At first it's was good for the first 8/10 months of using this pill. After the first year I noticed a dramatic difference in my mood and down there being sore quite often. Had cystitis twice and thrush was a pain to get rid of. Currently still taking it but I want to stop using this as it's done me no favours.

I was on this pill for 11 years with no problems at all, cleared my skin up a treat! (Only had facial acne before at 15 yrs old). I swore by it. Then I started getting aura migraines & double vision, which have stopped since changing to desogestrol 3 years ago. However, I now have face, chest, back & arm acne at the age of 30...

To be honest, I do not think there are any forms of insanely good contraception. There’s always a catch. This pill is better than my last (microgynon) so far even with all the side effects that I’m facing. But for me the tiredness is really starting to get to me. My sex drive has decreased slightly but in a way that I’d rather just pleasure myself than have actual sex with my boyfriend simply because it’s easier for me and I find it hard to climax when on the pill.
