Ovranette pill and vaginal dryness

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.

I overall didn’t really have a problem with this. I was getting really bad acne on my cheeks and literally as soon as I started taking this I completely stopped getting pimples... which is great!!! I did notice I had a few mood swings - nothing too bad. My boobs got a little bigger but on the 7 days off the pill it got back to normal and then when I started taking it again it grew a little, vice versa. I also did notice my bloatings lasted longer. The only thing i have to complain about this is how PAINFUL my cramps were on the first day i got my period. I have always been lucky to barely ever get cramps when i was on my period, but seriously the first day cramps i felt when i got off the pill just for 7 days were the WORST. This was my first time on the pill and I don’t have any seriously complaints at all xx

This pill was fine but I think after being on it for a year, I don't want to be on it anymore. I don't like how much it has affected my body and mind, so will likely come off of it.
