Being on the pill was one of the most negative experiences I have ever had. I was such a happy outgoing positive person. When on the pill I turned into a different person. I would scream and shout. Totally irrational in any decision making and cry all the time. It was horrible. It damaged relationships at the time.

On the whole, the mental and physical side effects of the pill which I’m using have been manageable and they haven’t outweighed the benefits. However, I am still worried about possible long term effects like depression or not being able to have children.
