Did its job in preventing pregnancy but had to stop due to debilitating mental side effects, nausea, & markedly decreased sex drive. Felt extremely moody & anxious, random crying spells for no reason. Frequently would wake up in the middle of the night feeling I was going to vomit, very hot & sweaty so didn't sleep well while on it. Only took it on full stomach to try to reduce the nausea but it didn't always matter. Not pleasant at all.

Side effects wise this pill was almost perfect. If it hadn't made my depression much worse, I would have continued taking it. Aside from low mood and vaginal dryness, I barely had any other side effects.

I have had very little to no issues with this pill! Ive been taking it since just before my 17th birthday and I’m now 21. My periods are lighter, and the only thing I can remember changing about my body when I started taking it is having slightly more discharge and my breasts being a bit more tender but that’s it. Would recommend trying!
