I didn’t have a positive experience with this combined pill, my moods were very irrational and irritable, my periods irregular and it made me sweat more, which was a strange and uncomfortable side effect!

I was on this pill as my first time on birth control and really didn’t enjoy it, my doctor at the time didn’t tell me any other options of birth control and it was all new to me but I found this pill made me very nauseous, really bad head aches on this and very extreme mood swings which was horrible, I know everyone’s experience is different but this was mine, I did gain a bit of weight as well

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.
