Was looking for a pill to give me a regular period, as I did not get any due to having PCOS. During my 7 day break, I get a bleed, and the first 2 days or so of the break, my sex drive returns. The loss of libido has been the hardest part of changing from the mini pill to the combined pill.

I was a very rare case, unknown to me I was Liver Adenomas growing inside my liver, 8 of them. I would’ve never have known this until October 2022 I went to a&e in severe stomach pain. After many tests & investigations they told me o have 8 tumours in my liver called Adenomas caused by the contraceptive pill. I had to stop taking it immediately. 2 operations later 2 large tumours have gone. 6 remain I am still having tests for in hope they don’t grow. I have been off the pill 6 months now & this months period was unbearable, I am unsure if it is liver related or the pill like leaving my body but I cannot cope with that every month if it stays. I was on the pill for around 15 years, although my condition is rare I never knew it was even possible and my life has completely changed from birth control. I wanted to share my story so more people could know.

In terms of contraception, great. However, I have undesired side effects.
