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 switched to this one from Mercilon, it was great no issues other than loss of sex drive so I was hoping this one would bring it back. I'd say it helped a tiny bit in terms of me actually wanting sex but the negatives far outweigh the positives. I've had crazy back pain, super-sensitive breasts, late periods, headaches, spots etc. My body really doesn't agree with this pill and I'll be switching back to my previous one.
Somewhat negative mood
