I used a pill with the lowest hormones available, but I hated taking it because it as difficult to take at the exact same time every day and I felt that it was having some side effects on my mood/weight. I only started taking the pill because I was unaware of other options available to me and had heard anecdotally that IUDs were painful. However, I switched to a hormonal IUD (Mirena) about 6 years ago and have had a much more positive experience. I initially switched when Trump got elected because I was worried about what his administration would do to women's healthcare access, and an IUD seemed like the best, most permanent option available to me. It was not as painful as I thought to have inserted (but everyone is different!) and I still get my periods every month, which I don't mind. It has not impacted my mood/weight the same way that the pill did.

Since Loestrin 20 has been discontinued I'm yet to find a pill that works for me :(. I've tried rigevidon, microgynon, some others I can't remember, and the implant!! Nothing seems to work the same, I've particularly had problems with my sex drive since going off it and vaginal dryness. Does anyone know a pill like Loestrin 20 in the uk!????

I’ve been on Loestrin 20 for heavy periods and horrendous pain for 7 years. I’m devastated it’s been discontinued and won’t be returning. There’s no equivalent pill so now as of next month when my last strip is used I have to go back to that awful life of pain and anxiety that my periods caused. I had no issues taking it. I gained a stone in weight but I was underweight. My breaths did grow which was needed haha. No other issues.
