I was on this pill for 4 years and I used to swear by it. Got put on it when I was 16 and it didn’t have much effect on anything other than being slightly more emotional and having larger boobs. GP tried to change me over to microgygon which gave me HORRIBLE side effects as they stopped providing Maexeni. Overall great pill, periods were very regular after about 6 months, skin was clear and mood swings were not terrible

I started seeing a therapist because of how depressed this pill has made me. My doctor advised I continue to take it despite this. I am on my third month and it has only got worse! I have never been depressed in my life so it’s thrown my world upsidown. I previously had an IUD which I had in for around a year, I had continuously bleeding for that entire year hence why I made the switch. Fair to say I’ll be getting on this pill as soon as I can.
Very negative mood

this pill really worked for me, i’ve been on it since i was 15 and had to switch due to migraines, but i always had clear skin on it and it didn’t lower my mood either, also found it really reliable even if i took it with a 7 hour window
Improved skin
