Took for around 3 years, suddenly realised it was my pill causing weight gain which i honestly couldn’t shift. Stopped it and within a week my appetite is normal, I’m not emotional eating and my boobs have gone down a cup size. In a week!

This pill was great in regards to not negatively affecting my moods at all - I felt more positive overall on this than on my previous pill Microgynon. However, my skin was not as good and I also had a complete loss of sex drive, which then caused me to have painful sex whenever I did have sex. I am looking to change pill.

I am on it now and in only a month ive realised I am so irritable and angry all the time. I’m usually A really tolerant person but I find myself snapping a lot and being very withdrawn from conversation, almost like I want to be alone. My hair is also now really thin and dry / breaking off and I don’t even use heat products !! I am going to switch pill immediately.


Somewhat negative mood
