally miss a pill be ready to have period like cramps for a day. Skin became clearer, breasts enlarged a bit, no mood swings. Overall, happy with this pill.

Was told by my gynaecologist that some spotting in the first month was to be expected and normal. I bled for a month, every day, even more than during my usual period. Had to treat anemia for months after that but it was ok later on. Now my period is bately there, 2-3 days and I'm very happy about it.

My experience is overall positive. For the first month I had breakthrough spotting almost every day, it was light and painless, just a bit worrisome, but it settled in the 2nd month. I started taking Drovelis for painful periods, and I have to say that while they are shorter and lighter, it's not like it completely changed around. I used to take around 4 painkillers a day on my period, now I'm down to one: so it is a big change, but I can't say the periods are painless. In the first month I also had some mood swings, but I can't be sure if that's due to the pill. I'm writing this review because I was very scared of taking birth control after reading so many negative opinions, but overall it's a net positive experience. No changes to my weight, my libido is stable, overall it's nothing too scary.
