Like lots of people, I was moved onto Femodette after Loestrin 20 was discontinued. It's been better than some others I've tried and overall I feel like the side effects are mild and manageable. But lately I've had more mood swings and I feel for the first time I've gained weight just around my middle (I've always been a healthy eater and never struggled with weight gain before). Maybe it's just my age (now early 30s) but I do wonder if this pill brand has an effect. I always look bloated and it's hard to shift.

No bad side effects but my previously high libido became non-existent, no desire to engage in intercourse so I have to stop this pill

Even though I am very good at taking my pills, on time every night, I had to stop taking this pill as I was so badly effected every month. My parter could tell when I was near the end of my strip and due on, because I became a monster. I felt terrible every month. Really down and sad and major issues with self confidence. Massive increase in cramps and pain during my noticeably heavier periods! I really did not get along with this pill at all. At one point I bled none stop for two months, people would avoid me!! Thank goodness I stopped!
