Ovranette pill and cystitis

I was extremely anxious. I would be extremely jittery and uncomfortable in my own body each day I took it. I was very emotional by the evenings and tired from being so anxious..

I took the pill back to back, and only experienced some spotting once or twice a year. I loved not having periods. I never got pregnant and I didn't have any issue remembering to take the pill. My moods did not seem to change although I did have depression during this time, and my sex drive was lower. However, I suffered from 6 + years of extremely uncomfortable bloating, recurrent thrush and BV, and more recently a strange underarm rash. I think my body was reacting badly to the oestrogen. I thought I had bad IBS or a food intolerance, but the symptoms disappeared immediately after coming off the pill, so if you're experiencing these symptoms I'd consider changing your contraception.

Was on the combined pill (Ovranette and Microgynon) for about 15 years and didn't have any major side effects while using it. Occasionally experienced migraines while on the week's break. No sex drive. Loved being able to take the packets back to back to avoid having a breakthrough bleed. Unfortunately for the last year of taking it I started getting regular spotting/bleeding and after numerous investigations with no results, was recommended to stop taking the pill which I did and moved onto other methods of contraception.
