I was prescribed this pill as I struggled to gain weight therefore, I didn’t have a regular period. I never had any awful experiences with this pill other than after 3 years I started to experience reoccurring thrush. Once it was treated it usually went away until recently, I have been experiencing thrush almost every month always during the week before my break. It has become unbearable leading me to change to a different lower dose birth control instead.

Been on combined pill for 16 years with no breaks. Periods are now regular - previously irregular & not as frequent as they should be. Never fallen pregnant. Had pre-existing issues with depression/self esteem/anxiety, so cannot say whether my mental health has declined or not. I like the flexibility of taking packs back to back if I want to avoid having a period on a certain date, and I prefer being on a contraceptive where I have a bleed as a clear indicator that I’m unlikely to be pregnant each month. I started using a cup several years ago and have noticed my bleeds often contain large clots. Only get period pain on the first day of my period which I manage with ibuprofen and then it subsides. Have been HPV positive on my last two smears and recently had a colposcopy which confirmed I have no abnormal cells as of yet - Having done research, apparently being on the pill can elevate your risk of cervical cancer.

First contraception I've tried, personally this one wasn't for me. The first month of taking it started having very heavy nose bleeds although they seemed to stop after 2 months, my blood pressure is way too high and it made me feel dizzy and I ended up with loads of headaches
