Overall I thought this pill worked really well for me however for years didn’t realise that my dwindling sex drive was due to it. This actually caused ongoing difficulty between myself and my partner as we slowly mis-matched in drives which could be upsetting and confusing for both of us. I’ve been with my partner over 8 years and knew it wasn’t because I wasn’t attracted to him. Coming off the pill has confirmed that as I’m nearly a year off and am very nearly back to what I was like pre-pill which is amazing. I had to stop taking it because of supply issue and moved to Yasmin as after researching a lot it seemed most similar. I reacted so badly to that one though it finally gave me to push to stop using contraceptives (apart from condoms) and I’m so glad!

I liked this pill, it was very consistent and helped to deal with my symptoms of endometriosis very well. Unfortunately they have stopped manufacturing it, so I'm now moving to a different contraceptive pill. In the last few months of using it, however, my periods became very irregular. Sometimes not coming at all, being very heavy, or just spotting. This was annoying. I also noticed that I began to have daily discharge which was unusual for me before this pill.

Swapped from loestrin 20 as had a bit of breakthrough bleeding needed higher oestrogen. Such a good pill as got a lot of weight gain with the higher oestrogen pills, however I do get very bad period pain with this one, might just be coincidence.
