I have now taken this for a year and the side effects of this pill are more prominent than my previous pill. I bleed and spot after having a break, my sex drive has decreased and I encounter random strong period cramps randomly throughout the month

It took a couple of months for initial symptoms to improve after beginning this pill, and I have taken it continuously for all except the first cycle. The first cycle was a disaster, I cried for 48 hours of the pill break, and haven't taken one since! No spotting since then, and I've noticed some weight gain and hair loss but nothing drastic.

I have been on this Pill for just under 3 years after having to take it with my implant to help regulate my periods. I was on a higher dose of oestrogen but it makes me nauseous and sick so I ended up having this. At first it was great. My periods when from every day to regularly every 3 months (as I take 3 months and then a week break as advised). Over time though I have ended up suffering with chronic cystitis which comes once a week and last for a few days so I’m always struggling with needing to wee. My moods lowered and I became more down. Other than my week off where I felt a lot happier and more myself. I also had an extremely low sex drive which wasn’t the case before, have put on some weight and have starting suffering a bit with acne. I ended up getting fed up of having to deal with constant cystitis and called my GP to change my pill. I have since changed my pill as of today to another called Millanet 20/75 and hopefully it will help alleviate my symptoms.
