I used this pill a few years ago during a difficult period and wondered then if it impacted my mood, but it was a difficult time so it was hard to gauge. Tried again this time around and sadly no the pill was definitely a contributing factor. My pill free week I had a constant feeling of anxiety, which then followed into my next round. Im not really an anxious person but by week 4 on this I felt constantly on edge. Im a light sleeper anyway so I didn't make the connection last time between insomnia symptoms and night sweats but I think this contributed. I wonder if its linked to the heightened anxiety. A shame because otherwise no impact on skin, weight or periods sadly it just does not work with my mental health. I recently switched to Yasmin and it was like a light came on almost to the day I switched. I'd avoided it because of some negative stories id heard but for me its been much better so far. Sadly its a bit of trial and error to find the right one for you.

I wanted so badly to like this pill, and thought because of the lower dose of hormones compared to other brands it might be better. Sadly it didn’t quite work out for me. I trialed it tri-cycling, running the packs back to back with no break, and normally with a 7 day break each month but nothing seemed to make a difference. Overall it made me feel quite numb day to day, as well as teary very easily (I cried over a video about slugs, and I don’t even like them). My sex drive went completely out the window, which has impacted me and my partner quite substantially - it takes real effort for me to get in the mood whilst being on this. I am frequently very tired, have constant headaches that last about a week every month, thrush every month during “ovulation” which takes about a week to clear with over the counter meds, vaginal dryness, lower back pain, and weight gain - although this could partially be a result of being in a happy relationship and a love for little sweet treats. My boobs have gotten bigger, but again this may be from the overall weight gain. No tender boobs, acne (as a past accutane user), awful cramps or pregnancy scares - which are definitely all positives! Everyone’s experience is different, and I’m not trying to fear monger at all, just want to be honest about my experience on this pill so that people who do extensive doom scroll research like me can be informed. Trying the mini pill once my cycle finishes in the hopes it at least stops the monthly thrush / headaches, but hopefully helps the other side effects lessen a bit too 🤞🏼

I was recommended to go on this pill due to major mood swings around my period. It has improved my mood swings & mental health exponentially, I feel I can now function properly for the whole month. It’s a bonus that it’s cleared up my spots. The only negative side effects I’ve got is a decreased libido & dryness which personally don’t bother me.
