I’m currently still taking this pill but looking to change. This is the third pill I’ve tried but hasnt been good. I’ve had severe an anxiety and depression. Haven’t felt like myself on it. Get frequent mood swings which last about hour or so, cry a lot. Overall would not recommend for your own sanity. However I didn’t notice any weight gain or change. My period last 1-3 days and very light

I was on it for approximately 7 years after being diagnosed with PCOS. Never had any issues with being on it. Periods became regular and lighter and my skin was relatively clear. Had the usual spot on my chin every month but that was about it.

Very happy I didn't put on weight, if that's your concern this is great, However maybe a higher oestrogen might help so the 30/75 cos I lost my sex drive and had dryness and ... maybe my sleep and mood were a bit off ?

It was a decent contraceptive with not too many symptoms that I noticed. I used this while I was between Qlaira (which I loved but went out of stock). I knew that a low dose combined contraceptive suited me better so I gave this a shot as it seems to currently have the lowest in the market. I preferred Loette/Aviane which has an even lower dosage but was discontinued. On the whole, this one didn't give me crazy symptoms, and what was there was mild enough to deal with, but I was happy to move on to Kyleena soon after.

I’ve found this pill works for me in general. I have experienced some symptoms such as enlarged breasts and loss of sex drive but I find they get better again after my pill break. I’ve only had low moods on this pill when I’ve taken two packs back to back and it has really cleared up my skin. All in all it’s definitely the easiest pill I’ve been on yet.

Started it 8 y ago because I moved overseas and didn't want to risk getting pregnant abroad. GYN told me I would have to review my experience in 3 years. First 3 years were a bit weirded out, many new changes in my life therefore my mood was volatile. First period after the pill came late, GYN told me not to worry about it as I had never been regular beforehand. 3 years pass and I go for a review, the same GYN tells me there is no need for a review as I didn't have any problems. At the 5th year I start feeling heavy, constantly not comfortable with my body, hair loss happened during the year at a slow pace, mood constantly changing, going from irritable to crying my eyes out for the most stupid reason. Note that this is a low level hormon pill. I advise to use it for a few years but not over the 5. Long term use feels a bit tiring (physically) and body changes happen in the long run.

Overall, I think it works well as a contraception but the low moods is what effects the most.

Best pill I’ve been on and I’ve tried a fair few. Seems to work well so would recommend trying.

Went on this pill because of my periods and it’s the best thing I have ever done. I rarely have period pain, it’s cleared my skin and my periods are a lot lighter. My breasts are always tender for a couple of days before a period which is normal and i did gain over a stone since starting the pill which isn’t a problem as I was underweight. Literally recommended this pill If it is suitable for you.

I was happy on this pill for most of the time. However, after about a year I started to notice more mood swings and my skin got really bad. I then also started breakthrough bleeding and getting really bad cramps. A lot of these reviews say that this pill starts to go downhill after about a year, which I would agree with. Further, I noticed that although I hadn't gained weight, it became a lot harder to lose weight, especially around the lower tummy area.
