Overall, Haven’t noticed any changes to mood, it’s definitely made me gain a little bit of weight. However, My period i had when coming off the pill was in one word…. Excruciating. I’ve never had bad period cramps but with this pill my period came out in massive blood clots and it was very very painful.
Somewhat positive mood

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

II took this pill for 9 weeks straight. Initially, I felt good on Marvelon for around 10 days. I was put on this for suspected endometriosis but unfortunately, it made my periods heavier and cramping was worse. I had a horrible breakthrough bleed that was very heavy and lasted 9 days. I had acne during the first couple of weeks however this settled. I also had headaches and constipation for the whole time I was taking this pill.
