I went on this a few years ago to stop my cycle because I suffer from severe PMS symptoms/PMDD. I remained on it for a year and experienced no side effects. I came off of it because I wanted to attempt to solve my problems naturally and holistically. Unfortunately my mental health became worse and I decided to go back on it. I have now been taking it for a week and am experiencing some mild side effects this time, but hopefully they will settle down.

I took the 3x pack back to back to help with suspected endometriosis. After about 5 months I felt it was really impacting my mood. I felt really flat all the time and really down. As soon as I came off the pill I felt so much better and lost quite a bit of bloating weight. I would not recommend this contraceptive. Following this I got the hormonal coil fitted which has been so much better
Very negative mood

I have been on this pill for just over 3 months now after being on a mini pill and it has been amazing. I haven't had a period (when I had 2 week-long ones before) or spotting yet, a cramp here and there but aside from that no side effects. My skin is looking good that could be an effect of my skincare routine. This is the best contraceptive I have been on so far, and I've tried a lot.
