Ovranette pill and lighter periods

My period was ok on it. My acne was very bad cystic nothing would get rid of it. Changed to Yasmin and I haven’t had cystic acne my skin is clearing. Hair thinned on top of my head too. This pill can cause high androgens which can cause bad hormonal acne and hair loss

This was the first pill I was put on and for a long time I used this and thought I was fine but ultimately it made me very low and negative. And even had suicidal thoughts which I’d never had before taking Ovranette. I lost my sex drive but it made my periods lighter but last longer. As soon as I came off this I instantly felt like a cloud had lifted and felt happy and positive again it was amazing coming off this pill for me.

Have been taking Ovranette for around 10 years now purely for contraceptive reasons. I never had any issues with periods or had major acne problems (just typical teenage acne!). A few months after taking Ovranette I only really get spots if my diet has been bad and my periods are so much lighter. Dramatic reduction in sex drive, and gradual weight gain over the years. Overall I’m pleased with Ovranette as I haven’t had many major side affects, so will continue taking it.
