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 is the 2nd pill I've tried, it wasn't bad. it made my periods a lot lighter but didn't help with the pain as much as my previous pill (microgynon 30). I had some vaginal itching with this pill as I did with the last one too, this is the main reason I'm stopping it. I feel like it also decreased my sex drive and caused some weight gain but I'm not 100% sure.

I switched to this pill due to sensitivity to progesterone only methods and struggling with low mood during PMS. It helped my moods massively and improved my skin, however it did cause me to have very tender breasts at some points during my cycle. I took it continuously for 3 months with a 4 day break so only had a period every 3 months however usually I'd get spotting for 1 or 2 days around the 2 month mark- not sure if this would even out after a while as I was only on this pill for 6 months. I've now had to be taken off the combined pull due to high blood pressure but would have continued on it if I was able.
