I recently left a review stating that Norgeston might be ‘the one’ but since then I’ve had to stop taking it due to awful indigestion/ heartburn/ acid reflux. It’s daily and started when I started taking Norgeston and also happened with Cerelle a while back. Even after stopping taking it, it hasn’t gone away... Also my moods were awful. I felt numb and annoyed at everything/ everyone. Developed a complex of always being right. Hated this pill in comparison to low dose combined but I’m not allowed to take that because of migraine with aura.

This was the 5th pill I tried and by far the best. Other than headaches in the hours after I take it, the side effects are minimal. I do feel more emotional and cry a lot more but that’s been the case for any of the pills I’ve tried.

I liked this pill to start with- I have acute anxiety and I found this pill really helped to balance my hormones however I have lost a severe amount of weight (53kg to 47kg). To start with I was bleeding between periods but recently I’ve been experiencing periods lasting up to 3 weeks which makes me feel dizzy and sick, not sure how much the pros out weigh the cons.
