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.

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.
