Lucette pill and more regular periods

I've been taking Lucette for 14 months after being contraceptive free for 3 years. I haven't noticed major differences at all, however I do feel a slight mental dullness/brain fog as you usually do with the pill which is annoying but that's just part of the side effects. Overall I'm happy with it and wouldn't change to another pill! It's also helped my acne prone skin a lot

I'm going to give this pill 4/5. First off, I started on this pill in 2019 at age 20 in combination with Spironolactone (for 6 months) to help my skin as I had back and chest acne. It definitely did the job well, my skin is so clear and I have no chest or back acne, just the occasional small spot on my face. I wasn't having sex when I first started this pill so it really was just for my skin, the only noticeable side effects at first were my boobs - they grew a lot, I went from a 32dd to a 34ff. I also had some initial weight gain but didn't have a problem losing it, I successfully lost 3 stone whilst on this pill but my boobs stayed massive (30f). The other side effect I noticed were how sensitive my eyes became, even when its rainy/cloudy outside I can barely keep my eyes open without sunglasses; I believe this is due to the pill drying them out as it has done my skin. In the past 2 years however I have noticed (as has my boyfriend and mum) how emotional I am, I cry at everything, sometimes I will be working and just start crying as well as a general feeling of melancholy and being unmotivated - even my coworkers would say 'isn't it about time you cried today?'. Not ideal. I have been contemplating coming off this pill for the past year as the lack of control regarding my emotions has become unbearable, I can't have a regular conversation without crying. Have decided that I am going to do it, although I am nervous that my skin will go back to being spotty though.

Honestly I have been pleasantly surprised with Lucette. I have been using Lucette for what feels like years now. I was originally on Microgynon and at my first check up with my doctor, I mentioned that is was really affecting my mood. I was then put on Lucette which I can honestly say has positively affected my mood - feels like it anyway. I am happier and less moody/ angry than on the precious pill. I could just feel the anger In me with the last pill but it all melted away pretty quickly after changing. That being said - I fully believe this pill has killed my sex drive. I am just not interested in it at all. I also think Lucette has affected my appetite. I feel hungry 24/7 and have definitely snacked ALOT more than before. I have gained about 4 stone since starting this pill. I have tried almost every form of diet/ exercise/ lifestyle change and I have seen no results. I fully blame the pill as I read it stores fat differently. I am looking to come off the pill purely to see if it will affect my weight at all. It has been great other than that though .. on the plus I’ve got great boobs now 🤣. If it wasn’t for the massive weight gain, I would definitely stay on.
