Does gedarel 20/150 pill cause body hair getting darker?

Before gederal I had the copper IUD and my periods were so heavy and my skin was a mess and also it moved out of place and had to go to hospital to remove it. Before the IUD I was on the implant for many many years but struggled with my period as it was so irregular and messed with my mood which was not good for me. Since having my IUD removed in 2020 I had a good conversation with my doctor and with other side effects I deal with such as unwanted hair growth she recommended the gederal and so far I’ve enjoyed it, I’m happy I know when I’m going to bleed and feel in control of my contraception compared to IUD/IMPLANT. My mood hasn’t changed, my skin is still spotty but I think that’s just me. It hasn’t helped my unwanted hair growth I’ve been doing laser hair removal anyway but believe this is due to weight gain over the years! Anyway the pill is good I feel happy taking it and felt better in myself compared to how I was on the implant and copper coil. I’m happy to be on this up until I’m ready to have children maybe In a few years, at leats I don’t need to get something removed! Hope this helps anyone xx

Can't say for sure if mood changes are due to this pill but anxiety is through the roof - it has made me have low tolerance, struggle to go to school, panic attacks and persistent heightened anxiety.

I had dreadful mood swings and felt euphoric or depressed - I had this diagnosed whilst on the pill and all emotions were exacerbated. I couldn’t exercise, because I was always sore; I gained a substantial amount of weight; found it hard to keep friendships as I was always on edge; my skin got worse; I experienced dreadful migraines and had thrush and water infections. Coming off the pill was the best thing I ever did.
