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.

Looking back, after 2 years of taking femodette I gained weight and have struggled ever since exactly when I began taking this pill. I plan to stop as soon as i’ve found a new pill. I’ve also found my mood swings to be quite intense and bad vaginal dryness.

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.
