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

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’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.
Worse skin
