I only used it for a month but I had the worst itching and pain ever. it felt like I had thrush constantly and the skin down there was very painful and irritated. I've had this side effect with every single pill I've tried but this one was by far the worst.

The only side effect has been mood swings but they’re pretty minor, although i am more emotional overall. Has improved my skin and works really well at regulating and lightening my periods
Somewhat negative mood
