Really liked this pill and really disappointed it was discontinued. It was a brilliant pill - good contraceptive cover and minimal side effects

Loved this pill minus the increase in anxiety. Would still be on it if it wasn't discontinued. Tried milinette and levest after this pill and both don't agree with me. Bring back this pill!
