Went on this pill to try and ease my intense cramps, but it made my periods much much heavier and I’m not sure its worth it.

I start 3 years ago on the levest pill, and since then I have put on lots of weight and tried to lose it but it hasn’t gone. I only started the pill to regulate my periods, which it has only made them more heavier. I want to change but I don’t know what to?

This pill affected me terribly. For the first couple months I was totally fine just had terrible mood swings and was rlly easily brought to tears but around the 6 month mark I started being super bloated and my stomach was sore when I pressed it. Then I got a really really heavy period (for the first time in 6 months) with cramps that prevented me from doing daily life and my mood swings got a lot worse. Overall this pill sucked for me and made my life a lot harder. Would not recommend!
