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!

Ugh...honestly so sad to be going off this pill. If it weren't for the fact I've completely lose sensation and sex drive I would stay on this for as long as necessary. Made my mood so stable with no other side effects apart from breast tenderness and enlargment, but I'm used to having tender breasts anyway. A lot of spotting in the beginning which was fine, nothing major just wore panty liners.


Very positive mood

I have had a great experience with Millinette 20. I got a bit of headaches and dizziness at the start but they disappeared quite quickly. Originally I took the pill back to back and then with a 4 day break but neither of these gave my body enough time to bleed, so I adjusted to having a 7 day break and that has been great. I’ve had very few side effects overall, and it’s been great.
