pros - clear skin, less oily, went up a cup size, lighter periods and option to skip them entirely cons - after a few years it just got rid of my sparkle. I’ve noticed whenever i stopped using it i was more outgoing, more horny, enjoyed sex more. One of the main reasons was just how dry it was down there making sex feel like a chore.

I got switched from Maexeni to Levest due to medication shortages. Despite levest having few negative side effects, it’s caused vaginal dryness especially during sex. My sex drive has also disappeared and it is now very painful to have, which is obviously very frustrating (and embarrassing when hooking up with people), not something I had ever experienced before January this year. I’ve noticed this seems to be a very common side effect so beware. Safe to say I will be switching back to Maexeni asap!!!!
