Overall this is a great pill that works like a dream for me. It has lessened my endo symptoms by making my periods lighter from what they were to something more manageable, and it's helped return my cycle to being more regular - it's almost perfect to the day depending on stresses during that particular month. I still bleed quite a lot, but it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be. It also mitigates the pains and cramps quite well - in the last 6 months I've only had to call in sick to work once due to my period pains being so bad. Whilst it doesn't always remove the pain completely, it eases it and I find that painkillers work more effectively when I'm taking marvelon.

I was on marvelon for 5 years and it really worked for me. Unfortunately I developed severe migraines in my pill free week so I had to stop taking it. But it was the best pill I ever tried.
