Millinette 20/75 pill and decreased sex drive

When I started everything was fine however in the last 6 months of taking the pill I started passing clots so big a pad and tampon would not help. I was bleeding through clothes daily and could not work. Before this was on the same pill for 1 and a half years.

I was prescribed this as my mental health was negatively impacted by Microgynon and this has a low amount of hormones. It’s good to note wherever I lived I found it difficult to get hold of this as it was rarely readily available in pharmacies and had to be ordered in. In later years of taking it my GP started to suggest I switched because this is expensive for the NHS to prescribe at no cost to the user. Positives were no period pain and light, regular periods. Zero physical or appearance related effects. I came off it because I realised I no longer felt like myself. In hindsight I spent almost 10 years in a daze. Lost my sex drive and it made me very anxious and dangerously depressed. I thought that was just me but it all went when I came off this pill. It also made me very hormonal and desperate for a baby but off hormonal contraception I know I don’t want kids!

Didn't get pregnant so that was good, no noticeable side effects other than think I had some loss of libido. Did have increased spots after coming off the pill and irregular periods still almost a year after stopping which is frustrating when now ttc.
