This pill is the DEVIL. I’ve tried many pills and this is the absolute worst. It starts off fine but somehow worsens the longer you are taking it?? Awful headaches, bleeding heavy enough to be using more than 3 sanitary towels per hour which lasts weeks. I was bleeding the majority of each month. The cramps were unbearable. Painful acne, THRUSH (which I never usually get), and caused me to have depression the worst I’ve ever experienced. As soon as I stopped taking, every symptom disappeared. I know everyone has different experiences on each contraceptive, but a pill that has the potential to cause all of this can’t be good for anyone. Please avoid for your own health.

Just read that this is the cheapest pop pill that’s made? No wonder I have a period every week it’s crazy. I’ll bleed extremely heavily for 6-7 days have a 3-4 day break then will happen again it’s never ending, I’ve not bled for about 2 months now though it’s just always up and down don’t know what to do
