This was a good pill although I did notice the side affects of my mood and libido they were much less extreme than using various other combined pills. Over all of the pills I have used this is probably the one which doesn’t affect my day to day life as much. I would recommend giving it a go if you are experiencing severe side effects from your current contraception. It’s not perfect by it’s a trusty middle ground!

when i started i was spotting for about a month and a half, but it wasn’t anything heavy, only a panty liner was needed. i’ve noticed no change to my mood or my weight, but when i have my week’s break i find my period doesn’t start until around 4 days after i stop taking the pill which means they have become a bit irregular. i now also have some vagina dryness but it isn’t too bad and hasn’t affected my sex life at all.

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.

It was a decent contraceptive with not too many symptoms that I noticed. I used this while I was between Qlaira (which I loved but went out of stock). I knew that a low dose combined contraceptive suited me better so I gave this a shot as it seems to currently have the lowest in the market. I preferred Loette/Aviane which has an even lower dosage but was discontinued. On the whole, this one didn't give me crazy symptoms, and what was there was mild enough to deal with, but I was happy to move on to Kyleena soon after.

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.

I’m currently still taking this pill but looking to change. This is the third pill I’ve tried but hasnt been good. I’ve had severe an anxiety and depression. Haven’t felt like myself on it. Get frequent mood swings which last about hour or so, cry a lot. Overall would not recommend for your own sanity. However I didn’t notice any weight gain or change. My period last 1-3 days and very light

I took this for two months with no break but couldn't deal with the side effects any longer. I had a really dry mouth for a few weeks which did subside, but I had constant minor craps the entire time with spotting. My breasts were always tender and my sex drive FULLY went. It also made my mood crash which is the main reason I have stopped with it.

I assumed that as the dose was v low the side effects would be minimal, but I had the most dry mouth and my anxiety went sky high, to the point I lost my brain completely - paranoia, memory loss, brain fog. I had to come off it after a month as I couldn't stomach it anymore. Disclaimer - I do have severe anxiety and depression normally but this was something else.

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.

Overall a good pill. But the first few months gave me some anxiety type symptoms and you have to be bang on with taking your pill every day otherwise there's lots of breakthrough bleeding.
