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.

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 was on it for approximately 7 years after being diagnosed with PCOS. Never had any issues with being on it. Periods became regular and lighter and my skin was relatively clear. Had the usual spot on my chin every month but that was about it.
