Microgynon 30 pill and body hair getting darker

main thing for me was the super low sex drive. filling this out, interested to also see sweating a lot as an option. As I do sweat a lot, very easily so very interested (and hope) that is a side effect as looking to change/come off.

After taking the contraceptive pill for the past 15 years and being told it’s perfectly safe, I found out at the beginning of this year that I have 3 tumours on my liver as a result of long term usage of the pill. This week I underwent major surgery and had a liver resection to remove the biggest tumour, which at over 7cm was at risk of haemorrhaging. I’ve got two other smaller tumours which will hopefully shrink now I’ve come off the contraceptive pill. I hope my story highlights that hormonal contraception is NOT SAFE!

Microgynon does what it says on the tin. I went onto Microgynon after having a horrendous time with Desogestrel and this is definitely better but still not great. My periods off birth control are very heavy and painful so this was the reason I went into birth control in the first place, but my week break where I bleed now, my periods are just as heavy and painful. My emotional state is ok on this pill. The only positive really is that I haven't gotten pregnant.
