I was put on the combi-pill in secondary school/college years and it was to help regulate my periods which it did but I kept getting extremely bad migraines the first day/just before my period came and I would have to have the day off and stay in bed in the dark. So once I explained this to my Dr we both agreed that I would come if it and switch to a different pill. Which I did but that wasn’t any better so then that lead me to getting the Depo-Injection

i was prescribed this pill to help with vaginal itching and burning from Tri-Cylen. The pill helped with itching and burning but I lost my sex drive completely and had terrible vaginal dryness. I also noticed my body changed in some ways where I started holding more fat around my stomach, thighs, hips, and breasts. My skin was already clear from the other pill and this pill also helped keep it clear. My periods became really light (3 days long) and I would typically get cramping the week before my period and then some cramping on my period. But the cramps were not as painful as before I was on birth control.
