Not a great pill for PCOS. Within a couple of days my skin broke out like crazy, I started sweating so much and after a while noticed my body hair was growing faster again after being on Yasmin for a few years (ended up going back to it). I also was seriously depressed and very emotional on this pill all the time, sometimes unable to even get out of bed.

I’ve been on Millinette for 5 months now after switching from Levest and it has been a lot better! As this pill is low in oestrogen I have fewer side effects. Only changes I have noticed is my breasts have gone up a cup size, dry mouth for some reason? and I have found my acne has not gotten better/ maybe even worse. This pill is great for regulating periods though and you can skip the pack to delay it! I still get cramps but I would say they aren’t as painful or heavy as when I was off the pill which is a plus.

This pill is what I am currently on, and the only pill I have tried. I've felt a mood change with increased irritability and more frequent/easily triggered crying, and have experienced significant breast growth but no other major weight gain. For me, as a 15-year-old who would prefer a combined pill to any other contraceptive method, I believe it is the best fit for me, seeing as my nurse has evaluated that it is best.
