Marvelon pill reviews

It was convenient and pain-free, but after I stopped taking it, my partner and I both noticed that I felt less depressed and my libido increased. I am considering restarting the pill due to suspected endometriosis to help reduce pain, but I'm worried that I will feel more depressed if I do.

I’ve been taking marvelon coming up to 2 moths now and starting to experience really bad womb cramps and a lot of black/red discharge, I don’t know if this is spotting or just old blood from a missed period. It was suggested by my doctor that I take marvelon because I suffer with bad period cramps due to chronic pelvis pain.

Switched to Marvelon following 3 months of cimizt which gave me terrible acne. Marvel on cleared it up a bit but still got quite a few spots of hormonal acne. I took the pill back to back with no breaks as recommended by my GP, and what I initially thought was breakthrough bleeding/spotting turned into a 16-day period that left me close to anaemia.

I’ve been on so many different contraceptive pills and marvelon is the only one that’s ever worked for me, everyone at my GP calls it marvellous marvelon ! My mum also used this contraceptive when she was younger, so make sure to ask women in your family if you’re looking for help :)

Only side effect I got is womb cramps. For the first 2 days they are awful which is something i never had before

I have been on Marvelon for about two months now, I have tried 3 pills prior to Marvelon but Marvelon is the only one that I have had bleeding every day. Its sort of bleeding discharge, a darkish colour that comes out on my pants every day. It is very frustrating. I also am suffering from awful stomach aches, I can only stomach plain food like bread and at times cannot bear to eat meat, fish or vegetables. This poor diet has lead me to feeling even worse, once we come out of Lockdown I will be looking for a alternate method. I want to add I am very sensitive to the pill, I have had problems on all the pills I have been on, however this is the only pill that I have bled on every day.

My third pill brand I'm trying. The first two were Rigevidon and Gedarel 20/150. I switched from Gedarel to Marvelon at my own request, because it seems to be better received due to its unique filler ingredient composition, and I was also getting spotting due to the low estrogen content. It definitely doesn't make me depressed like Rigevidon did, but there's a lot of issues, however subtle they are. I've done extensive research and read papers. This summarises it well: https://ideas.ted.com/how-the-birth-control-pill-affects-your-mood/ Every brand of the pill will affect your brain neurochemistry and adrenal glands/ stress response. For me, this one makes me irritable and mad at every little thing. It's like being permanently on PMS rage. I will absolutely call everyone an idiot, get mad at people around me for simply breathing in the wrong way, and start arguments over everything. I literally turn into Gordon Ramsay, if he had PMS...

It is effective and can stop any issues with pregnancy when taken on time daily you don’t need to worry at all about it. It cleared my bad skin instantly because it controls hormone levels. I noticed my mood lowered and being very pessimistic which was odd for me because I am a usually a happier outgoing person. I feel like it has effected my mood and has caused hunger more often resulting in weight gain. The pros and cons are about equal with this pill. A cloudy day, rain, thunder and sun. Good luck

I was first on regevidon which caused me to have acne and gain weight (visible on my face mostly), I was then put on to Marvelon and I have clear skin. I also do not take the week break on the pill and it is perfect. However a missed pill or two pill cause immediate withdrawal bleeding in my case.

Got DVT and had to come off the pill Years of having bad veins on my legs and taking this pill!!
