Lovima has essentially stopped my periods, with rare spotting for 1-2 days (hardly requires a pantyliner), but mostly these only come if I have been late taking a pill (less than 12 hours late but more than 6ish hours late). My mood is definitely slightly better, I noticed it especially after > 6 months. Less side effects than a combined pill so honestly would recommend.

I have found that the mini pill just doesn’t work for me. I’ve been on it 3-4 months and I thought by now I’d be used to it. I have been pretty much non-stop bleeding/spotting for around 2 months now and my mood has been awful. I am in the process of changing to the copper IUD as I’ve seen better reviews for this. Only positive I’ve found is that it covers me for 12 hours so if I miss one I just take it again when I remember

For the first 2 weeks this pill seemed to have no side effects apart from the odd cramp. During the 3rd week i was feeling very hormonal and felt nauseous. I completed pregnancy tests as i thought this felt like early pregnancy symptoms - negative. I rode it out for a couple more weeks but felt like the constant nausea was causing me anxiety and affecting work so had to stop. Breasts were sore and enlarged but this got better after the 3rd week. I would have liked to continue this pill if it wasn't for the nausea and anxiety.

Prior to using this pill I was on another brand if mini pill with no side-effects. The pharmacy decided to change the brand without warning, like they were changing a brand of sweets. I've steadily gained a lot of weight over 8 months. I'm a very active person & so the weight makes me look bloated & thick, mainly settling on my stomach, boobs & backside. I've also had some major mood swings, particularly with anxiety, which I've only just attributed to this pill. Plus side is I've had no periods & no issues with my sex drive. I will be coming off this pill & chatting with my nurse about alternatives.

Was recommended this form of contraception by GP and started it on 1st day of period and bled for 18 days but have not had anything since but only been on it for 2 months. Skin feels drier but that could be age, but worth mentioning just in case.
