Took this for 7 weeks and my mood has rapidly declined over the last two weeks. Any inconvenience that I’d usually be able to brush off or get over seems to leave my crying uncontrollably. Anxiety levels are higher than normal for me. The two periods that I had while on the pill were definitely longer lasting, would usually be 5 days max but last one was 8 days (although light towards the end). Stopping today because of the depressive thoughts

I have no idea what to do, my options are limited. I’ve been on this since coming off desgesterol, which was working for me for years until it decided it wasn’t. Weight gain, dizziness and heavy periods. I’m always tired too.

I have been using Noriday for 1 month now. I started taking it on the first day of my period and found that my period pains were worse and my period lasted for around 8 days rather than 5-6. Since then I have had low level cramping and aching however nothing significant. I have had quite a lot of bloating but not change in weight. I do believe I have still ovulated this month and I haven’t seen any real change in mood or libido which are the two main things that are normally affected for me. Overall so far I’d say this has been better for me than Cerazette and Microgynon but will report back once I’ve used it for a while longer
