I went on this pill because I have endometriosis and lasting impact from a pelvic infection. It has been good for the pain levels but it has made me feel erratic , over emotional and irritable. I have been bleeding half the month, from spotting to heavier bleeds with bloodclots - thinking this is because the estrogen is low? I have had vaginal dryness, loss of lebido and also thrush... which I have never experienced before. I wouldn't say this pill has agreed with me!

This is the 3rd pill I've tried and unfortunately since being on this one I've had horrible mood swings and been more emotionally down - I'm normally quite a happy bubbly person but this pill has made me quite miserable and leaves me feeling as though I'm not in control of my emotions.

I'd take microgynon over this pill any day. I'm surprised that a lower dose pill has more unpleasant side effects. Bloating, fluid retention, extreme sickness the first couple of days followed by an insatiable appetite on day 3 plus mood swings and just feeling horrendous.
