Lucette pill and discomfort wearing contact lenses

This took me a while to realise that my mood was being negatively affected as I also had a big change in life, getting married but weight and mood really changed. Felt unhappy a lot of the time and thought it was the changes in life but then stripping those changes away, I stiff felt sad and when I was off the pill on my period o felt so much better and more like myself.

I switched over to this pill when the pharmacy ran out of my normal one (Brevinor) for a few months. After approx 3 months on it I noticed my mood change drastically and I just felt so down all the time. I kept getting bad headaches too and felt like my head was in a cloud, having difficulty concentrating. I decided to come off the pill rather than go back to Brevinor (I had no issues with that one) and the change in the way I feel is amazing. No more random mood swings or headaches and I feel like my emotions are my own again.

I had been on Yasmin for years but when I went for a check-up the doctor told me I was to move to Lucette which was supposedly the same. About 6 months after I started taking it I noticed by hair was not growing to it’s full length and I had some hair loss. I was slightly anaemic and borderline overactive thyroid so put it down to those. Fast forward four years and those issues are resolved, the only other change I can put my hair loss down to was starting to use Lucette. I did have some hair loss before I started taking Yasmin, but that seemed to have approved as I was taking that. I’ve since stopped taking the pill altogether, but thinking about going back on Yasmin to see if that improves my hair.
