Gedarel 20/150 pill and thrush

Had no problems whilst taking this for a couple of months and then decided to take it back to back as wanted to stop bleeding and reduce cramps but it came with very irregular spotting and bleeding so i decided to take it regularly 21/7 which stopped the spotting and irregular bleeding. Unfortuneatly this pill gave me vaginal dryness which lead to bleeding and pain during sex and experiencing abnormal vaginal discharge. I ended up with endless appointments to GUM and GP for examinations and nothing found apart from cervical ectropian. I decided to come off this to see if my symptoms would improve which they did after a couple of months and my sex drive improved. This helped with my relationship.

Would not recommend !! this was the 2nd pill I tried as the first Rivedgon gave me headaches. Cause terrible depression. Started to cry at everything, dark thoughts, never suffered with anything like this before taking

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.
