Stopped the mini pill after 3 years and switched to the combined to see if my skin and moods would improve. My skin definitely has improved and is similar to my post-accutane skin I had before I started hormonal birth control. My mood swings remained awful. I took the packs typically back to back but on a couple occasions I had breakthrough bleeding so took a 4 day break. I never had a yeast infection/thrush before taking this pill but in the 10 months of taking the combined pill I’ve had about 7 cases of thrush. Doctors kind of dismissed me saying it must be something else but it’s the only thing in my life that has changed, must be the estrogen! Finally had enough of the recurrent yeast infections affecting my relationship and sex life as well as day to day comfort so decided to switch to the copper coil last week. Fingers crossed my hormones will balance out!

Been on this pill for a few years and absolutely loving it. I’ve previously been on a different pill and had the implant both of which I felt made me crazy. This one makes me feel the most myself I don’t have a fault to say about it at all!
Very positive mood

I tried a few different pills from age of 16 which all had something not quite right with weight gain, horrid moods and bringing on bad skin. I kept going and was put on Lucette at 23 (I think), genuinely the best one for me. I feel like myself no mood swings and completely stops periods until I take my break, even then it’s quite light and over before I know it. If I forget to take one it does bring on some spotting but once I take my break and start again it’s all back to normal.
