I guess like any pill it took my body a while to get used to the new hormones, and then after about three months I felt like I’d found the best pill ever! No side effects - or so I thought. I didn’t break out, no major mood swings, periods slowly disappeared, cramps weren’t as bad. Then eventually I realised I have absolutely no sexual desire. This pill has completely obliterated my libido. Ironic since I decided to come on the pill to enjoy my honeymoon without worry of pregnancy. Such a shame as well but I’ll have to come off it.

I've been on it for a year and a half, it made me gain 10 kgs (even though I work out more than usual and eat a healthy diet), especially weight in my lower stomach, I have a pooch now and am always bloated, which is very uncomfortable. It also made me go up two cup sizes, I was a B cup before starting this contraception and now am a D cup. I also lost all my sex drive and it makes me really moody. I was hoping to be a fan since it's supposed to be less hormones than other pills but unfortunately my body did not react well to it.

I started taking drovelis on day one of my last period, and since then I haven't stopped bleeding, it is not spotting, I am leading every day like I'm on my period (or more). I actually was searching for the opposite, lighter easier periods. I have read in other forums it should stop after few months! I will give it a try but I am going crazy now. Other effects I have noticed: period-like cramps, tender breasts and in general I have the feeling I changed from having a horrible period week, to a 3 week period!
