Highly recommend. Went on the 20-75 because I've previously had nausea issues on a 30mg (dretine) and I haven't had any nausea problems with this. Cleared up a bit of hormonal acne, no noticeable side effects except a slightly lower sex drive. I take 3 packs back to back and then a break so have some breakthrough bleeding but nothing major and my periods do come regularly when I take the break. I went on it to sort out mood swings and it absolutely sorted that out - now have to come off it and go onto a mini-pill for adenomyosis but I wish i didn't have to!

This was a good pill although I did notice the side affects of my mood and libido they were much less extreme than using various other combined pills. Over all of the pills I have used this is probably the one which doesn’t affect my day to day life as much. I would recommend giving it a go if you are experiencing severe side effects from your current contraception. It’s not perfect by it’s a trusty middle ground!

when i started i was spotting for about a month and a half, but it wasn’t anything heavy, only a panty liner was needed. i’ve noticed no change to my mood or my weight, but when i have my week’s break i find my period doesn’t start until around 4 days after i stop taking the pill which means they have become a bit irregular. i now also have some vagina dryness but it isn’t too bad and hasn’t affected my sex life at all.
