This hormone made me suicidal. I was trialling it for 3 months as I intended to get the mirena coil but wanted to see how I reacted to the specific hormone before I had it more permanently in my system. All day every day all I could think about was killing myself. I felt miserable and severely depressed. I started getting spots on my face and chest, one of my breasts is still slightly larger than the other since taking and stopping this medication (past them being sisters not twins level of different). The low mood wasn't noticeable to me until I'd run out of the 3 months script and couldn't get any more for a while. Within days I felt miles better. My period had been stopped already by my cerazette usage, and it didn't return while I was taking Norgeston. Absolutely I would recommend trying Norgeston before committing to the Mirena coil, if I hadn't I'm not entirely sure I'd still be here!

Thought the first 3 moths on this pill I had a lot of spotting and very irregular periods, but after been on the pill for 6 months now my periods have become more regular now get longer breaks between before next period. At the start on going on the pill had really bad headaches and dizzy ness but I think my body was adjusting as it was my first time on any pill , but still get slight migraine here and there but not as bad as when started on this pill. My weight hasn’t changed was 9st when started and 9st 6 months on this pill. My family said they couldn’t tell if had much mood change so must be on change.
