Millinette 30/75 pill reviews

I was on this combined pill for a number of years after dotting around on Dianette and Yasmin for acne. My skin was still clear when on it and I never really had any issues at all. If I skipped a period I had some spotting but overall this was fine to deal with.

Mostly positive but the mood swings are the worst, never used to cry and now it’s nearly everyday! More regular periods and clearer skin, overall not bad!

The pill itself hasn’t given me mood swings however it has suppressed my sex drive and I feel it has contributed to slight weight increase too. Overall it’s fine to take as it makes my periods lighter and I don’t experience much pain with them.

I've been on this for almost 8 years now, having tried 3-4 different pills before this one. I first started taking the pill due to heavy period and this really helped lighten them.

I suffered with anxiety m before taking the pill but whilst taking the pill it made me more depressed and my anxiety is a lot more frequent than before

I’ve previously been on Loestrin 30, however due to this bring discontinued I was put on Milinette 30. Ivd had really horrendous mood swings, from feeling low and emotional to feeling really angry and aggressive, the total opposite of my usually rationale self. I’ve experienced lifelike nightmares, restless legs and bad cramps in my limbs. I’m shocked at how bad this pill has made me feel and I’m at a loss as to what to try next.

I’ve been on this pill for the last couple of years after swapping brands following irregular periods. I didn’t have any negative side effects such as weight gain, acne, mood swings etc and the pill was really good for controlling periods which is why I’ve stayed on it for so long. The only side effect I did experience was a positive one in which my periods became lighter.

Backstory: I was diagnosed with Endometriosis a year and a half ago, and recently my symptoms have been coming back with a vengeance. I had an ultrasound that showed my ovaries are now immobile, so I panicked and made an appointment with Fran from the Lowdown. She was really helpful! As I had had bad experiences with progestin-dominant pills when I was younger, she recommended I take Yasmin as it is one of the most estrogen-dominant options. I really wish I did - I was stubborn and chose Millinette 30/75 so I could say I'd tried everything before having to move onto Yasmin if it didn't work (aware this isn't very logical now). I stopped taking this just before the 3rd pack. Felt so flat, very distant from my boyfriend which I hated - like someone was sitting on my personality! Granted, I felt SO much worse on the mini pill, but with Uni finals, Endometriosis panic and a pandemic going on, I think I tried the pill at the wrong time and decided to come off after my boyfriend told me I was having the same anxiety-fueled conversation about the pill everyday. Obviously this pill may be amazing for some, and I can't say it was terrible because I've had worse and didn't gain weight, but if I decide to go on Yasmin it will be when life is more normal and calm so I can properly evaluate it. Something to bear in mind!! Generally on Millinette I felt very anxious in the morning (I was taking it in the morning). I briefly tried taking it at night and felt less anxious in the morning but still had random crying spells. I think a lot of this was the pill itself mixed with how anxious I was about everything above.

After being on this pill for nearly 3 years I’ve noticed that over those 3 years my sex-drive has been reduced to nothing. My mood is up and down fairly regularly, so much so that I’m considering coming off the pill altogether to rid my body of the hormones.

I started taking this for my acne and heavy periods. It completely cleared my skin and my periods got shorter. However, I started having depressive episodes after a couple months in.
