Millinette gave me full blown acne and made me a lot more teary which is so unlike me. Initially, I was on Rigevidon for 2.5 years, stopped as I experienced breakthrough bleeding/didn’t need it. Discovered I had major brain fog on it, and my thoughts / perception on dating became a lot better once off it. Decided to try Millinette based on that as I got into a new relationship, tried it for 3 months as advised. I’ve not always been spotty, I get hormonal breakouts but that’s it. I’m happy and healthy otherwise! Millinette made me start to break out in hormonal spots - on my forehead, chin (especially) and cheeks (which I’ve never experienced before). It was making me miserable! I also noticed how much more teary I’ve been lately - as if anything slightly upsetting can make me cry. I’ve been using differin (a retinol acne gel treatment) and it’s helped slightly but not much. I’ve also gone up an entire cup size, and my breasts are slightly achy all the time. I also have experienced headaches when I came off the pill for a bleed - I now take it consecutively because my body seems to react badly to the drop in hormones. I’ve stopped Millinette now, and based on a nurse’s advice I’m going to try Yaecella. I think my body/skin reacts badly to the progesterone in Millinette/with pills that have less oestrogen in them. Hopefully Yaecella works (it’s a new generation version of the famous Yasmin pill). I’m 21, 5’10 and 57kg if that helps too!

I was prescribed this pill and told to take it continuously to help with severe PMS and hormone withdrawl symptoms before the break bleed. I have been in a long term relationship for 7 years. I've tried many other oral contraceptives before this one (rigevidon, yasmin, cilest, dianette). When I was younger I suffered from hormonal acne and dianette helped to clear it but I couldn't stay on it for long because of increased risks and side effects. This is the first pill I've tried that's regulated my mood somewhat, hasn't effected my skin, and taking it continuously means I don't suffer from hormone withdrawal symptoms. The only downside is I struggle to keep weight off and have had increased breast pain on this pill, which seems to have regulated now but sometimes can be a bit annoying. I also get frequent UTIs, however this has calmed down after a longer course of antibiotics from the doc. Overall I'm happy with this pill, and it's the one I've stuck with the longest. However I'm a bit concerned what will happen when I decide to come off of it eventually and if my hormone withdrawal might be worse.
