Lucette pill and pelvic infection

This pill was fine for the first year but after 3 years I noticied a huge change in me. This pill made me depressed, gain weight and be prone to dryness, thrush and have a super low libido. These were the main things I noticed when taking this pill. I came off it after feeling very depressed and wanting to make a change, which coming off this has. I am no longer depressed and have my libido back, however this pill really cleared up my skin, so when stopping taking it I definitely have seen my skin worsen. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this pill, I’m now on the mirena coil and feel much better with no periods ( as it’s a localised hormone ).

It was all in all very effective. However the main reason I was put off is my increased low mood and increased anxiety.

I used to have mild acne when I was a teenager and a few weeks into taking the pill my skin cleared up completely! However, my periods cramps became a lot worse. I recently took at 3 month break from the pill as I had been on it for about 3 years and wanted to give my body a break from the hormones. Towards the end of the 3 years I noticed that the pill wasn’t as effective at keeping my skin clear as it used to be. I have gone back on it recently, it’s been a week, my mood swings are very intense and so far my skin has not cleared up again.
